Looked as though he might be on the way back when close up in fifth in the Great St Wilfrid consolation event at Ripon in August but no excuses over C&D next time and he was well beaten on slow turf last time; down in class so can't dismiss completely given an AW record of 2-3.

Improved AW record to 3-4 when landing a gamble in a Class 5 over C&D 15 days ago; full value for that win and a 2lb rise looks all the more generous after the runner-up went in last week; of obvious interest. |

Her two course wins have come over 7f but she was successful over 5f on turf in July and it was over that trip that she was making some good late headway here 25 days ago; that form has already received several boosts and she's interesting back up in distance.

Useful 2yo but she's found it extremely tough in a truncated 3yo campaign; drop to a Class 5 fillies' handicap here last month didn't prompt a revival and the accessories worn there are now left off; another 5lb lower today and could yet come good,

Ended 2022 with a C&D win off a 15lb higher mark; 0-11 this year and although there have been flickers of promise, he's essentially been disappointing; wouldn't judge him too harshly on his latest Wolverhampton run (little got into it from the rear) and this track should suit him better; not discounted with Paul Mulrennan back on board.

C&D win last October came off a 17lb higher mark; 0-12 this year but he's run in some competitive sprints and this should be more to his liking; eyecatching run over C&D two weeks ago (Class 5) and this should be run to suit; much more appealing than his form figures might suggest. |

Of interest on his best form for Rod Millman (both wins over 6f on Tapeta); 80-1 and tailed off on heavy ground on this month's stable debut (7f); this should be more suitable.

Best form for Rod Millman came on AW; well beaten in June on final outing for that yard (6f, good to firm; sold for 13,000gns since) and he's unraced on slow turf; however, he was a good third at Leicester (7f, good to firm) two starts ago and is not written off on his stable debut. |

27th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Best form has come on the AW including both wins, but he ran well when third of seven at Leicester (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago; races off the same mark and tongue-tie returns, but he's quite exposed for a 3yo after 19 starts and likely to find a few too good; stable took this last year. |
