Won 3 from 4 starts last year but hasn't stood much racing in his career to date and likely needed run when down field on recent return from 12 months off 26 days ago. Needs to build on that effort but his stable is going well.
|
Lightly raced but no progress this year, including when mid-field in handicap at Thirsk last time. Off 87 days since.
|
Won over C&D in May but lost his way since leaving Ben Haslam, running poorly in a change of headgear last time. Hard to fancy on recent evidence.
|
Continues to hold his form, only outside the frame once across his last 10 outings. Creditable third of 12 in a handicap at Pontefract 9 days ago and likely to go well once more.
|
Finally got off the mark in a 13-runner handicap at Hamilton 24 days ago, first-time blinkers perhaps adding an edge. Up 3 lb but likely still feasibly treated so could follow up now he's got the hang of things.
|
Dropped to a mark in the 50s for the first time when third of 11 in a handicap at Catterick over 7f 18 days ago, faring best of those ridden with the pace. Back down in trip to 6f and one to note at this level.
|
Maiden improving gradually with each run, finishing second of 6 at Catterick 18 days ago on his third start. Needs bigger step forward up against older horses on handicap debut.
|
Twice a winner over C&D in 2024 and ended losing run when scoring twice from lowly marks this May. Largely consistent since but needs to settle better than she did last time.
|
Twice a winner at Chelmsford earlier this year but first finish outside the frame in 2026 coincided with recent return to turf so she's got surface concerns.
|
Finished well held in previous handicap starts but won when dropped to class 6 for first time at Ffos Las in August over 7f, making all. Now steps down to 6f with hood removed and up against older rivals so may be vulnerable.
|
Dual C&D winner who has run some good races this year, including when second at Catterick earlier in the month, but he may prove vulnerable to younger rivals.

Forecasts
Eldeyaar (7/2), Good Karma (7/2), Showtime Mahomes (9/2), Big Apple Jack (7/1), Oh So Perfect (17/2), Jet Warrior (17/2), Run This Way (9/1), Sole Spirit (12/1), King's Road Dandy (20/1), Triple P (33/1), Golden Mabel (40/1)
SHOWTIME MAHOMES took a step in the right direction when third last time and races from the same career-low mark here so he's taken to resume winning ways. Big Apple Jack finally broke his duck last time and should go well from just a 3 lb higher mark, while Good Karma is so consistent that he's hard to see being out of the frame.
