A new lease of life on AW of late, winning three 5f races elsewhere from his last five starts; has a small penalty for Chelmsford win on Thursday and although he hasn't run here for nearly two years his strong C&D form suggests the return to this surface will suit; good claims.
Progressive on AW last winter, winning four from five 5f starts elsewhere between mid-December and late January; also won on turf in June, when 2lb lower; off since July and this is only his second course run but he's hard to rule out.
Three turf wins at 5f, the latest in July 2024; 0-4 on AW but she ran well on Tapeta for previous yard, over 5f at Newcastle and 6f on this track in late 2024; lacks a recent run but speedy enough to be worth another go over a bare 5f.
No real say for latest trainer in the autumn but now back with Robert Cowell, for whom he won either side of last Christmas, over C&D and at Lingfield, both off higher marks than today; solid chance if back on song.
Won C&D novice as 2yo; four front-running 5f wins on turf since but has proved vulnerable returned to Tapeta of late, including back here two starts ago; needs extra.
Two 5f wins this year, a novice on Chelmsford AW (beat two rivals) and a Yarmouth handicap in July, but recent efforts suggest something special is needed off current mark.
It can be boom or bust on AW and, after being much too eager for his own good on his recent yard debut at Southwell, Alligator Alley left him behind in the closing stages; he is 2-5 in this sphere though (one win over C&D on sole course start) and there might be some mileage in fitting an eyeshield.
Two 5f wins on AW last winter, over C&D and at Chelmsford, but she's still 7lb higher than for the latter and this is a competitive first run on sand since February now back from a short break.
