Successful from this mark at Yarmouth (10.1f) back in the spring but form proved rather up and down thereafter, albeit having little go right when eighth of 14 in handicap back at that venue 5 weeks ago. Capable if putting it all together.
|
C&D winner back in May but unable to replicate that level of form subsequently, but best not judged too harshly on his latest last of 5 in handicap at Chelmsford City (13.3f, 14/1) 27 days ago, left poorly placed in a race run at a crawl. Return to this track/trip may help.
|
Lightly-raced maiden. 25/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, ninth of 13 in handicap at this course (12.1f) 23 days ago, met some trouble. Blinkers on 1st time. Others more persuasive.
|
Won a novice race at Windsor then disqualified when tried in handicap at same C&D (9/4) 43 days ago after rider weighed in light. However, struggled to land a blow from revised mark when last of 9 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good) 71 days ago. Absent since.
|
Found the little bit extra that was required when shedding maiden tag in 13-runner handicap at Kempton (11f) in September. Slowly-run race against him when fourth of 5 in handicap at Chelmsford City (13.3f) 27 days ago and he's best treated as still in form. Down in trip.
|
Winner at Redcar in October. 18/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 25 days ago, racing too freely and no extra final 1f. Needs a couple of these to falter.
|
Lightly-raced maiden. 85/40, showed promise after 8 months off when fourth of 11 on handicap debut at Leicester (10f, good) back in May. Absent since but he's in very good hands and he looks just the type to progress further on AW this winter now stamina is tested further.
|
Latest win at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in October. 5/4, seventh of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 6 days ago, weakening 1f out. Revised mark ought not to prove beyond him on pick of his form and he's not one to be writing off.
|
Winner over 1m here back in March but essentially disappointing upon returning from a summer break, eighth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 23 days ago. Best watched at present.
|
Ex-French filly who showed fair form when 11 lengths sixth of 10 at Compiegne (14f) in June. However, she finished well held after 3 months off/for new yard when last of 7 in novice at this course (7.1f) 58 days ago. Return to further a likely plus on handicap bow but market best guide.
|
Maiden who has fallen in the weights this season and he ran creditably when running on second of 14 in handicap at Newmarket (9f, good, 28/1) 26 days ago. This even longer trip looks worth exploring on that evidence and he's well treated if building on that effort.

Forecasts
Westcombe (6/4), Age Of Time (10/3), Must Believe (11/2), Spec Of Light (10/1), Si Solus (11/1), Life Is Rosie (14/1), Off Spin (14/1), Show Biz Kid (20/1), Forca Timao (25/1), Jam Lass (40/1), Abila (80/1)
A number arrive with claims but the returning WESTCOMBE hails from a very shrewd yard and boasts easily one of the least exposed profiles, so could be the way to go now his stamina is tested further. Off Spin following his very good Newmarket second, Age of Time and Must Believe are a trio of others fancied to be in the thick of things.
