Signs of ability in maiden/novice company and has predictably raised his game switched to handicaps the last twice, latterly finishing third of 13 with Alice Stevens aboard at Chepstow (19.4f, good to soft) in April. Drop back in trip could be a good move and he's a must for the shortlist.
|
Showed a fair level of ability when third on first of 2 runs in bumpers. Little to shout about in his qualifying runs in this sphere but it's not hard to envisage this 5-y-o taking a step forward now pitched into a handicap.
|
Yet to win but generally consistent so probably worth forgiving his latest remote third of 4 over fences at Bangor when last seen in March. Resumes in this sphere back from a break on a workable mark and should make his presence felt.
|
Latest success was gained off 2 lb higher mark at Newton Abbot last September and shaped as though his turn may again be near when placed in handicaps at that course and over 18.7f here in July. Latest effort back at Newton Abbot was poor (reportedly lost his action) but fighting chance if on-song.
|
Appeared to improve a touch when runner-up on second start for this yard here in March but subsequent handicap debut back at this venue the following month lacked spark. Now tried in a tongue strap.
|
Won over 17f at Sedgefield for David Thompson in January and has made the frame on 2 of his 3 completed starts since switched to present yard. Not without each-way hope but yard fields a more intriguing candidate in the shape of handicap debutant Mount Washington.
|
Bumper winner who produced just about her best effort yet over jumps when finding just one too good in a 15.8f Uttoxeter handicap hurdle on latest start in July. Changed hands since and by no means certain to build on that but she will be a threat if able to do so.
|
Wasn't beaten far when fifth in an 8-runner Ludlow handicap (15.8f, heavy) on final run of last season but record stands at 0-10 over hurdles and it's hard to be sure what his optimum trip is.
|
Poor on Flat nowadays and, having offered little over hurdles so far, he's 14 lb 'wrong' at the weights for his handicap debut in this sphere.

Forecasts
Night Jet (3/1), Fresh Speculation (10/3), One Last Glance (9/2), Mount Washington (15/2), Coup De Gold (8/1), Raise Your Glass (17/2), Good Impression (9/1), Dreaming Diamond (28/1), Straitouttacompton (50/1)
The vote goes to FRESH SPECULATION, who shaped as though the drop back to this trip would be in his favour when third at Chepstow on his final appearance of last season. He resumes on the same mark and, with just a handful of runs under his belt, this 6-y-o's best days are surely still ahead of him. One Last Glance is second choice ahead of potential improver Mount Washington, while Good Impression will also be a threat if he puts his best foot forward.
