Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 18/1, shaped as if better for the run on the back of 4 months off when seventh of 14 in handicap at this C&D 23 days ago, weakening final 1f. One to keep an eye from steadily easing mark.

Lightly-raced maiden. Ninth of 14 in handicap at this course (10.7f, 33/1) 7 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Application of blinkers needs to bring about an upturn now.

11/2

Creditable eighth of 14 in handicap (15/2) at this course (10.7f) 9 days ago, dropping away final 1f. That was his best effort since the spring and he comes here operating from career-low mark.

SPINNING WEB has made more of an impact over hurdles/on the Flat during the second half of this year, again running with credit when fifth in a big-field Navan handicap over further 37 days ago. He can make a bold bid to defy his basement mark back down in trip, with Gracesolution heading up the dangers. Clever Currency and Firm Belief are others to consider.
