Progressive 6yo who has collected wins here (2m3f, good) and at Perth (2m4f, good) this season; creditable fourth of 15 off today's mark at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) on latest outing five weeks ago and promising conditional Dylan Johnston claims a useful 5lb here; commands respect.

26th Jul 2024 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Has struck form with a vengeance with wins at Fontwell (2m3f, good) last month and Perth (2m4f, good) last time; raised another 6lb but that may well not be enough to stop him landing a three-timer. |

4th Jul 2024 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Arrives on the up, cosily bagging 2m3f Fontwell handicap hurdle 22 days ago; he's not taken lightly despite a 5lb rise in the weights. |

7 yo Mare
OR: 100
Returned to form with career-best performance over C&D (good) in May, winning easily by 21l, but last month's run in a Cartmel novice was disappointing and she's evidently not one to rely upon heavily.

raced in fourth, went third 6th, hit 7th, lost position when outpaced after 3 out, headway last, kept on well final 110yds, went second final stride |

20th Jul 2024 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Seems to need good ground and she waltzed home in a 2m5f handicap at Fontwell (2m5f); that was a modest Class 4 event and may need more here. |
9/2 |

1st 9 |
26th May 2024 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
0-9 under rules; third in three consecutive starts over 2m-2m3f in the autumn and 3m on soft ground was probably too much for her at Taunton last time out, but she still has enough to prove back from another three months off. |

7 yo Gelding
OR: 102
Has emerged from a spell in the doldrums since fitted with cheekpieces for last two races, more recently when close second at Worcester (2m4f, good) 11 days ago; competes off same mark here and will be a tough nut to crack if in similar form again.

30th Aug 2024 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |

jumped right on occasions, pressed leader, outpaced when lost second before 2 out, kept on final 110yds, briefly went second towards finish |

2nd 10 |
19th Aug 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won maiden at Fontwell in January 2023; offered more than of late when fourth at Uttoxeter (3m, good) last month on his second start back from wind surgery with cheekpieces (retained) replacing the hood; more improvement required but not dismissed. |

8 yo Gelding

Multiple Flat/hurdle who runs this track well and is suited by good or faster ground; not firing on all cylinders under either code this year but has become too well handicapped to rule out.

10th 8 |
26th Jul 2024 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Has a mixed record since his hat-trick (including two Flat wins) last summer; backed down to favourite but ran a shocker when last of seven at Newton Abbot (2m3f, good) in May; safely held on the Flat this month; plenty to prove. |

5 yo Filly
OR: 101
Won readily by 6l at Market Rasen (2m, good) on stable debut in June; only fifth when odds-on to follow up over same C&D last month but was beaten under 2l in a tactical race that wasn't really run to suit; tries a new trip here and could still have a lot more to offer.

7th Sep 2024 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Won readily by 6l on stable debut at Market Rasen (2m, good) in June and her odds-on defeat there the following month is not viewed too harshly but she didn't fire at Fontwell last week and now has a point to prove. |
4/1 |

5th 7 |
7th Jul 2024 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Ex-Irish and arrived here two weeks ago as a ten-race maiden but she put that right on stable debut with a comfortable 6l success (good; following wind surgery); has coped with soft ground in the past (should it rain) and might cope with the 11lb rise as well. |

Made the frame off higher marks than today's in both handicaps for Alan King in spring 2023 (2m3f/3m1f) and won a restricted point for his current connections in April; no surprise if he features on this rules return.

13th May 2023 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
3m point winner (good to yielding) who returned to form when third of seven on handicap debut at Fontwell (2m3f, good) last month; shaped last time as though he would benefit from this step up in trip; on the shortlist. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 9 |
21st Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 49y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Irish point winner; creditable third on British/hurdling debut at Market Rasen (2m4f, soft) in November but has been tailed off in both subsequent runs; in good hands and now switches to a handicap but opening mark looks on the high side and he needs improvement. |
8/1 |
