Creditable third of 11 in handicap at Redcar (10f, good to soft, 9/1) 23 days ago, running on. Leading claims off the same mark.
|
Temperamental sort. Nineteen runs since last win in 2020. Creditable sixth of 14 in handicap at this course (8f, 12/1) 6 days ago, slowly away. Back up in trip and likely to find a few too good.
|
Last of 8 in handicap (28/1) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 21 days ago. Chance on old form but clearly needs to bounce back in a significant way.
|
C&D winner. 12/1, below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Ffos Las (10f, good to soft) 29 days ago, slowly away. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.
|
Remains a maiden after 28 Flat runs. Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap (13/2) at Chelmsford City (10f) 18 days ago, left with too much to do. Capable of a bold show.
|
Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 12 in minor event at Chelmsford City (8f, 150/1). Off 158 days. Back up in trip and sports first-time blinkers on this handicap debut.
|
Career best when winning 12-runner handicap (7/2) at this C&D 28 days ago. 3 lb rise fair enough and he's high on the shortlist.
|
Good second of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 3/1) 14 days ago. Still has low mileage and a reproduction of that effort would put him in the picture.
|
Thrice-raced maiden. 100/1, seventh of 10 in minor event at Chester (7.6f, good to soft) 30 days ago, slowly away. Significantly up in trip for this handicap debut and big step forward needed.
|
Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 10 in handicap (13/2) at Southwell (8.1f) 32 days ago, slowly away. Up in trip and he's probably best watched for now.
|
Winner at Musselburgh in July. 9/2, seventh of 9 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, heavy) 18 days ago. Significantly up in trip and needs a couple of these to falter.
|
40/1, good sixth of 12 in handicap at this course (8f) 24 days ago, not clear run. Up in trip and no more than an each-way squeak.

Forecasts
Wolf Of Oxshott (9/4), Berry Edge (10/3), Hildenley (7/2), Golden Valour (11/2), Thunder Gap (14/1), Mzahem (14/1), Baltic Baron (16/1), Starfighter (28/1), Bobby Shaftoe (40/1), Van Zant (40/1), Hooflepuff (66/1), Another Quirke (150/1)
HILDENLEY has progressed returned to this surface the last twice, latterly landing a similar C&D handicap in decisive fashion. It's unlikely that a 3 lb rise will be enough to prevent him from going in again and he get the nod ahead of Berry Edge, who will be a big threat if able to reproduce the level of form he has shown on turf in recent months. Wolf of Oxshott and longstanding-maiden Baltic Baron can do battle for minor honours.
