C&D winner who was successful 4 times last year for Darryll Holland and confirmed himself back on reasonable heart for present stable when third of 5 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good) 15 days ago. Definite possibilities back on all-weather.
|
2 wins from 6 runs this year. Blinkered for 1st time, improved on recent efforts to win 11-runner handicap here (6f, good to firm) 35 days ago. Expected to be firmly in the mix again up 5 lb.
|
C&D winner who stepped up on his stable debut effort when finishing runner-up at Wolverhampton (6.1f) in June. However, went the wrong way from that when eighth of 10 in handicap (14/1) at Chelmsford City (6f) 32 days ago. Still, not taken lightly in an open-looking handicap.
|
Twelve runs since last win in 2024. First run since leaving James Horton when third of 4 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, good to firm, 9/2) 30 days ago, weakening over 1f out. Entitled to be sharper with that run behind him and better showing anticipated.
|
Scored over this trip in France during spring of last year but offered little in 2 starts upon returning this time around, last of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f, 28/1) 11 days ago. Plenty to prove at present.
|
Showcasing gelding who has stepped up a little on each of her 3 starts in maiden/novice company, fifth of 8 in novice at Doncaster (6f, good to firm, 25/1) 72 days ago. Had breathing operation ahead of this switch to handicaps and worth noting if the market speaks in his favour.
|
22/1, bit below form fifth of 9 in maiden at this course (8f, AW) 18 days ago. Return to handicaps certainly in her favour from this much reduced mark but her draw could have been kinder.
|
Successful from 3 lb higher mark at Kempton (7f) back in February. Form has been rather up and down since on AW/turf but joined a yard boasting an excellent record with new recruits and no surprise to see a bold showing.
|
C&D winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2024. Creditable second of 10 in handicap at Brighton (6f, good, 6/1) 31 days ago. Each-way possibilities again.

Forecasts
Hockney (2/1), Penelope Valentine (16/5), Bluebells Boy (5/1), Big Bard (13/2), Alashos (10/1), Fai Fai (11/1), Master Dandy (18/1), I Can Imagine (20/1), Kakarotto (33/1)
No shortage of chances in this handicap but PENELOPE VALENTINE arrives 3 lb below the mark she defied at Kempton earlier in the year and, having joined the excellent James Owen yard, she could well be up to dispelling a lesser effort on turf and bouncing back. Big Bard, a winner on turf here 5 weeks ago and Alashos head the dangers, along with Bluebells Boy.
