Better on AW than turf in recent start with a second at Lingfield (40/1) in June but one of better turf runs when third of 9 in turf handicap at Lingfield (40/1) 26 days ago. Could go well returning to AW surface today.
|
Ran well twice at Chelmsford, finishing 3rd over 6f (18/1) in May and 2nd over C&D (7/1) in June. Lost chance at start latest, finished 7th of 12 in handicap at Newmarket (17/2) 29 days ago when again slowly away. Should appreciate the return to C&D but slow starts temper enthusiasm.
|
Won 7f handicap at Doncaster 28 days ago but sixth of 9 in handicap at Leicester (9/4) 20 days ago when awkward leaving stalls. Has 2 course and distance wins so ought to be competitive if he can bounce back at this venue.
|
Course winner is below last winning mark but has been inconsistent. Creditable effort when fourth of 8 in handicap at Brighton (12/1) 23 days ago without headgear, pushed along but didn't quicken. Isn't the easiest to catch right so remains to be seen if he can back that up.
|
Won at Yarmouth in June and bounced back to form when second at Lingfield in early August. Fifth of 9 in handicap at Yarmouth back over this trip 6 days ago, shaped better than the result having been denied a clear run. Remains well treated on best form and merits plenty of respect back on the AW.
|
Looked to have been brought along with handicaps in mind but has failed to improve, the latest finishing eighth of 9 at Newmarket (20/1) 43 days ago when soon beaten. Returns to AW without tongue strap and has plenty to prove.
|
Consistent handicapper with a course and distance win to his name earlier this year and several placed efforts here. Finished second of 9 at Ffos Las (2/1) 8 days ago when travelling well and running on. One to consider returning to this track.
|
Five-time course winner with good recent form including a close second over C&D in April. Finished fourth of 9 in a handicap at Yarmouth over 6f (13/2) 45 days ago, running respectably on a rare turf outing. Returns to 7f at this course and should be in the mix.
|
Placed third at Southwell (AW) in June but has lost his way of late, finished fifth of 7 in a classified stakes at Chelmsford City (4/1) 9 days ago when racing off pace. Back up in trip off a career-low mark (now 1 lb out of the handicap) but needs to find a spark.

Windsor Pass (11/4), Rusheen Boy (9/2), Wilde And Dandy (11/2), Latin (6/1), Thomas Equinas (15/2), Gundogan (9/1), Jackson Street (10/1), Love Your Work (16/1), American Treasure (28/1), Autumn Festival (40/1)
A potential lack of pace in the race but RUSHEEN BOY is preferred having been denied a clear run when fifth at Yarmouth recently and he remains well treated on the best of his form returning to the all-weather. Windsor Pass arrives in fine heart and has a good record here, as does Thomas Equinas, a five-time course winner, who returns to his preferred 7f back at this track.
