Produced a sparking turn of foot to win a 1m4f handicap at Lingfield in January (1m4f), his fourth AW success; better form when second at Newcastle on Good Friday and could still have more to come on AW; conceding weight all round but could well be up to the task.

6th Mar 2023 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Generally progressive 4yo who improved his AW record to 4-10 when finishing well to score at Lingfield (1m4f, Polytrack) in January; still looks feasibly treated on that form but he was disappointing back at Lingfield 16 days ago and has bit to prove again after that 9l defeat. |

Won a 1m2f novice on Polytrack at Lingfield last September; successful return from 350-day absence in September, doing well to pull so far clear with one other in a slowly run race at Goodwood (1m2f, good); he'll need to improve again to make a winning handicap debut but that's highly likely given his profile and pedigree.

10st 3lb |
Justified favouritism at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) when last seen almost a year ago, showing that he goes well fresh having been absent for five months since debut; has been gelded since the win; represents top yard and is open to further progress; interesting on return to action. |

Three wins and a second from four C&D runs, the defeat coming behind an unexposed Godolphin winner; better than ever when picking up best to win a 1m2f Racing League handicap at Newcastle in August; struggled in the Cambridgeshire but further progress not ruled out back under conditions that suit so well.

30th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Won three in a row on AW (1m2f) last winter and, although he's yet to score on turf, he was a good third at Ascot (1m, good) in July; back to winning ways at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) last time and he has a steadily progressive profile, but today's rise in grade may find him out. |

9st 13lb |
Progressive at up to 2m on AW from last autumn to Good Friday; ran badly in last two spring starts but made an encouraging return to action (over 1m2f) two weeks ago and may well build on that effort; possibilities on first 1m6f attempt. |

He has been in fine form on AW form since the autumn, winning five times at up to this trip; good run of form came to a juddering halt switched to turf last month but no surprise to see him leave that well behind him back on Polytrack. |

Beaten narrowly by Cockalorum over C&D in August; comfortably beat his rivals at Goodwood (1m1f, soft) last Wednesday, ending a losing run that stretched back to his 2yo Listed win; not ordinarily an obvious type to follow up but holds a good chance under 5lb penalty provided he's in the same form again. |

She's just 2lb higher than when winning a competitive handicap at Ayr (1m2f, good) last September and could improve for her fair reappearance run here (10.2f, good to firm); today's first crack at 1m4f is worth a go and Serena Brotherton is a good booking; one to be interested in. |
11/1 |

7th 12 (13) |
19th May 2023 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Took a couple of runs to get going last year and below par when last seen; however, she's just 2lb higher than when winning a good race at Ayr (1m2f, good) last September and is not discounted; has won on fast ground. |
25/1 |
