Showed promise when third at Bath (10/1) 101 days ago before unseating rider soon after start at this C&D (18/1) 93 days ago.
|
Confirmed return to form when 4th of 13 in handicap at Windsor (15/2) 24 days ago but without a win in 19 runs.
|
Goes particularly well at Chepstow with form figures of 3152 before latest success. Won readily by 3½ lengths in 13-runner handicap over C&D (17/2) 34 days ago, racing off the pace before leading over 1f out. Should go well again.
|
Has shown limited ability in 5 starts, finishing 10th of 11 in handicap at Haydock (66/1) 27 days ago when diving right at start and making no impression. Yet to show enough for an imminent breakthrough.
|
Poor form, 10th of 11 in 10f handicap at Windsor (40/1) 17 days ago, never threatened, first-time cheekpieces.
|
Finished last of 12 at Wolverhampton (66/1) 23 days ago, offering little on first run since trainer change.
|
Won at Bath (2/1) two runs back and performs well at this track with 4 course wins. Third of 14 in minor race at this course (15/2) 20 days ago, racing prominently and doing best of those who raced up with the pace. Respected.
|
Has shown ability at Chepstow but was below form when eighth of 14 in minor race at Brighton (18/1) 8 days ago under a change of tactics. Shows quirky tendencies and remains winless after 22 career starts.
|
Won a handicap over 8f at Leicester 61 days ago. Sixth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (12/1) 23 days ago, not seen to best effect on first start for this yard. Return to winning distance could be in her favour and needs considering.
|
Showed solid form with 4th at Bath (8f) in June and third of 8 in handicap at Chepstow over 10f (13/2) 20 days ago, performing better on good ground. Cheekpieces back on.
|
Finished second over C&D 34 days ago but ran below form when sixth of 7 in 10f minor race at Brighton (12/1) 6 days ago. Just as likely to run well as poorly on any given day.
|
Has shown limited ability in recent handicaps, running awkwardly under pressure. Fourth of 9 in minor race at Ffos Las (28/1) 16 days ago, staying on late without headgear. Now without a win in 18 races.
|
Yet to show much ability in four starts and off the track since finishing seventh of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford (12/1) 273 days ago, never involved. First run for a new trainer.

Forecasts
Tonal (11/4), Ajrad (10/3), Too Much Trevor (15/2), Fact Or Fable (15/2), Letter Of The Law (8/1), Rival (9/1), Up The Anti (11/1), Scarfo (11/1), Outrace (16/1), Stormy Lady (25/1), Sangara (33/1), Noble Phoenix (80/1), Olivia Jane (125/1)
UP THE ANTI can bounce back returning to her winning distance after not being seen to best effect at Lingfield since changing stables. Ajrad rates the main danger as a proven Chepstow specialist who won convincingly over C&D last month. Fact or Fable is also respected having shown good recent form.
- Up The Anti11/1
- Ajrad10/3
- Fact Or Fable15/2
