Thriving this summer upped to 1½m, not needing to be at her best to complete the 5-timer in a 9-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (1½m) 26 days ago. 6 lb higher now but makes plenty of appeal again.

Losing run stretches back to 2023 but he produced one of his better recent efforts when third at Redcar in August. Shaped as if better for the run after a 7-week break when sixth of 8 in handicap at Pontefract (1½m, good, 10/1) 23 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time.

Has taken her form up a notch for current yard this year, winning for the third time this season at Bath in September. Not quite in the same form when third of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (1½m) 29 days ago but is the type to bounce back quickly having been eased 1 lb.

Bumper winner has been slowly away and made no impact in maiden/novice events on the Flat, most recently over 11f at this track 3 weeks ago. Likely to improve now handicapping over a more suitable trip.

Winless since 2023. Best run this season when second at Newcastle in August but only fifth of 6 in handicap at Catterick (1¾m, good) next time. Attracted support but was unsuited by how things developed when seventh of 9 in handicap at this course (11f) 11 days ago. Back up in trip.

Looked green but showed ability when third at Leicester on debut last October but still to better that form in 5 attempts since, albeit making more impact than previously in handicaps when third of 7 (25/1) at Ayr (15f, heavy) 18 days ago. Makes tapeta debut.

A 2½m winner over hurdles. Showed little in a trio of runs up to 1m in this sphere for Michael and David Easterby and it has been a similar story in handicaps on her last 2 starts since rejoining former yard.
