Supplemented his Pontefract win over 6f at his venue in June. Excellent second at former venue and has had excuses on 2 of 3 starts since. Down slightly in grade returned to 5f.
|
Course winner and also successful at Windsor in June. Hasn't been seen to best effect on 3 of 4 starts since and now on last winning mark returned to minimum trip.
|
Winner of small-field handicaps at Chepstow and Salisbury this summer. Another good run when second of 11 at Sandown and also third past the post at Windsor latest (demoted to fourth after drifting late on).
|
Bordering on useful as a 2-y-o, best effort when second in listed race at Sandown. Well held next 3 starts and July's reappearance fitted with a visor was hardly brimming with promise. This will reveal more.
|
Stylish winner of a 5-runner C&D handicap in June but hasn't built on that as expected since, weakening out of things at Windsor 3 weeks ago.
|
Displayed a willing attitude for latest success at Sandown in July. Consistency isn't his strong suit and has failed to back that up twice since, albeit he was pitched in quite deep last time.
|
Capitalised on drop in grade when making all at Salisbury (5f) in June. Exploits mixed subsequently, though it's easy to excuse latest Chester run without headgear as he stumbled at the start.
|
Built on comeback run to chase home a progressive pair when third of 7 in handicap at Haydock in July. Still lightly raced so no surprise were there a bigger performance in the locker.
|
Turned a Chepstow handicap into a one-sided affair in June and cast aside a lesser run when making all in 4-runner contest at Salisbury last month. Up 5 lb and dominating that field won't be as easy but she's clearly in cracking nick.
|
Made most of good opportunity when winning 4-runner maiden at Yarmouth (5.2f, soft) in May. Off since and has left John & Thady Gosden but has at least joined another successful stable.
|
Won Wolverhampton maiden in March but ran no sort of race when last seen in June and others look better treated unless a wind op has done the job.
|
Reacted well to a visor when successful at Chepstow last month. Struggled under a penalty when 6 lengths eighth of 11 to Firenze Rosa in 6f handicap here a week later and this is a deeper race.

Forecasts
Glamorous Breeze (4/1), Trusty Rusty (5/1), Lihou (11/2), Dream Composer (7/1), Mr Beaufort (10/1), Secret Handsheikh (11/1), Indian Creak (11/1), Rum Cocktail (12/1), Glamorous Express (12/1), Dream By Day (12/1), Recon Mission (25/1), Little Earl (50/1)
Competitive stuff with INDIAN CREEK just about the most persuasive option given he's had excuses on several occasions since winning at Windsor in June and is now back on that successful mark. Glamorous Breeze continues in good heart and is a danger, while Dream By Day may yet have more to offer for new connections.
