15th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Four-time winner over hurdles but just 1-15 on the Flat; very nearly caused 40-1 surprise over C&D (good) in July and is only 1lb higher today but his stablemate Al Sayah has a much more compelling profile. |

Almost sprang a 40-1 shock at Bath three weeks ago, going down narrowly off a 2lb lower mark; finished well beaten on his only previous AW run (over C&D a year ago) and lacks consistency, however. |

2m winner in this sphere; stayer on the Flat; not disgraced over C&D (good) returned to hurdles but his effort rather petered out after pulling hard; chance partly depends on whether he settles better. |

11st 1lb |
Ordinary mare who has a strike-rate of just 3-30 and has gained both handicap wins off lower marks in Class 5, the most recent in October; in-form contender but this looks a difficult task. |
16/1 |

12th Nov 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Exploited her reduced mark at Cartmel (2m6f, good) in June and scored again at Plumpton (3m1f, good to soft) three weeks ago; back up another 6lb but did it well last time and her peak form in 2022 was a bit better. |

Not beaten far over hurdles on stable debut in June and may have found the good ground too lively when below that form next time but this chase return comes after a four-month break; others have more pressing claims. |

25th Jul 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Went close on his last two starts for Evan Williams last season and wasn't beaten far after suffering some interference on stable debut at Hexham (2m7f, soft); seems to need some cut underfoot to show best form. |

Now 7lb lower than when runner-up over C&D in April and the return to this track offers a glimmer of hope; however, this 11yo has finished down the field on both outings this autumn and needs to turn things around. |

6th Nov 2024 Good 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Has four wins over hurdles, the latest at Hereford (3m1f, good to firm) last October off 2lb higher mark; well held on reappearance at Hereford (2m3f, good) last month; cheekpieces refitted but she looks vulnerable to less exposed rivals. |
20/1 |

14th Oct 2024 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
4-44 over hurdles, the latest win gained here (3m1f, good to firm) a year ago; ought to cope fairly well with today's drop back in trip and returns from break on a workable mark but some of the unexposed ones look more interesting. |
7/1 |
