Posted best effort in a while on second run after wind surgery when runner-up in a handicap at Lingfield 11 days ago (racing from out of the handicap in a Class 4 event). Back down in grade today and entitled to run well again.

Latest win at Windsor in August. Decent effort when second of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 3/1) 20 days ago, having been well-backed. One for the shortlist.

Hooded for 1st time, first run since leaving Paul Midgley when creditable fourth of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 15/2) but was below form when upped to 7f (sixth of 11) at Wolverhampton 4 days ago. Visor on and back to 6f which may see him in a better light.

Course winner who was successful at Lingfield on penultimate run, making all. Similar tactics were less successful when ninth here (6f) 23 days ago, not helped by being drawn out wide. Expected to bounce back today.

Cheekpieces on for first time, eighth of 11 in handicap (100/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 4 days ago. Visor replaces cheekpieces today but others preferred.

6/4
In good form, winning at Newcastle (6f) last month before respectable third of 12 in handicap (85/40) at the same venue (6f) just 5 days later. Usually tracks the pace, and there should be plenty on here. Leading player with top jockey aboard.

C&D winner. Latest win in August. Seventh of 10 in a handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 7 days ago and has a bit to find on that evidence.

C&D winner was below form sixth of 10 in a handicap at Southwell (7.1f) back in December 2023. Returns from 13-month absence today and others preferred.

Poor gelding. Bit below form fourth of 12 in a minor event at Southwell (6.1f, 18/1) 8 days ago. Hood back on today but looks vulnerable.

Won over C&D two days ago, scoring by a head. Not penalised and can go well again off a quick turnaround.

Creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 7 days ago, on first run for yard after leaving Michael Appleby. Easy to back and probably needed the run, so entitled to strip fitter here wearing first-time eyeshields. Races from 1 lb out of the handicap.

Forecasts

Cut To The Chase (6/4), Nordic Glory (9/2), Lord Danielson (5/1), Silky Robin (15/2), Poetic Jack (10/1), Fantasy Navigator (11/1), Fai Fai (16/1), Due Date (25/1), Barnsnape Boy (28/1), Champagne Supanova (40/1), Salaamaat (100/1)

Verdict

CUT TO THE CHASE remains unexposed as a sprinter and can make it 2 wins from his last 3, continuing his yard's excellent run of form. Things didn't pan out for Poetic Jack last time and he can bounce back, while Nordic Glory should be in the mix once again.
