More reliable on AW and latest win came at this trip last September. Ninth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (7/1) 27 days ago, reared leaving stalls and led until 2f out before weakening, likely needing that run after 7 weeks off. Solid claims down in grade.
|
Won at Newcastle 55 days ago but has had mixed results since, most recently fourth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (11/2) 13 days ago where he would have been placed with a clearer run after being badly hampered. Remains of interest upped to 14f.
|
Six-time course winner and ran up to form when second of 7 in handicap here (11/4 fav) 28 days ago on return from a 3-month break, coming agonisingly close to a seventh course success. Races off 3 lb higher but still on the up in this sphere.
|
Has shown some promise recently, third of 6 at Kempton 36 days ago before sixth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (7/1) 12 days ago, kept on when meeting trouble in running and would have benefited from a stronger gallop. Not the easiest ride and ideally needs a more truly-run race.
|
Has won twice previously but went through the motions when fifth of 6 in handicap at Kempton (18/1) 22 days ago, making no impression from mid-division. Significant step up to 14f represents new territory and he'll need to improve for it.
|
Won at Lingfield in November showing improved form back in headgear stepping up to 12f but wasn't in the same form when fourth of 9 in handicap there (9/4 favourite) 66 days ago, finishing effort rather tame. Faces another step up in trip and could get back on track following a break.
|
Returned from a 9-month absence 12 days ago but was last of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (33/1), never figuring after a poor start. Has fallen to a workable mark but this is a stronger race than he need contest.

Forecasts
Tryfan (11/10), Carlton (3/1), Machete (5/1), Crackalackin (12/1), Ludo's Landing (14/1), Vice President (16/1), Haaland (40/1)
Down in class, TRYFAN makes plenty of appeal returning to 14f with a run under his belt. Crackalackin and Machete both looking interesting stepping up in trip, while Carlton came agonisingly close to a seventh course success when second here on his return and he's also respected.
- Tryfan11/10
- Crackalackin12/1
- Machete5/1
