Went close when second in 7f Wolverhampton handicap last November. Won 0-55 handicap over 7f at Wolverhampton (7/4) 150 days ago, beating 11 rivals. Previous 6f attempts suggest today's drop in trip is a concern.
|
Won at Windsor in July before placed third twice, most recently at Goodwood (15/2) 27 days ago when not seen to best effect. Player.
|
Showed modest handicap form when sixth of 12 at Newmarket (25/1) 48 days ago with tongue strap, ran handy and challenged before weakening late. Return to AW could suit.
|
Has two seconds at 6f this year and finished second of 5 in a 5.7f handicap at Bath (7/2) 33 days ago, racing off the pace before staying on late. Could be in the mix if overcoming starting gate issues.
|
Out of sorts with no win in 30 starts, seventh of 12 in handicap at Kempton (14/1). Hard to fancy.
|
Has shown decent form on AW, including a third of 12 in a 6f handicap at Wolverhampton in July. Finished second of 10 in a 5f handicap at Southwell (14/1) 16 days ago, putting in late work and suggesting the trip was too sharp. Should be more suited to this return to 6f based on previous efforts.
|
Has mixed form in handicaps including a head second at Bath in June. Fourth of 8 in handicap at Bath (28/1) 15 days ago when hanging right and failing to find extra final furlong.
|
Five-time winner who has been running in 6f handicaps. Second of 9 in handicap at Windsor (10/1) 31 days ago, travelled smoothly but not ideally placed when challenging in the final furlong. Strong contender returning to AW.
|
Ran poorly at this C&D in July but showed improvement when fifth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 24 days ago. First-time tongue strap today.
|
Previous third at this C&D (11/8) but finished ninth of 14 at Windsor (15/2) 87 days ago. First run for new trainer. May benefit from return to this surface after recent underperformances.
|
Won at Lingfield in May and finished second of 10 in 6f AW handicap at Southwell (9/1) 24 days ago after setting the pace. Can give good account if securing early lead.
|
Won at Lingfield (7f) in June but below form since, including when fifth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (5f) 10 days ago (20/1), making late headway. Visor back on, blinkers removed.

Forecasts
Equalised (3/1), Soar Above (10/3), Early Release (9/2), Respectable Jack (11/2), Galel (11/1), Top Biller (12/1), Southbank (14/1), Vitalline (18/1), Lahina Bay (18/1), Sundiata Keita (25/1), Little Miss Magic (28/1), Wild Embers (33/1)
SOUTHBANK has been running consistently in 6f handicaps, finishing a strong second at Windsor last time when not ideally placed, and shades the vote over the in-form Lahina Bay. Early Release found 5f too sharp last time and should appreciate this return to 6f.
