Landed a gamble over 9f at Musselburgh in April and generally held form well since, coming in for support again when fifth at Ayr 3 weeks ago.
|
Surprise winner at Redcar on second handicap run in October but has struggled to make an impact since, pulling too hard on return in April. Off since.
|
Doubled his tally when scoring at Southwell in May. Summed up by mark since but he's back at a slightly lesser level now.
|
Landed back-to-back victories at Redcar/Doncaster earlier in the season and enhanced his good record at the former track when resuming winning ways 9 days ago. Has won here before so he's respected in current mood.
|
Consistent sort who ended a long losing sequence at Beverley in July and backed it up with a pair of in-the-frame efforts in a higher grade. Excuses here since and type to bounce back.
|
Responded well to the fitting of blinkers when winning back-to-back at Musselburgh and Hamilton last autumn but has looked a shadow of that horse this campaign, showing little starting out for this yard at Catterick latest.
|
Winner of this in 2024 but had a bad experience in last year's renewal. Won amateur race at Pontefract for the second successive season under this rider early this month and backed it up with another good second at Catterick. Can make another bold bid with headgear re-applied.
|
Justified support with wide-margin victory at Wolverhampton in November. Mixed record this year but trip was too far on stable debut last time. Bit to prove on balance back on turf.
|
Still looking for a first victory but he made a positive start for this stable when runner-up at Beverley on return. Hasn't kicked on but he's had excuses and mark eases again.
|
Has a poor strike rate and has been well held on her last 3 starts, albeit ridden too aggressively latest.

Forecasts
Star Start (5/2), Woodleigh (10/3), Spirit Catcher (4/1), It's Only Fun (15/2), Glitter Code (10/1), Three Yorkshiremen (12/1), Kitsune Power (12/1), Jam Lass (16/1), Cougar (20/1), On The Bubble (33/1)
STAR START has a good record in this type of event under this rider, including when winning this race 2 years ago off a similar mark, and his recent efforts suggest he can make another bold bid. Glitter Code and Spirit Catcher head the dangers.
