Promise in maiden/novice company and he went close to justifying favouritism on his handicap debut at Leicester five weeks ago (7f, good to soft), picked off late having kicked for home over 1f out; should be quick enough to cope with 6f and the Leicester race has thrown up winners so a 3lb rise is fair; unexposed.

Beaten just a head at Leicester (7f, good) on July 6 and dead-heated for first at Doncaster (7f, soft) five days later; has run well on fast ground; up just 2lb for last time; this in-form 4yo could be bang there once more. |

16th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Not as good as he was in France where he gained his sole career success in early 2022; there's been the odd bit of promise this season since being gelded but 6f has looked his trip thus far. |

15th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Tumbled down weights for this yard but has only occasionally shown anything like his French ability; did well to finish as close as he did at Newbury (6f, good to firm) last month after completely blowing the start and this mark looks in range but he's not one for those of a nervous disposition. |

Yet to win this year but she's tackled some stronger handicaps and she has shaped encouragingly the last twice; stiff 6f shouldn't hold any terrors and she has run well in both AW assignments; stable banging in the winners and she's of obvious interest.

30th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Close fifth to Navello in the Dash at Epsom in 2023; three 5f wins on AW in midwinter (two from the front) but he's flagged on latest two starts, most recently in April, and is up against it on overall form; Oisin Murphy is a rare booking for yard, 0-2 in last five years (both second). |

Two-time C&D winner but he's on a long losing run; snippets of promise this year and just over 2l behind Snash here a fortnight ago; needs the cards to fall just right, however, and others appeal more.

28th Aug 2024 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Well treated on old form and he's run plenty of decent races this year; didn't get the breaks when fifth of 12 at Nottingham (6f, good) last time but his last win was in April 2022 and others are more persuasive. |

Consistency has been an issue for previous stables but he's joined a trainer on the up (sold 5,000gns last month) and he's not short of ability if it can be harnessed; this might be a shade too competitive but he's one to keep an eye on.

3rd Sep 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

All four AW successes have come over 6f on Tapeta, the latest from 6lb higher here late last year; stamina didn't look an issue when fourth of 12 over C&D 16 days ago (third has won since) and worth considering from 1lb lower. |
6/1 |

4th 5 (13) |
18th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Useful in his younger days but is inconsistent now and arrives in no form; on the positive side his record on Tapeta reads 1171010 and he's 5lb lower than when winning here last winter (6f); no surprise were he to pop up. |
12/1 |
