A La Noche (G)
Showed glimpses of promise for Richard Hannon in 2023 but has been off nearly 3 years since so has loads to prove making handicap debut for a new stable.

Has developed an in-and-out profile this season but bounced back when fourth of 13 at Southwell on all-weather 22 days ago. More needed back on turf.

Won at Brighton in June when making all and was third at Chester forcing pace in July, but struggled when unable to lead in better company at Ascot last time. Hopes pinned on whether he can get his w…

Only win came in November. Largely struggled since and didn't settle fully when fourth of 9 in a handicap at Ffos Las over 7f in July. Now tries first-time blinkers after cheekpieces failed to solve …

Hasn't won since October when trained by Robert Cowell and little to be positive about him judged on last 3 outings.

Play Me (G)
Course winner who also scored at Brighton in June. Not seen to best effect last 2 starts, including when hampered in a higher grade last time and he could bounce back returned to 7f.

Taken well to this track the last twice, finishing fourth of 8 in July before finally getting off the mark over C&D 15 days ago. Up 3 lb but remains of plenty of interest.

Off the mark over 6f at Newmarket in June and not disgraced next 2 starts, looking in need of a stronger pace last time. May do better stepped back up to 7f with Hector Crouch taking over.

Shaped well at Newmarket last month and built on that promise to justify favouritism over C&D last time. 3 lb rise for that looks more than fair and he's now back against some older rivals so could w…
