Latest win at Windsor in July. Good second of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 3/1) 30 days ago. 2 lb nudge fair enough and, provided he takes to tapeta, another bold show could be on the way.
|
Didn't need to be at best when winning 10-runner novice at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 2/11) 25 days ago. That was a straightforward assignment but he nevertheless did the job well and merits respect back in handicap company.
|
Three wins from 7 runs last year. Latest win at Kempton in November. Tenth of 12 in handicap (11/2) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 31 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Others preferred.
|
C&D winner. Five wins from 20 runs last year. Latest win here in October. 8/1, fourth of 6 in handicap at Chelmsford (7f) 15 days ago. Looks vulnerable.
|
Three wins from 12 runs last year. Latest win at Ascot in July. Eighth of 9 in handicap at Sandown (7f, soft, 12/1). Off 112 days and he's likely to find a few of these too strong.
|
Creditable third of 11 in handicap (4/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 12 days ago. Every inch a leading candidate off the same mark here.
|
Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. 6/1, good second of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 22 days ago. Still relatively unexposed on the AW and likely to be on the premises.
|
Lightly-raced winner. Fitted with a first-time tongue strap (retained here) when fifth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford (6f, 40/1) 22 days ago, not ideally placed. Entitled to come on for that and the return to this trip look a good move.
|
Creditable fourth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (5/1) 20 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Now 1 lb lower and he's one for the shortlist.
|
C&D winner. 40/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at this C&D 15 days ago. Given a chance by the handicapper but it's easy enough to look elsewhere all the same.
|
Two wins from 6 runs last year. First run since leaving K. R. Burke when landing a 9-runner handicap (15/2) at this C&D 21 days ago, keeping on well. This is tougher up 4 lb but couldn't rule out all the same.
|
Three wins from 10 runs last year. 16/1, won 13-runner handicap at Chelmsford (7f) 29 days ago, just holding on. 2 lb nudge fair enough but this looks more demanding.

Forecasts
Palmar Bay (9/4), Lattaash (18/5), Ziggy's Condor (9/2), So Quiet (6/1), Federal Envoy (11/1), Newsreader (12/1), Judgment Call (14/1), Beauty Choice (22/1), Perennial (28/1), Billy Mill (28/1), How Impressive (28/1), Legal Reform (40/1)
Not many of these can be safely discounted. PERENNIAL is interesting on the back of an encouraging all-weather/stable debut over 6f at Chelmsford last month and he looks just the type to do well for the shrewd Stuart Williams yard. So Quiet shaped well on his first run here last month and he is second choice ahead of Lattaash, Judgment Call and Ziggy's Condor.
