4 wins from 8 runs this year. Twenty ninth of 34 in Cambridgeshire Handicap (100/1) at Newmarket (9f, good to firm) 77 days ago. Back down in trip. First run for yard after leaving Peter Chapple-Hyam.
|
Latest win at Thirsk in September but wasn't in the same form (6/1) at this course (6f) 43 days ago. Bounce back required.
|
C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Eighth of 10 in handicap (4/1) at Chelmsford City (8f) 35 days ago.
|
C&D winner. 10/3, respectable second of 7 in handicap at this course (8f). Off 169 days. Now below last winning mark and has run well fresh in the past. Interesting.
|
Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Creditable third of 11 in handicap at this course (6f, 20/1) 7 days ago, running on late. Blinkers back on.
|
Bounced back to best in first-time cheekpieces when winning 12-runner handicap at this C&D 8 days ago. Not taken lightly in follow-up bid.
|
C&D winner in September but couldn't match that form back here in October.
|
Course winner. 3 wins from 12 runs this year. Latest win at Catterick in August. 9/1, last of 10 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good) 77 days ago. 11lb higher back on all-weather now.
|
Course winner who failed to come on for recent run when ninth of 12 in handicap at this course (8f) 8 days ago. Others preferred.
|
11/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, good neck third of 12 to Kalganov in handicap at this C&D 8 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Expected to be bang there again.
|
3 wins from 15 runs this year but operating below best at present, only 6¾ lengths seventh of 12 to Kalganov in handicap at this C&D (20/1) 8 days ago. Seems to be in a lull for now.
|
Course winner. 3 wins from 16 runs this year. Latest win at Carlisle in September. 10/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at this course (8f) 8 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Better judged on previous form.

Forecasts
The Turpinator (9/2), Bowood (9/2), Larado (5/1), Kalganov (13/2), Swiss Ace (17/2), Illusionist (9/1), Abruzzo Mia (12/1), Wildfell (14/1), Showmedemoney (18/1), One More Dream (20/1), Surprise Picture (25/1), Alexander James (40/1)
BOWOOD has displayed the odd quirk or 2, but he fared best of those ridden close up in a strongly-run handicap won by Kalganov over C&D last week and looks to have a solid chance from only 1 lb higher. Kalganov heads up the opposition along with Swiss Ace, who's interesting returning from a break having gone well fresh in the past.
