16/1

Had a productive spell on the AW during the winter but not as good on turf of late, sixth of 9 in handicap at Chepstow (20/1) 19 days ago without headgear, rearing at start on first run for new stable. Could benefit from return to 7f.

Step Along¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 54

9/4

Has performed creditably with two third-place finishes in recent handicaps, latterly at Ffos Las (7.4) 11 days ago, travelling well and leading approaching the final furlong before being headed close home. Return to a bare 7f in her favour and she has the same mark here.

Blue Point Express^p1²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Finley Marsh| T: A Wintle| OR: 48

4/1

Has shown very little so far, finishing sixth of 10 in handicap at Ffos Las (25/1) 20 days ago. One of her better runs was over this C&D in July and she now wears first-time cheekpieces.

11/4

Often pulls hard and finished last of 9 in 7f handicap at Wolverhampton (15/2) 42 days ago. Hood removed and others are more persuasive.

Aim For The Bull^v1¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Darragh Keenan| T: M Murphy| OR: 48

5/2

Pretty consistent this year without winning, including a second-place finish at Chelmsford in May. Finished fourth of 12 in a classified race at Yarmouth (14/1) 18 days ago and visor now replaces cheekpieces.

66/1

Continues to show little ability, seventh of 9 in handicap at Ffos Las (100/1) 11 days ago, never threatening.

STEP ALONG has been knocking on the door of late, just failing to see out the 7.4f trip at Ffos Las. This slightly shorter distance looks ideal and this is a good opening for her. Aim For The Bull continues in good heart and is the chief threat in a change of headgear.
