9/1

Comment: Three wins at sprint trips in 2024 (good, heavy and good to soft) but he was soundly beaten on final start and again when a remote last of six over C&D in July; 2lb below his latest winning mark but needs to leave his comeback run way behind.

Comment: Maiden who's been unable to rise to the occasion off virtually the same mark all year; however, he did seem suited by soft ground when fourth of 14 at Newbury (7f) 12 months ago and perhaps the change in the weather will play to his advantage.

Comment: Promising 2yo debut considering the poor track position and she had excuses for two subsequent defeats (finished lame on soft on final start); things went to plan on her handicap debut at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in July where she pulled out plenty against a subsequent winner; up 6lb; open to improvement if handling the slower ground.
