Both wins on turf, most recently in July 2022; very useful form in 2023, on Tapeta elsewhere (1m) and when first home on his side in valuable 7f Ascot handicap, but latest two runs, on turf and Polytrack, haven't been anything special and this is his first 6f run since a winning 2yo debut.

Both turf wins on soft and won a Listed race on AW in November; ducks and dives regarding the trip but he nearly made his first 6f turf handicap a winning one at Goodwood recently; back up 4lb but has course form at 7f; interesting. |

Ended unbeaten 3yo season by charging clear in Group 3 over C&D last June; had niggling setbacks since and hasn't appreciated the new experience of testing ground following 15 months off (in a Group 1 last time); this surface looks sure to suit better and it's fair to keep the faith for now.

21st Oct 2023 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Looked a potential top-notcher when rattling off a hat-trick of wins in the first half of 2022, trouncing the progressive Annaf in Newcastle Group 3 (6f, AW) for the last of them; off 455 days and weak in the market when only third of five in similar event at Newbury (5f, heavy) on reappearance four weeks ago; carries risks after that below-par return, but the run might have blown away the cobwebs and today's step back up in trip should suit. |
12/1 |

3rd 5 (2) |
23rd Sep 2023 Heavy 0m 5f 34y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Beaten a head on debut but she won her next four starts, notably a defeat of a respected rival in a Group 3 at Newcastle when last seen 455 days ago (6f, AW); her British Champions Sprint entry gives an idea of the regard she's held in but she's raced exclusively on good or quicker when on turf and she's never tackled 5f; good claims on ratings but there are risks. |

Missed a chunk of his career but has shown what a high-quality sprinter he is when sharing a major 6f handicap at York in August and later finishing a close fourth of 24 in the Ayr Gold Cup in September; not for the first time he subsided on testing ground last month but of interest now switched to the AW (dam and two of her siblings won on Polytrack).

In his element in heavy-ground handicaps for new yard, winning the 6f Stewards' Cup at Glorious Goodwood and over 5f at Doncaster recently; had comparable form on Polytrack earlier in career and romped away on Wolverhampton Tapeta in June but his Newcastle form is a worry, a Group 3 defeat being easily excused but the last to finish in two subsequent handicaps.

Badly out of the winning habit, being 0-15 this year (disappointing favourite last time); however, usually runs in better races and now drops back in class off a stone below last winning mark; not ruled out. |

Soft ground is ideal as he showed when beating nine rivals in this event 12 months ago; 0-16 since but the handicapper has given him a real chance and he was better than the result when fourth to Vintage Clarets at Catterick last week; proving expensive to follow but has lots in his favour here. |

One of three Tapeta wins in January came over 5f here (the others at 6f and 7f); tough filly who has retained her form really well in a long season but hard to see her up to this task at the weights.

Has work to do on these terms and was never in contention when dropped to 6f at Newmarket last month (soft) but had hinted earlier that a sprint trip wouldn't be a forlorn hope and the return to Tapeta is worth a go, having won impressively at Wolverhampton (7f) on final 2yo start.

Has raced mostly at 7f+ and was one of the first off the bridle in this race last year (soft) before reducing the deficit to about 4l behind Funny Story; retains ability for new yard but has plenty to find at the weights and she didn't run well at Ascot last week; now has cheekpieces added. |
