Won the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon for Tracy Waggott last summer and took his form to a new level when landing Ascot handicap for new yard in July. Smart effort when close third in Portland here last month but below par both starts since.
|
Four wins from 12 runs this year and is ending the season on a roll, career best when winning 9-runner handicap (11/2) at Catterick (5f, heavy) 7 days ago by short head from Glorious Angel, just holding on. 3 lb rise may prove enough to prevent the hat-trick, though.
|
Dual winner for Keith Dalgleish in June and took his form to another level for his new yard with further success over C&D and in Stewards' Cup (heavy) at Goodwood. Form has dipped off of late but is proven under conditions and is back on a decent mark.
|
Useful at 2 yrs who caused a surprise when winner of the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot last summer. No show in 3 starts this term, though, so plenty to prove.
|
Winner at Newbury in August and confirmed himself still on the upgrade when resuming winning ways at Nottingham (5f, soft) 10 days ago with a bit in hand. Must be respected.
|
Won the Portland here last season off similar mark and picked up wins at Chester and Ascot last month. Not seen to best effect last 2 starts but ground is a slight concern.
|
Completed hat-trick on the AW in January and came close to ending losing run the last twice, short-head second of 9 to Vintage Clarets in handicap (17/2) at Catterick (5f, heavy) last week, just failing. Player.
|
Back-to-back wins at Haydock (heavy)/Chepstow in August. Mixed record off revised mark since, 2 lengths fourth of 9 to Vintage Clarets in handicap at Catterick (5f, heavy, 10/3) 7 days ago.
|
Veteran who picked up another win at York in July before defying a penalty at Pontefract a week later. Last 3 starts suggests he has gone off the boil, however.
|
Creditable 1½ lengths third of 9 to Vintage Clarets in handicap (16/1) at Catterick (5f, heavy) 7 days ago but up against from 4 lb out of the handicap here.

Aberama Gold (9/2), Manila Scouse (5/1), Intrinsic Bond (5/1), Vintage Clarets (11/2), Glorious Angel (6/1), Desperate Hero (13/2), Abduction (8/1), Call Me Ginger (12/1), Count D'Orsay (16/1), Copper Knight (25/1), The Ridler (28/1)
Competitive stuff but ABERAMA GOLD won the Stewards' Cup off 1 lb lower under similar conditions so is taken to bounce back. Improving 3-y-os Desperate Hero and Glorious Angel head the dangers.
