Took advantage of a drop in the weights to run out a ready winner of a 5f handicap at Wolverhampton seven weeks ago (good Topspeed figure); should remain competitive despite a 6lb hike.

9th Dec 2024 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Reeled off a four-timer on AW last winter (two of the wins here); may have needed his recent return to action (behind One Night Stand) but suspicion he's a bit high in the weights for now. |

23rd Nov 2024 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Four consecutive 5f wins on AW last winter, two over C&D; below best behind One Night Stand when last seen on sand in January and out of luck on turf since but only 3lb above his latest win and he could quite easily turn things round back here. |

Ran up a four-timer on the AW last autumn/winter, going 19lb up the weights; has finished last in two runs back off his lower turf mark but today's easier 5f should help. |

His four AW wins have come at Wolverhampton but he has run well over C&D; some good efforts off his lower turf mark this summer and when disappointing at Wolverhampton two weeks ago he was drawn wide; better expected this time.

Went from strength to strength on AW last winter and well suited by this C&D; often leads but Night On Earth (worse off at these weights) got the better of the early battle when this one came through for a clear win at Chelmsford in March; below best back there latest but can't rule out. |

Ended a long losing run at Wolverhampton in June; two solid placed efforts back from a four-month break last month and had more in hand over the runner-up than the neck margin suggests when winning over C&D 11 days ago; should remain competitive at this level.

24th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |

Dropped right out on his sole course run, in May, but comes into it on his best turf form and also some AW handicap runs over the winter; capable of a big run at this easier level. |

13th Jun 2024 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |

Now 15lb lower than when winning at Chelmsford last November; that is indicative of a decline in his form though and the return to turf didn't help matters at Bath three weeks ago. |

Successful in the corresponding race 12 months ago off a 10lb higher mark; in good form at present and when well backed here 11 days ago he saw no daylight in the closing stages, coasting home in third behind Josies Kid; has to enter calculations.

21st May 2024 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Has plenty of form at Brighton, most recently running-on second in C&D event on seasonal debut; ties in with I'm Mable on that effort; defied a 9lb higher mark here in 2022; one for the shortlist. |

9st 6lb |
Well treated on his Chelmsford win (5f, Polytrack) last November and he's run some good races this autumn including a third at Chelmsford on his penultimate run; should get a good pace to aim at on this drop back in grade and he has possibilities. |

Having dropped a long way in the weights he has returned to form in recent months, pipped at the post over C&D in September before a smooth C&D win 24 days ago (Josies Kid back in third); 2lb rise not excessive; leading contender.

10st 1lb |
Free-going front-runner; gained all seven wins over 5f on Polytrack but belied 33-1 odds when placed in Class 4 C&D race last month; 2lb lower today and could be very hard to catch in this grade. |

26th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Has done all his winning in lower-grade events on AW; turf record is far from solid; enough to prove back in this sphere and looks the least appealing contender. |

Four AW wins this year including two over C&D; only 2lb higher than for his Southwell win last month and a slow start held him back when fourth behind Bluebells Boy at Lingfield last time; has a 7lb swing in the weights with his old rival and he's respected back on Tapeta. |

Can start slowly and race freely once she finds her stride; third of four off this mark in a similar race last week and needs to raise her game. |

3rd 5 (1) |
27th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Record over C&D reads 13226 and she has dropped 1lb lower than when winning at Chelmsford last October; will need a solid pace to aim at and could do without missing the break, which she sometimes can. |
5/1 |
7th 2 (1) |
9th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Both wins have come on Polytrack but she's still lightly raced on turf and has placed at Goodwood (6f, good) and Lingfield (6f, good to firm) in her last two starts; usually comes from off the pace and has possibilities if this sets up for the closers. |
5/1 |
