10th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Recorded an RPR of 83 when third at Chelmsford in May, the last time he ran on an artificial surface; some modest recent efforts on turf have seen his AW mark drop 6lb and he's too well treated to ignore. |

2nd Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Well handicapped on some placed efforts on AW and turf in May/June but he's been well held in his last two runs (7f/6f); has something to prove again and he's managed just one win since August 2022. |

Form of narrow defeat over C&D in August has worked out well in the meantime and he was winning for the first time since his racecourse debut when making all at Yarmouth (6f, good) three weeks later; looked as though he would appreciate going back up in trip when second of 11 at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) last time; respected.

1lb below last winning mark and didn't enjoy the clearest of runs when fourth of six at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) ten days ago; has won over this trip, but there's a suspicion another furlong suits him ideally. |

Handy sort who has won three times here, the latest a narrow success over 1m in September; ran just as well when third of 12 from a wide draw at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) last month and should make his presence felt from the same mark.

Back off the same mark as when successful at Newmarket (6f, good) in August and is at least as effective over this far; now 0-14 on the AW, though, and others make greater appeal.

Loves it here and ran right up to best when narrowly beaten over C&D two weeks ago by a horse who has since followed up; handles good to soft ground as well as good to firm and he's a straightforward ride; solid chance. |

2nd 2 (6) |
9th Aug 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Narrowly won this race last year and returns off a 5lb higher mark after going up 6lb for a convincing win back here 20 days ago; another big run looks on the cards. |

Twice ran well returned to the AW at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack) last month, finishing third of 11 (just behind Sir Oliver) and going down by a neck five days later; 1lb rise merely puts him back on his last winning mark, but he is another drawn wider than ideal.

Needs to bounce back from heavy defeat at Newcastle, where more than just the 1m trip was amiss; however, he's won twice over 7f this year and is handicapped to be in the mix if back on song. |

14th 4 (14) |
22nd Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
All of his wins have come over 7f but he hasn't had many chances at 1m and seems to stay the trip; has won twice this year and has posted reasonable efforts the last twice; effective here and might not be far away. |
14/1 |

11th 17 (9) |
27th Jul 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Currently in good form but incurs a penalty for his success in lower grade at Doncaster (7f) two starts ago; much more exposed than some of these rivals, including stablemate New Image, and faces a difficult task. |

Front-runner who won three times over 6f/7f here in his younger days and now 5lb below his last winning mark, but not shown a great deal since summer 2022 including in two starts after returning from a lengthy absence in September; stable also runs Okami.

10st 2lb |
A wind op in April has done the trick, winning at Catterick (7f, good) and placed in four of his five runs since; not favoured by weights and usually seen over 7f but looks more likely to give his running than some. |

21st Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 4 |

3rd 14 (8) |
26th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Won at Catterick (7f, good) in April following wind surgery and bumped into progressive winners when runner-up the next twice (7f, good); good to soft ground may have been against him when well beaten at Catterick last time and it will be no surprise if he bounces back with a big performance. |

Three wins over 7f on turf this year, but despite having gone off the boil the last twice he remains 4lb higher than for his latest success and was well beaten over C&D in his only AW start; has worn headgear for some time, but today's blinkers are a first.

5th Dec 2023 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

Three narrow wins on Polytrack for Roger Varian between July and September, including over C&D; didn't enjoy a smooth passage when behind three of these at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack) last month, since when he has changed hands for 17,000gns; needs to get back on track.

Seven-race maiden who ran well a couple of times for Richard Hannon as when third of five on his handicap debut/reappearance at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) in March; didn't build on it in two subsequent starts and makes his stable debut after 192 days off having changed hands for 15,000gns in May and been gelded; probably best watched.

The winner of four races when trained by the Johnstons, two here over 7f; close second at Lingfield last month (1m) after which she changed hands for 16,000gns; stamina for this trip has to be taken on trust but it's a move that looks well worth exploring. |
