Came from off the pace to score in this grade at Wolverhampton nine days ago, having rejoined Darryll Holland; evidently in good heart but has 4lb penalty to carry and may not be quite as effective on this track.

1st Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Good record at classified level includes two AW wins since rejoining this yard; has more on his plate in this field and the hat-trick looks far from certain, given his poor strike-rate in handicaps. |

Made the frame in three consecutive 5f turf handicaps when cheekpieces were added in May/June but needs to find something extra to get a win on the board, and he lost all chance when blowing the start on his latest outing.

OR: 45
Didn't take to hurdling in June and was soundly beaten on both subsequent Flat starts (7f/1m) but this return to sprinting looks the right move and he has claims if judged on his 5f handicap second at Lingfield in May.

27th Jul 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has very modest 1-45 strike-rate and is better known as a sprinter; didn't take to hurdling two starts ago and finished well down the field when back on the Flat at Chepstow (7f); difficult to enthuse over. |

Safely held when third on consecutive starts this summer (5.2f classified/5f handicap) and a recent 1m experiment did not pay dividends; now 0-9; needs to find some improvement from somewhere.

22nd Aug 2024 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Eight-race maiden who was a respectable 3l third at Bath (5f, good to soft) last time but his mark has bottomed out now and not sure this step up to 7f will suit (can take strong hold); others preferred. |

14-race maiden; placed in this grade on turf in June and gave pretty good account when fifth of ten in C&D handicap a fortnight ago; finished behind Restricted on that latest outing but still considered each-way.

15th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Still seeking his first win (0-13) and underwhelming since finishing third at Brighton (5.5f classified; 12-1) in June; beaten a neck over this trip on sole previous visit to Chelmsford in January, which does offer hope. |
14/1 |

7th 7 (11) |
23rd Jul 2024 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
12-race maiden; kept on well for close second in 5f Chelmsford handicap in January and was placed in this grade at Brighton (5.2f, good to firm) last month, but he was soundly beaten on his last two appearances and can't be supported with much confidence. |

Won twice as a 2yo for Keith Dalgleish but was very disappointing for Steve Woodman last year; makes debut for latest new stable after 346-day absence and could be considered only if lively in the betting; visor added.

22nd Aug 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Had 1m form here in 2023 but close up in his first 5f classified, at Bath in June, and won the second quite cosily at Yarmouth in July; well held last week but has claims back over 6f at this level. |
5/1 |

6th 6 (3) |
15th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Dropped in trip to make the breakthrough (15th attempt), downing an evens favourite at Yarmouth (5f classified; 11-2) 16 days ago; didn't look entirely straightforward there (hung left), but handles Chelmsford and this rates as a suitable next objective. |

20th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Handy sort who has finished runner-up in handicaps in four of his last five starts on the AW, two of them over C&D; only beaten half a length at Chelmsford (5f, Polytrack) last Thursday, but his high draw creates a problem. |

30th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Longstanding, regressive maiden who's been as far as 1m and has finished held in a couple of runs over 5f lately, including from out of the weights at the weekend; the lowest rated contender, so again has something to find. |

Won 5f Wolverhampton handicap last month and ran on well for third behind Bernard Spierpoint in this grade there nine days ago; 4lb better off with that rival here and may be the better suited by today's change of venue.

9st 1lb |
All four of her wins have come over C&D, the latest in July off 1lb lower; never-dangerous third in a classified event over C&D last month but failed to build on it at Chelmsford nine days later; return to this track will suit and she's not ruled out. |

All four wins have come in handicaps over C&D, the latest two starts back; a high draw did for her in a similar contest to this back here four weeks ago, though, and she faces a similar dilemma this time. |

Belied 40-1 odds when keeping-on third at Wolverhampton last month and had excuses when down the field on turf on Saturday but this 27-race maiden makes only limited appeal from the outside draw here.

24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
26-race maiden but she didn't get the best of runs when third at Wolverhampton (5f classified) last month and that was her best effort for some time; effective at 6f and has each-way claims again if she can transfer that latest form back to turf. |
10/1 |
