Place / No / Draw	Date / Going / Distance / Class	Time + Course Horse + Weight Jockey / Trainer	Verdict	Starting price
9th 1 (4)	25th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 4	16:25 Doncaster Summerghand 10st 0lb J: David Nolan T:	10yo who isn't the same force as last year and may not want soft ground, but he's performed respectably in hot handicaps on his last few starts and is on a dangerous mark now dropping back down in grade; possible player.	11/2
7th 4 (12)	21st Sep 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2	14:25 Ayr Summerghand 9st 10lb J: Daniel Tudhope T: David O’Meara	Top-of-the-trees in the best sprint handicaps down the years, winning the Stewards' Cup in 2020 and the Gold Cup in 2022; failed to beat a rival here 12 months ago but the weight has fallen off his back since and his run at the Curragh last week was encouraging; could well have a decent crack at this; refitted cheekpieces replace regular visor.	7/1
6th 16 (9)	15th Sep 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y	13:50 Curragh Summerghand 8st 11lb J: Ronan Whelan T: David O’Meara	17 career wins but has failed to score this season in a heavy schedule; still performs with credit in big sprint handicaps and has an each-way chance.	12/1
6th 13 (6)	24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2	16:10 York Summerghand 8st 8lb J: Oisin Murphy T: David O’Meara	Veteran who retains a chunk of ability, most recently coming from well back to finish fourth in last week's Great St Wilfrid at Ripon; bids for his third consecutive win in this race and Oisin Murphy is a notable booking; contender but there's just a concern he'll get going too late.	9/1
