Big Stage Hire Handicap

All 3 wins have come round here, bouncing back to best to record her latest in 10-runner handicap 20 days ago. Should remain competitive after a 3 lb rise.

Has a fine record round here with 4 successes, the latest in September. Ran below form under a penalty when down the field here 11 days ago. Bounce back needed.

A 3-time winner from 10 runs this year. Not in the same form at Salisbury on last 2 starts but is at least eased in grade, though the drop back to the minimum trip is a concern.

Doubled her tally in 4-runner race at Yarmouth in July. Largely creditable efforts since but wasn't seen to best effect at Wolverhampton last time having been caught wide. Others preferred.

Dual nursery scorer at Brighton last year but has been rather in-and-out this campaign, finishing well held back at that course last month having been sent off favourite. Needs a few to falter.

Winless since debut in June 2024 but posted a good second at Windsor in August. Below form since but continues to fall in the weights. Has good chance on pick of form if taking to the drop to 5f.

Scored over C&D in May and has been placed on several occasions since, unlucky not to win (not clear run) when beaten only a neck at Goodwood last month. Below form at Chester since but can get back on track eased in grade.

Two 5f Chepstow wins on contrasting ground this summer but below form last 2 starts and others look more persuasive at present.

C&D winner last season and twice a runner-up at Goodwood this summer. Bounced back to form when 2¾ lengths third of 10 to Court Drive in handicap here 11 days ago. The handicapper has given her a chance.

Course winner whose standout effort last season came when winning at Windsor. Seen only twice this season and may need more testing conditions.
