Landed a 1m AW novice last autumn prior to a good second from this mark on handicap debut at Newcastle (10f) in December. Not seen to best effect either start thereafter and he returns to action for new connections now. Market should guide.
|
Successful 3 times this year, latterly from 3 lb lower over C&D in September. Not in the same form when eighth of 10 in handicap (20/1) at Chelmsford (14f) 25 days ago and he may just prove vulnerable to a few again here.
|
12/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 16 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.
|
AW maiden winner in France. Winless in 6 starts in Britain for Ivan Furtado and he's been well below his best both starts on turf for new yard in recent weeks. Return to AW needs to have positive effect now.
|
AW winner (over 10f) who arrives here having very much caught the eye when fourth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 16 days ago, no room from over 2f out and finishing with running left. Of definite interest on the back of that.
|
Thrice-raced maiden. 125/1, sixth of 9 in minor event at this course (8.1f) 19 days ago, well positioned and carrying head a shade awkwardly. Entitled to hold more chance now handicapping/upped considerably in trip.
|
Seventh of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 12/1) 18 days ago. Up in trip. Needs a couple of these to falter.
|
Maiden who acquitted herself with credit in handicaps at up to 10f during the summer. Had excuses on account of the soft ground at Thirsk (1m, soft) when last seen in September and she's not dismissed starting out for new yard up in trip.
|
Maiden who ran below best when seventh of 10 in handicap at Kempton (11f, 13/2) 29 days ago, weakening from 2f out. Still, mark has eased a little more and worth noting if the market speaks in her favour.
|
Latest win at Hamilton in September. 18/1, creditable third of 14 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy) 21 days ago. Claims of being in the mix again from this sort of mark with a repeat.
|
Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap (11/1) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 30 days ago, running on. First run for yard after leaving William Haggas and she's less exposed than most she meets here.
|
Three-time winner for Gary Moore who has been absent since finishing second in 10-runner Wolverhampton handicap back in spring 2021. Cheekpieces replace blinkers and market should prove a useful guide on belated return.
|
Unreliable type. C&D winner. Two wins from 42 Flat runs. 5/1, bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford (14f) 20 days ago, weakening final 1f. Each-way possibilities.
|
Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 9 in handicap (150/1) at Newcastle (12.4f) 29 days ago, effort over 3f out and folding soon after. Hard to warm to on what she's shown for current yard.

Forecasts
Western Beat (15/8), Haku (6/1), Lawmans Blis (6/1), Bristol Hill (13/2), Eleven Eleven (17/2), Hammy End (10/1), Drill To Dream (12/1), Central City (20/1), Selecto (20/1), Control (28/1), Foursome (50/1), Wotya Macallit (66/1), Bateau Bay (80/1), King Athelstan (80/1)
WESTERN BEAT very much caught the eye and marked herself down as one to be interested in when fourth over this sort of trip at Wolverhampton 16 days ago, short of room from over 2f out and finishing with running left. On a handy mark, she gets the nod to come out on top, with Foursome, Eleven Eleven and Selecto heading up the dangers. Control is also worth monitoring if the market speaks in her favour.
