9st 9lb |
Forecast rain a blessing as he's suited by softer than good, which excuses his latest defeat at York; went very close in the Thirsk Hunt Cup the time before and, granted his conditions, should go well in a classified race; can be slow to break. |

4th May 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Best form on soft/heavy, notably a success in the Spring Mile at Doncaster (Thunder Roar second) on reappearance; only midfield in the Spring Cup at Newbury next time but better when fourth at Leicester (1m, soft) last weekend, with old rival Thunder Roar a place ahead of him on that occasion. |

3 yo Filly
OR: 70
Success wouldn't be out of turn for this 3yo filly, who has been placed in five of her seven outings, close second at Yarmouth (7f, soft) most recently; bred to take well to this scenario, being half-sister to useful stablemate Astral Beau who readily won this year's Doncaster Mile on heavy ground; may be the answer.

10st 1lb |
Consistent maiden in her first season last year; made all at Wetherby (1m, soft; off 4lb lower) on reappearance, showing improvement; may well build on that win and have a productive 2024 campaign; shortlisted. |

28th Apr 2024 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Consistent maiden in her first season last year, solid second off this mark at Doncaster (7f, heavy) on final outing; threatening to win a race of this nature and is one for the shortlist on reappearance. |

In-form 3yo who opened his account at Catterick (7f, soft) two starts ago, then ran creditably at Chester (7.5f, heavy) latest; upped further in grade but receives weight all round; could go well again.

16th Sep 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
In fine form with cheekpieces on earlier in the season, winning 6f handicap at Catterick (soft) and finishing close second in three other races at up to 7.5f; back from a break; best with some give in the ground; chance. |
3/1 |

2nd 8 (3) |
18th Jun 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Both wins have come at this track, over this trip (soft) last September and over 6f (good to soft) 18 days ago; 4lb rise against better opposition this time but still likely to give a good account. |

Triple 6f winner as a 2yo; not in anything like the same form this season and still needs to prove she's trained on; step up to 7f presents an additional question mark.

9st 11lb |
Has dropped a long way in the weights and is 5lb lower than when runner-up in a big-field handicap at Newmarket (7f, heavy) last November; needs to better her three efforts since returning in March, though. |

6th May 2024 Soft 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |

Three wins, the latest over 6f at Pontefract in October 2022 (good to soft); good run when second over 7f at Newmarket in November (7f, heavy) but disappointing since. |

Beat nine rivals at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) this month, recording his first win since joining this yard; still on a workable mark despite going back up 4lb; effective at 7f and acts on heavy; shortlisted.

11th May 2024 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won on heavy at Catterick (7f) and did well to be placed back there on soft from an awkward draw, finishing just behind Wreck It Ryley who was ridden handier; has comparable form on this ground and has less to prove than some. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 3 (8) |
24th Apr 2024 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Bagged his second success of 2024 in C&D handicap three weeks ago, getting up late on; he goes well on soft ground so must enter calculations despite taking a 3lb rise. |
7/2 |
|
1st 2 (2) |
3rd Apr 2024 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Has won on soft but best turf efforts have been on a sounder surface; several creditable efforts on AW this winter but may find one or two too good back on grass. |

Inconsistent results for current stable but the return to Doncaster looks a plus, having won over C&D (good) in August; now 5lb higher in a better grade and faces very different ground.

2nd 4 (7) |
15th Sep 2024 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Reinvented as a sprinter in recent weeks, close up behind Dicko The Legend at York in July before winning at Newmarket and Redcar last month (both for Alex Jary); the latter win was backed up by the Topspeed figure and he's one to take seriously in his hat-trick bid. |
7/1 |

1st 1 (13) |
24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Ran well for fifth in a big field at York wen dropped to 6f last month and that was followed by a game front-running win at Newmarket last week (6f, good); 3lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run. |
4/1 |
|
6 (7) |
17th Aug 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
His British wins have come over 7f/1m but he ran well when fifth of 21 at York (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago on a rare crack at a sprint trip; another 1lb lower today and might not be far away. |
11/1 |

Form: 362041 D

Came off strong pace to win division two of 6f handicap at Pontefract 19 days ago (Beauty Choice won the first division); like that rival he's effective over 7f and acts on heavy; possibilities despite 4lb rise.

Has an 8lb higher mark on turf (5-59) than AW (0-7); has run with credit in his last two starts on grass, but his record suggests he may need this after three months off. |

Form dipped on AW last week and record stands at just 1-14; however, the success came at Nottingham (6f) three starts ago on sole heavy-ground attempt; interesting back on forecast similar surface.

Not fully exposed at 6f; ran no race in the Great St Wilfrid consolation at Ripon four weeks ago but he's better than that and it wouldn't be a huge surprise to see him bounce back. |

13th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Less than straightforward but he has found his niche for this yard as a sprinter and made it 2-2 at Nottingham with a narrow success (6f, good) in May; a 3lb rise is manageable and he's one of the likelier contenders. |
7/1 |

Form: 9-5270 CD

Has form figures of 212 over C&D, all on soft/heavy ground, the win gained off only 1lb lower in this race last year (runner-up in 2021); best effort this term when second here in May; respected back in this scenario.

A dual 7f scorer in 2022 but he ended last season well out of sorts; he returns from ten months off here with something to prove. |
