Went close here 2 weeks ago before coming out on the right side of a close finish over C&D last week. Pulled clear with a last-time-out winner there and she can go well again after 3 lb rise.
|
Back to winning ways at Chepstow in June and followed up in a classified event at Lingfield 12 days later. Made laboured progress into third at Bath last month but travelled with more fluency when runner-up at Yarmouth (1m) 19 days ago. Can be in the mix again.
|
Placed a couple of times this year but is proving difficult to win with (last scored in 2023) and finished down the field when supported here on Thursday.
|
Placed 3 times on all-weather earlier this season but was below form when last seen and is entitled to need this after a 117-day break.
|
Gained reward for his consistency when dead-heating at Lingfield (7f) in February. Has run some creditable races in defeat since but was below form back on all-weather at Kempton 26 days ago, so needs to bounce back.
|
Yet to register a victory but has tumbled in the weights and went with more purpose when third of 8 over 8.5f at Wolverhampton last month. Not in the same form over C&D 3 weeks ago and now sports blinkers.
|
Ran well from an easing mark when third of 15 in handicap at Killarney (1m, soft) 26 days ago and looks of major interest of the back of a very eye-catching stable switch (left Kevin Thomas Coleman).
|
Capitalised on the drop into classified company for the first time at Wolverhampton (7f) in June and has refound his form to finish placed over 8.5f there on his last 2 outings. Solid frame claims again.
|
Failed to go on for Jane Chapple-Hyam but produced her best effort since joining this yard when 2¾ lengths fourth of 13 to Lili Marleen in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago, coming from further back than the other principals. Respected.
|
Relatively lightly-raced 3-y-o who doubled his tally over C&D in August. Remained in good heart on all-weather on his next 2 starts but below form back on turf at Ayr last time. Now wears first-time cheekpieces.
|
Remains winless and was tried in cheekpieces when fading into eighth of 13 in handicap at Bath (1¼m) 28 days ago on his final run for Jack Channon back in June. Reverts to shorter trip on debut for a new handler.
|
Much improved with cheekpieces added when winning at Beverley on handicap debut (8.5f, good) last month and quickly returned to form when third of 12 at Yarmouth (1m, good) 19 days ago. Stall 14 isn't ideal, though.
|
Long-standing maiden but placed for the fifth time this season when second at Hamilton (1m) in September. Below-form seventh of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (1¼m) 29 days ago, however. Visor back on.
|
Sole win came back in 2023 but has made the frame 3 times this season. Couldn't extend his run of decent form when seventh of 12 in handicap at Yarmouth (1m, good, 8/1) 19 days ago and others make more appeal for win purposes.

Forecasts
Lili Marleen (9/2), Desert Charm (5/1), Oppenheimer (6/1), Zabriskie Point (7/1), Mythical Isle (10/1), Star Suepreme (10/1), Blue Samuna (10/1), Cy Twombly (14/1), Abu Royal (14/1), Kondratiev Wave (16/1), Mali Star (16/1), Millbuie (16/1), King Of Speed (20/1), Hear The Drums (25/1)
The ex-Irish OPPENHEIMER lurks on a handy mark and might be worth chancing having joined the James Owen yard. Lili Marleen has to be respected on the back of last week's C&D win, with Desert Charm also on the shortlist.
