Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. Again very slowly away when fourth of 7 in handicap at Goodwood (5f, heavy, 12/1) 18 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Needs to break on terms if he's to take advantage of his falling mark.
|
C&D winner. Stepped up on recent run when fifth of 12 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to soft, 9/1) 12 days ago, nearest finish. Can make his presence felt having eased further in the weights.
|
After 9 weeks off, shaped as if needing the outing on first run since leaving Ed Walker when eighth of 17 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good, 16/1) 25 days ago. Others more persuasive as he makes tapeta debut.
|
Ended long losing run in 6-runner handicap at Brighton (6f, good, 10/3) 10 days ago by 4½ lengths from Mamillius. Remains on a workable mark under a penalty, but task is to be able to back up his latest effort.
|
Never a threat when seventh of 11 in handicap at Chester (5.5f, good to soft, 16/1) 11 days ago, again slowly into stride. Makes tapeta debut. Capable of getting involved if he can cut out the slow starts.
|
Found it tougher upped in grade when ninth of 13 in Racing League handicap at Newcastle (5f, 28/1) 13 days ago. Bounce back called for as he returns to this longer trip.
|
Successful at Lingfield in May. After a couple of below-par efforts, back to form when 4½ lengths second of 6 to Tolstoy in handicap at Brighton (6f, good, 14/1) 10 days ago, no match for the reopposing winner. Others look stronger.
|
Ran creditably when 2¼ lengths fifth of 13 to the reopposing Nordic Passage in Racing League handicap (40/1) at Newcastle (6f) 13 days ago. Has something to find to gain a first win of the year.
|
Confirmed previous promise when getting back to winning ways in 13-runner Racing League handicap (8/1) at Newcastle (6f) 13 days ago, readily. Remains well treated on old form and he can score again.
|
Eleven runs since last win in 2022. However, has been in good form of late, second of 11 in handicap at Goodwood (6f, good to firm, 11/2) 8 days ago. Enters calculations as he makes his tapeta debut.
|
Made a winning debut at Doncaster in July. Failed to progress sent handicapping when fifth of 7 at Nottingham (6.1f, good to soft, 11/2) 29 days ago. However, it still remains early days so he could yet do better.
|
Bounced back to form when winning 11-runner handicap (9/1) at Carlisle (5f, good) 12 days ago. Won off this mark earlier in the season, so he's not discounted as he goes back up in trip.
|
In first-time cheekpieces, again ran well when fourth of 6 in handicap at Bath (5f, good to soft, 2/1) 25 days ago. Can give another good account with return to this longer trip to suit.
|
Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Below form last 2 starts, tenth of 11 in handicap at Chester (5.5f, good to soft, 20/1) 11 days ago. Needs to get back on track.

Forecasts
Nordic Passage (4/1), Gulliver (6/1), Fierce (7/1), Tolstoy (15/2), Dare To Hope (17/2), Hierarchy (10/1), Jordan Electrics (11/1), Amazonian Dream (11/1), Billyjoh (14/1), Antiphon (14/1), King Of Tonga (14/1), Tyger Bay (16/1), American Star (28/1), Mamillius (80/1)
NORDIC PASSAGE returned to winning ways in good style when landing a Racing League event at Newcastle 13 days ago, impressing with how he travelled through the race, so he is taken to follow up in his current form. Gulliver lurks on a dangerous mark and is feared most, while Amazonian Dream and Fierce both arrive in good heart and can be thereabouts once more.
- Gulliver6/1
- Amazonian Dream11/1
