Chichester Observer Handyapp Handicap

Resumed winning ways in 10-runner handicap at Newbury (16.5f, good to firm) in July and far from disgraced when eighth in 18-runner event at Goodwood last time. Has left Syd Hosie and drops back in trip/grade.

Emphatic winner of a big-field handicap at Newbury (10f) last spring and runner-up on 3 occasions thereafter. Hasn't been firing this term, though.

Finally opened his account for this yard at Wolverhampton (14f) in March and got back on track when fifth at Ascot last time. Doesn't appear to have much in hand, so tongue tie will need to bring more out of him.

Useful performer in France who was successful 3 times in 2022. Yet to score in 8 attempts for current yard but has fallen in the weights and ran with credit on his last couple of outings. One to strongly consider.

Fair winner at 22f over hurdles and achieved plenty on the Flat in Germany. 8/1, won 6-runner handicap at Southwell on Flat debut wasn't in the same form there next time. 119-day break might have helped.

C&D winner. Latest win here in June. Second of 4 in handicap at Pontefract (17.1f, good, 4/1) 7 days ago. Booking of Oisin Murphy catches the eye and he ought to go close.

Five-time winner for William Jarvis who returned to action with an encouraging third for new yard at Epsom (12f) in April. Couldn't replicate that when fifth at Salisbury but quickly back on his game when third at Sandown 71 days ago. Eased further 1lb and has to be of serious interest.

Scored at Salisbury (12f) in May and creditable efforts on two of three subsequent outings, fourth at Haydock 50 days ago. May not have reached his limit and merits consideration.
