Showed a good attitude when bagging his third victory of the year at Lingfield (12f) last month. Not disgraced when fifth of 7 in handicap (6/1) at Wolverhampton (14f) 28 days ago but return to this sort of trip rates a likely plus.
|
Gained his fourth career victory (all on all-weather) back from 9 months off at Chelmsford (10f) in April. Exploits have been mixed in handful of outings since, but his mark has eased as a result and he's an interesting runner returned to a synthetic surface.
|
Successful in handicaps at Yarmouth/Lingfield this summer and he comes here on the back of a creditable fourth of 9 in handicap (7/2) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 19 days ago, staying on gradually. Remains unexposed at this sort of trip.
|
Winner at Doncaster in April. Hooded for 1st time, creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (50/1) 25 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Possible she could yet have more to offer now she's back on track.
|
Progressed from a low base earlier this term, making it 3 wins from her last 4 starts when taking 5-runner handicap at this course (14.1f) back in July. Merits consideration again despite career-high mark.
|
Course winner. Below form third of 6 in handicap at this course (14.1f, 17/2) 28 days ago, left behind from 2f out. Remains 2 lb above last winning mark dropping back down in trip.
|
C&D winner. 9/1, creditable second of 9 in handicap at this C&D 37 days ago, headway under pressure over 1f out and keeping on. Not ruled out from unchanged mark for all that effort suggested she may be worth a try back over further. Cheekpieces on 1st time.

Forecasts
Obsidian Knight (11/4), Sugarloaf Lenny (7/2), Raintown (5/1), Dance Time (5/1), Eagle's Realm (15/2), Sun Dancer Girl (9/1), Cherry Burton (12/1)
An open looking handicap with a chance taken on OBSIDIAN KNIGHT. His exploits have been mixed in recent months yet he returns to an artificial surface lurking on a handy mark and his most recent effort at Windsor is best ignored in isolation. Sugarloaf Lenny and Sun Dancer Girl, who was thriving when last seen, are others to consider.
