Off the mark in class 5 C&D handicap on return but just respectable efforts both starts since. Back down in trip.
|
Twice a winner at Thirsk last year but held back by temperament since. Off 11 months. First run for yard after leaving Charlie Fellowes.
|
Career best when winning 9-runner handicap (50/1) at Goodwood (9f, good to soft), suited by strong pace. Pulled too hard next time and step up in trip is a concern.
|
Good second of 12 in handicap at Salisbury (14.2f, good) despite making effort earlier than ideal. Not in same form next time but respected back on turf.
|
Unfancied in the betting but caught the eye on first outing for this yard at Kempton 17 days ago. This stiffer test will suit and potentially on a good mark if building on that.
|
Just one win on turf but returned with a good run in a similar event over C&D in August. Drop back in trip seemed against him both starts since.
|
Latest win at Ripon in August and wasted no time getting back on track when fourth at Hamilton, not ideally placed. Not ruled out.
|
Respectable efforts both starts this season, including when runner-up in this headgear at Catterick last month. Back down in trip.
|
Twice a winner last season and probably needed belated return last month. Needs to take a big step forward but has dipped below last winning mark.
|
Much better for stable debut when runner-up at Bath last month. Not disgraced back over hurdles last week.
|
Latest win at Lingfield in August and back to form when only just failed in a similar event under this rider at Windsor on Monday. Obvious claims off the same mark.
|
Has generally struggled to land a blow from off the pace this season but mark continues to fall at least.
|
Arrives on the back of 3 creditable in-frame efforts on the AW so not taken lightly back on turf.
|
Winner at Bath (17f) in June but last 2 starts suggests he's gone off the boil. 3 lb out of handicap.

Azor Ahai (9/4), Peckinpah (6/1), Percy Prosecco (13/2), Enhanced (13/2), Celtic Classic (15/2), Dance King (9/1), Thorntoun Care (12/1), Filles De Fleur (12/1), Flat To The Max (16/1), The Game Is On (20/1), Harmonise (22/1), One To Go (25/1), Earthly (50/1), Ingenuity (50/1), Buckland Boy (66/1)
It could be worth chancing FLAT TO THE MAX, who caught the eye on his first outing for this yard at Kempton last time and is potentially well treated if building on that. Azor Ahai holds obvious claims having gone close in a similar event under this rider at Windsor on Monday, while Peckinpah is a player on the form he showed at Salisbury 2 starts back.
