Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1, last of 8 in handicap at Epsom (10.1f, good to firm) in July, racing well off the pace and beaten halfway. Absent/had wind op subsequently and interesting what the market makes of him now equipped with a first-time hood.
|
Gained reward for string of consistent efforts when shedding maiden tag at Carlisle (9f) in July. Below best towards the end of last term but returns with yard amongst the winners and not discounted on back of 6 months off in a very ordinary affair.
|
Two wins from 41 Flat runs. 15/2, bit below form sixth of 14 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, soft) 7 days ago, finding test too much. Better showing anticipated back on AW but his losing run is understandably a concern.
|
C&D winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. Ninth of 14 in handicap (10/1) at Bath (8f, soft) 7 days ago, paying late on in the conditions for her early exertions. Better showing not ruled out returned to AW.
|
Creditable 2¼ lengths sixth of 13 to Spirit of Bowland in handicap (15/2) at Newcastle (7.1f) 14 days ago. Claims of hitting the frame judged on balance of his form on AW in recent months.
|
Unreliable type. C&D winner who is going through a good spell, creditable third of 8 in handicap at this C&D (4/1) 10 days ago. However, losing run stretches back to 2020 which tempers enthusiasm.
|
Unreliable sort. Twenty one runs since last win in 2022. Eighth of 12 in minor event at Lingfield (8f, AW, 9/1) 18 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Cheekpieces back on.
|
Career best when winning 13-runner handicap (14/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 14 days ago, driven out. Expected to be bang there.
|
Off the mark at first attempt for this yard at Salisbury (1m) last July and not disgraced when beaten just over 2 lengths in seventh at Windsor the following month. However, well beaten at Carlisle final start and returns from 7 months off now.
|
28/1, creditable fifth of 12 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 17 days ago, headway out wide home turn and keeping on. However, she still needs to prove her effectiveness over this trip.
|
15/2, respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at this course (7.1f) in December, headway approaching final 1f and keeping on. Return to 1m a likely plus and she comes here operating from career-low mark.
|
Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Bit below form eighth of 13 in handicap (11/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 38 days ago, plenty to do 2f out and making late headway.
|
33/1, last of 8 in minor event at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 41 days ago, racing freely and weakening 1f out. Needs to step up plenty if she's to open her account returned to handicaps.

Ebury (9/2), Spirit Of Bowland (5/1), How Bizarre (5/1), Non Mollare (11/2), Bold And Loyal (7/1), Hostelry (10/1), Egoiste (12/1), Fast Danseuse (12/1), Catch My Breath (14/1), Lucky Lucky Lucky (22/1), Cheese The One (33/1), Faithless Insomnia (33/1), Millicent (40/1), Salve Japan (66/1)
SPIRIT OF BOWLAND confirmed the promise he'd shown from basement marks last year when opening his account at Newcastle (7f) 2 weeks ago and, despite a tricky draw, he could well be up to building on that given he remains relatively low-mileage compared to most here. Hostelry is feared, with Non Mollare and Fast Danseuse others to consider. Egoiste requires a market check back from an absence/following wind surgery.
- Hostelry10/1
- Non Mollare11/2
