Won on debut for this yard (good 5f event at the 2021 Craven Meeting). Little to write home about since (trained in Ireland last year) but interesting to see him back under the care of George Boughey. One to note equipped with a hood.

C&D winner. Seventh of 8 in handicap (9/1) at this course (7f) 21 days ago, effort when hampered over 1f out. No surprise to see a better showing and his mark is steadily easing.
|
Proved determined when off the mark (in first-time cheekpieces) at Brighton (6f) in July. Not disgraced final 2 starts last year and, having been gelded he returned with a good third in 9-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) 4 weeks ago. May come forward from that.
|
3-time C&D winner. 10/3, respectable third of 8 in handicap at this course (5f) 14 days ago, forced to switch inside final 1f and plugging on. Booking of Marquand catches the eye but he remains 3 lb above his last winning mark.
|
Still relatively lightly raced and she proved at least as good as ever when scoring on the back of 6 months off over 7f here 3 weeks ago, travelling well and quickening over 1f out. 6 lb higher now but she could well have more to offer on that evidence.
|
C&D winner. 40/1 and visored for 1st time, won 7-runner handicap at Kempton (6f) 29 days ago, the fitting of a first-time visor seemingly the catalyst. However, she doesn't look an obvious follow-up candidate on balance.
|
C&D winner. 28/1, made it 2 wins from last 3 starts when landing 11-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 2 days ago, suited by strong pace. Clearly in good heart and another who can't be ruled out.

Forecasts
Anificas Beauty (5/2), Araifjan (7/2), Forca Brasil (9/2), Epic Express (5/1), Jumira Bridge (11/2), Almodovar Del Rio (8/1), Company Minx (40/1)
ANIFICAS BEAUTY proved as good as ever when making a winning return from 6 months off over further here 3 weeks ago and the manner of that success suggests she could well have more to offer moving forward. Forca Brasil (non runner at Brighton on Wednesday) is an intriguing contender back in the care of George Boughey and is feared, with Almodovar del Rio also shortlisted.
