Latest win at Salisbury in September. 16/1, below form eighth of 13 in handicap at Salisbury (6f, heavy) 36 days ago. Good strike rate on the AW (8-30) and may well bounce back with a bold show.
|
Creditable third of 12 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good, 28/1) 48 days ago. Makes tapeta debut on first run for yard after leaving Tim Easterby. Each-way chance.
|
17/2, last of 10 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 25 days ago. Excuses on that occasion, but improvement needed now switched to this surface in any case.
|
Winner at Doncaster in May. 50/1, first run since leaving John & Thady Gosden when last of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 17 days ago. Opposable on the back of that low-key display.
|
Latest win at Pontefract in July. Respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Redcar (5f, heavy, 6/1) 21 days ago. Remains 7 lb above last winning mark and may find one or two too good.
|
C&D winner. 3 wins from 15 runs this year. Latest win at Hamilton in July. Creditable third of 11 in handicap (22/1) at this course (7.1f) 21 days ago. This calls for a career-best, but couldn't rule out all the same.
|
Winner at Catterick in October. 6/4, creditable second of 11 in handicap at Redcar (5f, heavy) 21 days ago. 0-3 on AW, but wasn't beaten far at Newcastle on penultimate start and she's a key player.
|
Lightly-raced maiden. 2/1, first run since leaving Clive Cox when respectable third of 8 in minor event at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 15 days ago. Improvement needed now that he goes down the handicap route.
|
C&D winner last month. 9/2, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Redcar (6f, heavy) 21 days ago. Place possibilities.
|
Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. 7/2, creditable second of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, soft) 23 days ago. That presented a step back in the right direction and shouldn't be far away if taking to this surface.

Forecasts
So Grateful (7/2), Manigordo (11/2), Object (11/2), Trabajo Detecho (13/2), Kats Bob (13/2), Rock Opera (8/1), Desert Doctor (17/2), Woobay (9/1), Kaidu (16/1), Dark Kestrel (66/1)
The vote goes to DESERT DOCTOR, who scored under Molly Stratton on his penultimate start at Salisbury and, though 8 lb above that winning mark here, he's actually 10 lb lower than when sixth of 11 in a Class 2 event on his latest run on the all-weather in July 2022. Woobay has proved largely consistent this year and she should be on the premises once again, while Manigordo makes each-way appeal on debut for new yard following a creditable effort at Ayr last time.
- Desert Doctor17/2
- Woobay9/1
- Manigordo11/2
