Won 4 times at this course in 2023. Stepped up on recent outing when third of 7 in handicap at Southwell (16.5f, 10/3) 22 days ago, despite having been very slowly away. Merits consideration back here.
|
Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. Runner-up at Lingfield in December but not in the same form both starts since, last of 7 in handicap at Southwell (16.5f, 14/1) 2 weeks ago. Visor back on.
|
Latest win at Haydock in September. In first-time visor, ran creditably when third of 11 in handicap at Kempton (12f, 14/1) 24 days ago. Usual cheekpieces reapplied and he could be in the mix back down in grade.
|
Fair maiden on the Flat. Winner over hurdles since last seen on the level, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Fakenham (20f, soft, 7/2) on latest outing 10 days ago. Visor worn over jumps now retained.
|
Took advantage of drop in grade when successful at Wolverhampton (16.6f) in October. However, found it tougher under a penalty when fourth of 7 in handicap (6/1) at the same C&D 78 days ago. Has work to do.
|
With cheekpieces applied on first run since leaving Hilal Kobeissi, creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 10/3) 13 days ago. Has yet to win at further than 1m, though, as he moves back up in grade.
|
Making second handicap start, had the run of the race and ran up to best when third of 8 at Wolverhampton (14f, 9/2) 4 days ago. Task is now to build on his recent run.
|
Unbeaten in 3 starts for current yard, completing a C&D hat-trick when landing 11-runner handicap (4/5) 2 days ago. Scored with plenty in hand on Thursday and he's the one to beat under a penalty.
|
Both career wins at this course, with latest success over 2m in October. Again ran well when ½-length third of 8 to Carlton in handicap (11/4) at this C&D 30 days ago and he could be thereabouts once more.
|
Soon returned to form when finally getting off the mark in 8-runner handicap at Southwell (14.1f, 7/2) 13 days ago, seeing out the race well back down in trip. Will need to find more back up in grade.

Forecasts
Carlton (13/8), Tradesman (4/1), Sullivan Bay (6/1), Haliphon (7/1), Albert Lasker (9/1), Blue Sky Boy (10/1), Delta Legend (20/1), Addosh (33/1), Alright Sunshine (33/1), Star Legend (66/1)
CARLTON has thrived since joining the James Owen yard, overcoming a lack of pace in the race to complete a C&D hat-trick on Thursday, and he looks to hold leading claims under a penalty. Sullivan Bay also arrives in good heart and could be the main danger, with 4-time course winner Tradesman completing the shortlist.
