Belatedly off the mark (first run since leaving Katie Scott) in a 9-runner handicap at Yarmouth (7f) last August but well held in 2 comeback outings this summer. Something to prove for now.
|
Can be wayward (tends to hang) but has managed to win 3 times at Chepstow (6f/7f) this summer. No impact in a Class 2 over 1m there latest but this is more his level.
|
Won over 1m at Brighton for Andrew Balding last June. Bounced back to form when second over 1m here in May but 3 lesser runs have followed. Hard to know what to expect.
|
Tumbled down the weights and back on the scoreboard when landing 13-runner handicap at Beverley (7f, good) last month. Never involved over 7f at Musselburgh since, though.
|
Off the mark at Chepstow (1m, good to firm) in July and has backed it up with a pair of good runner-up efforts. Has cheekpieces refitted. Brings a much more positive profile than most.
|
Yet to win but has placed 4 times since joining this yard, including third of 8 on all-weather at Lingfield (7f) 9 days ago. First-time cheekpieces won't need to give him much extra.
|
Four wins since February, the latest at Windsor (1m, firm) in June. Ran no sort of race back from a short break at Southwell at the end of August, though.
|
Lightly-raced filly from a good yard but well held in both handicaps. The addition of a hood needs to have a positive effect.
|
Latest Lingfield third was the fourth time he's placed at 0-60 level on his last 5 starts. Likely to be in the mix again in first-time cheekpieces.
|
Successful on 4 of his 5 starts on turf during 2024 (including over C&D) but failed to find the same form last year and well held on recent Redcar reappearance after a breathing operation.
|
Won this race last year and added to tally at Carlisle (7f, good to soft) in June. Respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Ayr (7f, good) 42 days ago. Can make presence felt in this race again.
|
Recorded her fourth course success in 10-runner classified event at Yarmouth (1m, firm) last month. Well beaten at Brighton since. Yard no stranger to success in this contest.
|
Back to form when third of 13 in C&D classified race in June and failed to stay 1m at Pontefract later that month. First start for 12 weeks.
|
Much improved with a tongue tie added (retained) when second of 6 in classified event at Ffos Las (6f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Good shout if he can build on that now stepping back up in trip.

Ridger (3/1), Violet Goldsmith (4/1), Midnight's Dream (13/2), Albeyours (7/1), Sir David (15/2), Credit Forgedd It (8/1), Shark Two One (11/1), Cuban Girl (16/1), Clasina (20/1), Too Much Trevor (20/1), Diane Chasseresse (22/1), Captain Corelli (22/1), Amathus (25/1), Aim For The Bull (40/1), Heer's Sadie (50/1)
VIOLET GOLDSMITH was clear of the rest when second at Kempton recently and could still be nicely treated even after a 3 lb nudge. Fellow 3-y-os Ridger and Credit Forgedd It head the dangers along with Midnight's Dream and last year's winner Albeyours.
