Uncomplicated sort. Travelled well/tracked a true pace when landing the Silver Bell Handicap at Hamilton in August. Since posted another smart performance when 1¾-length fifth in a valuable big-field handicap at Leopardstown (13f), and he looks the class act in this field.
|
Quirky sort who recorded a second career win at Kempton in late-May. Remained in form in top-end handicaps since, aided by the run of the race when 1¼-length second in the Mallard at Doncaster (14.5f). Things unlikely to unfold as favourably back down in distance but good-value claimer takes over.
|
Potentially well treated on the pick of his efforts this season, notably close third in a smart 9f handicap here in May. Shaped as if ready for this step back up in trip when 2¾-length fourth at Yarmouth (9f) last time. Forecast strong pace certainly favours this free-going 4-y-o, too.
|
Quirky sort has been a grand servant for connections. Overcame a pace bias to narrowly complete a July Course double (goes particularly well on that track) in August. Still in good form despite only beating one home in the Mallard latest. Likely vulnerable off an unchanged mark.
|
Career best when doubling his tally for the year in the Old Newton Cup (1½m) on the July Course here. Still looked in top form prior to racing too keenly when switched to front-running tactics at Doncaster (1¼m) latest. Should be seen to much better effect off a likely strong pace here.
|
Back to his best when making it 3 wins from 4 starts at Kempton last month. Turned in another solid effort when 4½-length third off this mark in a useful race at Newbury (13.5f) last time. Clearly in fine fettle and should give another good account with Saffie Osborne (1-1) returning.
|
Hit-and-miss front runner who resumed progress when successful on return at Kempton (1½m) in April. Beat a couple of today's rivals when runner-up over C&D the following month. Now 2 lb below that mark following a quieter spell and dangerous to dismiss if on a going day.
|
Free-going maiden who often races prominently. Posted a couple of fairly useful efforts in Ascot handicaps earlier this summer. Overexuberance contributed to a 10-length defeat in Carlisle maiden (11f) latest, however, he's not out of this if consenting to settle back in handicap company.

Forecasts
Tycoon (11/4), Evanesco (10/3), Primo Lara (7/2), Ernst Blofeld (6/1), Sportingsilvermine (9/1), Topteam (9/1), Arqoob (20/1), Blue Hercules (22/1)
EVANESCO has developed into a smart handicapper and can resume winning ways on the back of a cracking run in Ireland. The main danger could be Old Newton Cup winner Sportingsilvermine, who's enjoyed a largely stellar season for the excellent James Owen team, with Primo Lara also respected in his current vein of form.
