Stepped up on reappearance run when second of 12 in handicap (6/1) at this C&D 16 days ago, despite having met some trouble. Remains early days for current yard and he can go one better.
|
Shaped better than result when fourth of 5 in handicap (9/4) at Brighton (9.9f, good to firm) in June, needing stronger gallop. Consistent type and he can give his running again after a break.
|
Not in the same form as previous outing when sixth of 8 in handicap (7/1) at this C&D a week ago, though short of room 2f out. Could fare better having dropped to 2 lb below her last winning mark.
|
Lesser efforts on his last 2 starts, eighth of 14 in handicap (25/1) at Kempton (1m) 17 days ago. On a workable mark if application of blinkers can help spark a return to form.
|
Recorded back-to-back wins at Wolverhampton and Nottingham in June. Has returned to form last 2 starts, fourth of 12 in handicap (4/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 12 days ago. Can be thereabouts once more.
|
In first-time visor, run best excused when sixth of 10 in handicap (14/1) at this course (7f) 16 days ago, meeting trouble on more than one occasion. However, had been struggling for form prior to her latest outing.
|
Successful here (7f) in September and has continued in good form since, third of 10 in handicap over C&D (3/1) 3 weeks ago. Can make his present felt.
|
Won juvenile hurdle at Fontwell on penultimate start but pulled up at Wincanton (15.2f, soft, 16/1) 6 days ago. Best form on Flat has come on the all-weather, but he's still looking for his first win in this sphere.
|
After 17 months off, below form when ninth of 14 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 16/1) 24 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Forecasts
Mitigator (15/8), Kodi Noir (4/1), Cariad (9/2), Mr Trick (5/1), Storm Asset (7/1), Deed Pole (18/1), Safe Passage (25/1), Star Map (40/1), Kilcummin (100/1)
MITIGATOR left his seasonal/stable debut run behind when second at this C&D 16 days ago, despite having been short of room entering the straight, and he can build on that effort to return to winning ways. Kodi Noir is going through a good spell at present and is feared most, ahead of Storm Asset.
