C&D winner who returned to winning ways in Racing League event at Yarmouth in July. Has run well in this competition both starts since, not ideally placed when fourth of 9 at Windsor (10f, firm, 15/2) 2 weeks ago. Merits consideration.
|
Smart at best when trained by Roger Varian, with last run in this sphere back in May 2022. Campaigned over hurdles subsequently, making 3 starts for Dan Skelton but winning first 3 of 4 outings for current yard in 2023. Absent 2 years but he's worth a market check.
|
Made it 4 wins from 6 starts when scoring at Redcar in May. Below form the next twice, but making all-weather debut he bounced back to best when third of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 8/1) 3 weeks ago. Could be in the mix.
|
Winner of this race last year under Saffie Osborne and arrives in good heart, coming from further back than the other principals when 2 lengths third of 12 to Crowd Quake in Racing League event at Chepstow (10f, good, 9/1) 3 weeks ago. Respected.
|
Gained first success on turf at Lingfield in June. However, was well below form when 13½ lengths last of 11 to Bowerchalke in handicap at this course (11.1f, 7/1) 46 days ago. Needs to bounce back given more time ahead of this race.
|
Winner over C&D in March before following up at Kempton in May. Has continued in good heart since, faring best of those held up when third of 12 in Racing League event at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to soft, 9/1) 35 days ago. Not dismissed lightly.
|
Made it 3-3 on artificial surfaces when winning handicap at this C&D in July. Found it tougher back up in grade when sixth of 8 in listed race at Newmarket (12f, good, 14/1) 26 days ago, but she could fare better returned to handicap company/all-weather.
|
Following a breathing operation, ended long losing run at Lingfield in April and scored again at Windsor the following month. Ran well in his hat-trick bid when third of 5 in handicap at Pontefract (12f, good, 3/1) 80 days ago and he remains on a handy mark.
|
Opened account for the year at Windsor on penultimate start and backed up that effort when fourth of 7 in handicap at Goodwood (9.9f, good to firm, 7/1) 5 days ago, left poorly placed. This is tougher back up in class.
|
Made it 6 wins from last 8 starts when landing 12-runner Racing League event at Chepstow (10f, good, 7/1) 3 weeks ago, switched to front-running tactics for first time. Can make another bold bid in his current mood.
|
Lingfield maiden winner in March and, in first-time visor (now discarded) fared better than previously in handicaps when second of 3 at Lingfield (9f, good to firm, 6/1) last time. Off 2 months ahead of first run since leaving Andrew Balding.

CROWD QUAKE has thrived since going handicapping this year, recording his sixth win when making all at Chepstow 3 weeks ago, and he can continue his progress to add to his tally. The 4-y-o is taken to see off the challenge of last year's winner of this race Fantasy Believer, while Andaleep also arrives in good form and completes the shortlist.
