Beaten a long way all 3 Flat outings this season and it was a similar story back hurdling at Cartmel last month. Visor goes back on.
|
Course winner but he's not quite been firing on all cylinders so far this year and is hard to make a case for at present.
|
Long-standing maiden who continues below his 2025 level, failing to see things out in first-time blinkers at Hamilton last time. Is at least well treated on old form.
|
Yard excels with this type and he unsurprisingly proved a different proposition sent handicapping over a longer trip when winning a 12-runner event at Newcastle (12.4f) 6 days ago. Makes turf debut but should prove very hard to beat under a penalty.
|
Posted her best effort of the season when very good second of 7 in handicap here (1½m, good to firm) in July but failed to repeat that effort against her elders at Hamilton last time. Now wears a visor.
|
A maiden who ran one of his better races despite not convincing at the trip when 3¾ lengths fifth of 8 to Ebony Maw in 13f handicap at Ayr on his penultimate start but was beaten before the distance became a factor at Leicester 4 weeks ago. Hard to fancy.
|
No better than mid-division in his qualifying runs towards end of last year and hasn't fared any better in handicaps, looking one paced over a variety of trips.
|
Showed a temperament side (flashed tail under pressure) but produced one of her better efforts when third of 7 in handicap (11/1) at Lingfield (16.3f, firm) 35 days ago. First-time blinkers go on to replace cheekpieces but drop back in trip isn't certain to suit.

Forecasts
Niffler (4/11), Fairydale (10/1), Mr Withington (11/1), This Rib (12/1), Zephlyn (14/1), Lilykoy (20/1), Animato (20/1), Manbearpig (20/1)
NIFFLER appeals as one who could run up a sequence for Sir Mark Prescott and is very hard to oppose under a penalty. Fairydale might pose the bggest threat ahead of Mr Withington.
