| 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. | ||||||||

| 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. | ||||||||

| 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. | ||||||||

| 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. | ||||||||

| 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. | ||||||||

|
JER BATT has been rather expensive to follow this season but he's back on his last winning mark and a well-run 5f should be ideal, He gets the tentative vote in favour of Duran, Rosario and Trilby. |
