Reached a useful level when winning twice at 2 yrs. However, after a further 9 months off has struggled for form in handicaps this year, faring no better in first-time blinkers on his latest outing. Has enough to prove at present.
|
After 11 months off, ran creditably when third at Goodwood in May and took a step forward when returning to winning ways in 18-runner contest at this C&D 15 days later. Displayed a willing attitude with William Buick back on board last time, so he looks to hold leading claims.
|
Ended losing run at Lingfield (6f, AW) on second start for Tony Carroll in 2022 but his form has gone the wrong way since, finishing down the field on all 3 outings this year for his current yard. Looks to be up against it.
|
Off the mark at the second attempt in a Wolverhampton minor event (6f) back in October 2021. Progressed again when third back at the same C&D next time, but tailed off when last seen in December of that year. Off 18 months ahead of his turf/handicap debut.
|
Had little recent form to her name but bounced back to near her best when runner-up at Haydock 6 days ago, promising better still for much of the way. On a workable mark and she's respected with a good-value claimer on board.
|
Prolific in 2021 but failed to add to his tally in handicaps last year. Returned in good heart this season, making the frame on his first 2 starts before not ideally placed when mid-field at this C&D last month. Could bounce back in first-time tongue strap.
|
Ended lengthy losing run under a cool ride at Wolverhampton in December, suited by way the race developed. Stepped up on on his reappearance when fifth behind Showbiz at this C&D last month and he can give another good account.
|
Having dropped below her last winning mark, bounced back to form when recording a fourth course success at Bath (5f) in April, albeit having a perfect trip along the inside rail. Has been below that level all 3 starts since, so may just find others stronger.
|
Took advantage of a falling mark when opening his account in a Newmarket handicap (6f) last August and ran well when third at Kempton (7f) on his next outing. Probably needed the run after 6-month absence back at Kempton last time, but off a further 2 months since.

Forecasts
Shobiz (1/1), Capote's Dream (9/2), Magnificence (5/1), Treacherous (9/1), Strike (10/1), American Star (11/1), Sarah's Verse (40/1), Dakota Power (40/1), Jack's Point (50/1)
SHOBIZ produced his best effort when winning a competitive event at this C&D last month, rallying to lead again close home having had the worst of draw, and the 5-y-o can continue to go the right way for Charles Hills. He can follow up with William Buick again in the saddle, though Magnificence returned to form last time and is feared most, ahead of Treacherous.
- Shobiz1/1
