C&D winner on reappearance in April and followed up at Ascot 3 weeks later. 14/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Ascot (7f, good to soft) 36 days ago.
|
C&D winner in February. 6/1, below-par fifth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) in April. Off since and got to be a chance he'll need this.
|
Second Wolverhampton handicap win of the year when seeing off 5 rivals over 5f in July. Not in the same form when seventh of 9 at Lingfield (5f, AW) 28 days ago.
|
Latest win at Chester in August. 13/2, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap back at Chester (5.5f, soft) 21 days ago, worst of draw. Has fared with the draw this time.
|
Fairly useful form. Shaped well in a 7f Newbury handicap prior to easily making all in a 6f Redcar novice last month. Unexposed as a sprinter. Player.
|
Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Kempton (6f, 7/2) 45 days ago, coming from last to first in the style of one who could have more to offer as an AW sprinter.
|
Latest win at Newmarket in August. 9/1, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good) 21 days ago. Makes polytrack debut.
|
First run since leaving Kevin Philippart De Foy when eleventh of 12 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 17 days ago, fading after pulling too hard in front. The return to drop back to sprinting looks the right move.
|
Won at Catterick (7f) in April and mostly creditable efforts since, including second of 6 in claimer at Wolverhampton (6f) 33 days ago.

Forecasts
Nemov (11/8), American Bay (9/4), Jimmy Speaking (13/2), Crimson Sand (16/1), Invincible Speed (16/1), Balon D'or (18/1), Tsunami Spirit (18/1), Spring Bloom (28/1), Bowman (33/1)
There was a lot to like about the way NEMOV went about things back sprinting at Kempton last time and he's selected to make light of a rise in the weights, perhaps at the main expense of fellow 3-y-os American Bay and Balon d'Or.
- Nemov11/8
- American Bay9/4
- Balon D'or18/1
