Ran respectably over 2m on soft ground on penultimate start last term, but it was over 2m on Kempton AW (5-4 favourite) next time that he took the step forward to make his breakthrough; absent for nearly a year before rearing over in the stalls at Chester three weeks ago, taking no part when he was second favourite; could still have potential as a stayer if there are no alarms this time.

10st 2lb |
Ran respectably over 2m on soft ground on penultimate start last term, but it was over 2m on Kempton AW (5-4 favourite) next time that he took the step forward to make his breakthrough; up 4lb today but appeared to have potential at 2m+ when last seen; it's the absence and return to turf which give him most to prove. |

27th Sep 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Never reached the leaders in first attempt on soft ground at Ffos Las last month but had looked a thorough stayer on handicap debut over C&D previously, losing a prominent position early in the straight but staying on stoutly to take a late third behind an improver; interesting back on AW. |

Ex-Irish 3yo who has won three of his six starts for current yard, including a quick double last month at Epsom (1m4f, soft) and Chester (1m6f, good to soft); up another 6lb but firmly in charge on both those occasions and has to make appeal on his upward curve.

Ex-Irish gelding who made it 2-5 for current yard when scoring at Epsom (1m4f, soft) last Thursday; up 5lb but that was a comfortable win and he chased home a major improver over 1m6f at Wolverhampton on his penultimate run; respected back up in trip. |

Acts on soft; inclined to pull hard since handicapping, including when back from 1m4f to 1m2f last time, and will need to settle much better over this new trip; the returning hood (tried three starts back) could help but there are risks involved.

Third on varied ground on her first three starts this term, persistently short of room when close at Salisbury (1m4f) on second occasion but no excuse when hooded next time; 18-1 and well beaten on handicap debut at Glorious Goodwood (1m4f) one month ago, which is a concern, notwithstanding today's drop back to 1m2f. |

Eight-race maiden who's performing consistently but the exception came as 2yo on her only start on heavy going; her sixth when favourite trying 1m6f and cheekpieces (both for the first time) on latest outing was not her best form and today she sports blinkers.

Fair form in three handicaps this season, most notably when third at Salisbury (1m2f, good to firm) on first occasion; not really favoured by the weights in this maiden but still considered each-way. |
