Six wins from 22 Flat runs. Career best when winning 14-runner C&D handicap 21 days ago by ½ length from Galiac. Likely to remain very competitive after a 4 lb rise.
|
Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. Hard to get too excited by his recent efforts but he's potentially well treated if staging a revival.
|
Course winner. Latest win at Newmarket in June. Creditable ½-length second of 14 to Menai Bridge in handicap (4/1) at this C&D 21 days ago. Likeable type who should give another good account of himself.
|
Losing run dates back to 2019 but he's been given a chance by the handicapper and he may have just needed it after a short break when behind a few of these over C&D last time. No shock were he to go well.
|
C&D winner. 6/1, respectable second of 7 in handicap at Ascot (1m, good) 12 days ago, going down only to an improving 3-y-o. Leading claims.
|
Creditable 1½ lengths fourth of 14 to Menai Bridge in C&D handicap 21 days ago. Another who can't be discounted.
|
Already a four-time winner this year, latest success coming in 7f handicap at Doncaster in August. Ran well from out of the handicap at Ascot latest. Has his first outing on AW here.
|
Latest win at Pontefract in August. Creditable third of 7 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, soft, 7/2) 12 days ago. This might be a bit too competitive for his liking, though.
|
Dual 6f course winner at start of year. Also successful at Doncaster (7f) in May. Sixth of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, good to firm) 79 days ago.
|
Lightly-raced winner. 50/1 and cheekpieces on first time, well held in Sandringham Handicap at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) in June. Subsequently had wind surgery. Makes tapeta debut. Much less exposed than most of these.
|
Landed AW hat-trick for Tony Carroll in the spring and also won on debut for this yard at Epsom in June. Met trouble at Lingfield last time and treated as if still in form.
|
Absent since finishing well held on turf at Nottingham in April but he had been in good form on AW prior to that. Even a return to his best is unlikely to be enough, though.
|
4-time C&D winner. 25/1, creditable 1½ lengths third of 14 to Menai Bridge in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago, faring best of those held up. Not taken lightly.
|
Latest win at Carlisle in July. 8/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (1m, good to soft) 45 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Others more persuasive.

Forecasts
Menai Bridge (4/1), Galiac (9/2), Double Dealing (15/2), Don't Tell Claire (17/2), Sip And Smile (9/1), Bringitonboris (10/1), Golden Mayflower (10/1), Yaaser (11/1), Young Fire (11/1), Light Up Our Stars (14/1), Global Spirit (25/1), Raising Sand (40/1), Strongbowe (50/1), Neat And Dandy (80/1)
DON'T TELL CLAIRE went down only to a fast-improving 3-y-o at Ascot last time and may be capable of going one better at a venue where she's tasted success before. Galiac, Menai Bridge and Bringitonboris are closely matched on C&D form from 3 weeks ago and are all likely to be in the thick of things again.
- Galiac9/2
- Menai Bridge4/1
