12/1

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Joe Leavy⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 82| CD

11/8

Winner of 3 of his last 4 starts. including a career best when landing an 8-runner handicap at this course (8.6f) 7 days ago, edging out a similarly thriving rival. Carries a 5 lb penalty but remains one to be interested in over slightly longer trip.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: David Probert| T: Ian Williams| OR: 84| CD

16/1

Record of 2-4 when trained by Charlie Appleby (both on AW, including over this course) but hasn't progressed in couple of starts for this yard, seventh of 12 in handicap at this course (8.6f) 23 days ago. Lightly-raced sort drops in grade and isn't totally dismissed.

12/1

Given a considerate introduction to life in the U.K. when eighth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) on first run since leaving Doug Watson 18 days ago. One to note in the betting on second start for this yard.

14/1

Son Of Man²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Paddy Bradley| T: J R Boyle| OR: 83

11/2

Eleven runs since last win in 2023 but offered something to work with (after 4 months off) when creditable third of 10 in handicap at this C&D 23 days ago. Merits respect on the back of that effort, now racing off a career-low mark.

Form: 08766-3

20/1

Fairly useful on the Flat but without a win since 2020 in this sphere. Fourth of 7 in handicap at Kempton (12f) 26 days ago. Down in trip/grade and has each-way claims from this mark.
