3 yo Colt
OR: 78
Lightly raced 3yo who has done well since switched to handicaps in August including two all-the-way wins on the Kempton Polytrack (6f/7f); still open to further progress, but up 4lb in a better race and not sure he will be able to dominate these rivals in the same way.

9th Jun 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Made good progress last season and he looks an improved performer at four, winning 6f handicaps at Newmarket and Kempton the last twice; showed a fine attitude on the latter occasion and a 4lb rise is unlikely to prove beyond him; often front runs but showed he doesn't have to lead last time; strong contender. |

Took advantage of a drop in the weights when winning over C&D early last month and has performed at least as well in two starts on turf since, looking unlucky not to win when dead-heating for second at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) nine days ago; only 1lb higher and one to be interested in.

9st 2lb |
Smooth winner of a Class 4 handicap at Wolverhampton last month; runner-up in three runs since and highly likely she's still attractively handicapped; hard to see why she would reverse Pontefract form with Unequal Love on these terms though. |

Scored twice at Dundalk (6f, Polytrack) last winter, but held since returning on turf in May including when eighth of ten on stable debut at Chester (7f, good to soft) last month; return to the AW may help and cheekpieces are given a go, but others look more solid.

9th Nov 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Ex-Irish 3yo who ran creditably in first-time cheekpieces at Wolverhampton last month on second start for new yard, taking form figures over 6f on AW to 2113 and shaping as if this drop back to 5f won't be a problem; still open to further progress in this sphere; shortlisted. |

17th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Not exactly solid on his form since being gelded, always behind at Kempton most recently; however, defied a 2lb higher mark in this race 12 months ago and has a major chance if back on song. |
9/1 |

10th 6 (11) |
7th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Back to his last winning mark and he's of interest on this year's AW best; cheekpieces haven't helped the last twice and they are now dispensed with; this is easier than last time but drawn wide and he needs a revival. |
12/1 |
|
7th 10 (1) |
29th Jun 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Latest Haydock effort not the one to judge him on and this year's peak AW efforts bring him right into the reckoning off this mark; C&D winner; stall 1 a potential stumbling block but there is pace drawn nearby; only 1lb higher than when winning this race last year; contender. |

Front-runner whose record on the AW reads 3112112; has been racing over further of late, but he finished runner-up in this contest last year (off 4lb lower) and no surprise if he runs another big race in the returning cheekpieces.

9st 10lb |
Had a good spell over 6f on the AW early in 2024 and has done just as well back on turf twice since, just failing at Newbury in April and Chester in June (both 6f; good to soft and good); probably needs more off current mark; yard also runs Tacarib Bay. |

String of good efforts, turf and AW, since December; missed out by a nose at Chester last time but he's now 2lb higher and this demands more. |

Suggested a return to form when third of 12 at Thirsk (6f, good) early last month and soft ground an excuse for a lesser effort at Yarmouth (6f) last time; 5lb below his last winning mark, but this still looks a tough ask.

Losing sequence goes back 14 races to September 2022 but he's dropped down the weights and has run well the last twice, most recently third at Hamilton (6f, good); another 1lb lower today and could be thereabouts. |

Won two AW novices over 5f as a 2yo and appreciated the return to the Tapeta when beaten half a length into third of 14 in a Racing League contest at Southwell (5f; first start since being gelded) last month; cheekpieces given a go, but still to prove he stays this far and is drawn widest.

21st Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Without a win in three years; this season is turning into a struggle and not sure his recent fifth of seven at Thirsk offered sufficient encouragement that he's about to turn a corner; soft ground is unlikely to be ideal. |

Over three years since his last win; down the field in two hot handicaps this season but last season's peak effort came when a close second in the Stewards' Cup and he's now 4lb lower; not straightforward but more than enough ability to contend. |

Latest win came in a Pontefract Listed contest (6f, good to firm) in August last year, but not particularly consistent in the meantime; fair effort when fourth of seven at Chelmsford (6f, Polytrack; first-time tongue-tie) last month (Batal Dubai third), but she wouldn't be sure to build on it.

Seen more regularly on turf and it's over two years since her one AW win (6f) but she's been running well off much-reduced mark of late; shouldn't be too far away if no ill effects from leaving off the headgear. |
