Went close when second in 7f Wolverhampton handicap last November. Won 0-55 handicap over 7f at Wolverhampton (7/4) 150 days ago, beating 11 rivals. Previous 6f attempts suggest today's drop in trip is a concern.

Showed modest handicap form when sixth of 12 at Newmarket (25/1) 48 days ago with tongue strap, ran handy and challenged before weakening late. Return to AW could suit.

Has two seconds at 6f this year and finished second of 5 in a 5.7f handicap at Bath (7/2) 33 days ago, racing off the pace before staying on late. Could be in the mix if overcoming starting gate issues.

Out of sorts with no win in 30 starts, seventh of 12 in handicap at Kempton (14/1). Hard to fancy.

Has shown decent form on AW, including a third of 12 in a 6f handicap at Wolverhampton in July. Finished second of 10 in a 5f handicap at Southwell (14/1) 16 days ago, putting in late work and suggesting the trip was too sharp. Should be more suited to this return to 6f based on previous efforts.

Five-time winner who has been running in 6f handicaps. Second of 9 in handicap at Windsor (10/1) 31 days ago, travelled smoothly but not ideally placed when challenging in the final furlong. Strong contender returning to AW.

Previous third at this C&D (11/8) but finished ninth of 14 at Windsor (15/2) 87 days ago. First run for new trainer. May benefit from return to this surface after recent underperformances.

20:15 Kempton - 18 September 2025 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

SOUTHBANK has been running consistently in 6f handicaps, finishing a strong second at Windsor last time when not ideally placed, and shades the vote over the in-form Lahina Bay. Early Release found 5f too sharp last time and should appreciate this return to 6f.
