Doncaster

Beverley winner in April and arrives here in excellent heart, placed last 3 starts at up to 6f. No reason why he won't given another good account of himself.

Thirteen runs since last win in 2024. 4/1, respectable third of 8 in handicap at Haydock (5f, good to soft) 8 days ago, slowly away. Cheekpieces on first time and he's now back on that successful mark. Interesting with Oisin Murphy booked.

Habitual slow starter but he shaped really well when second of 11 in handicap at Ascot (5f, soft) 21 days ago, switched towards far side and also denied a clear run. Visor on first time and he clearly arrives in good order.

Five wins from 17 Flat runs, adding back-to-back handicaps at up to 6f during the summer. Ninth of 35 in the Ayr Gold Cup 35 days ago, slowly away and easing ground would help his cause.

Successful twice in a light 2024 campaign. Eighteenth of 19 in handicap at York (6f, good) 14 days ago though unproven over 6f and much better expected returned to the minimum trip from what is a handy mark.

Haydock winner on third start back in May. Shaped well a couple of times since then and just 1 lb above that successful mark, he can go well with a stiff 5f looking ideal.

All-the-way winner at Beverley in August and following another brace of placed efforts, he added to his tally at Leicester 3 weeks ago. Up 6 lb and dominating this field at this track asks a new question.

Knocking pretty loudly on the door before posting a career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Catterick (5f, good to soft) 7 days ago, keeping on well. 5 lb rise could have been worse and he's dangerous when getting into that sort of rhythm.

Useful handicapper who was back on scoresheet at Ascot (5f) in August. Matched that form since but only fifth of 11 trying to win a Catterick handicap for the third time a week ago. This represents a slight drop in class and yard in good order.

Enjoyed a decent 2-y-o campaign, but has found things much tougher this season and it's probably best to look elsewhere.

Has struggled in top-end sprints this summer but now 4 lb lower than when second at Newcastle in June and latest Haydock run on the back of a breathing operation isn't a performance to judge him too harshly on.

Better than ever when winning handicaps at Sandown (soft) and Ascot in August/September. Valid excuses for Haydock defeat (drying ground and a poor position in the centre of the track) and listed race was beyond her 3 weeks ago.
