Appreciated the longer trip when off the mark at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) in December and followed up over this C&D the following month, but he became outpaced at a vital stage when third of five under his penalty back here six days ago; 3lb lower and a player if getting a better pace to aim at.

7th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |

Form dipped the last twice but has otherwise been very productive on AW/turf since last December, winning six times; good chance if progress is resumed. |

7th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
3yo who made it 6-9 in handicaps when completing a front-running hat-trick (1m-1m1f, soft-good) at Hamilton in June; only sixth off new mark at Hamilton last month following a 68-day break but he shouldn't be written off in view of his previous highly progressive form. |

13th Aug 2024 Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
3yo who made it five wins for the year and completed a hat-trick when making all over C&D (good) in June last time out; has also won on soft/good to soft; continues to climb the weights but he did it cosily last time and it remains to be seen where his limitations lie. |

OR: 62
Improved when switched to nurseries last summer (record 2212), his latest effort when beaten a head here (1m2f) in September; no problem with the return to this trip and the market should be informative now returning from 135 days off.

3rd Oct 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
His sole win was 13 months ago but he's placed in last three runs and his second at Catterick (1m4f) last time was behind a rival who was completing a hat-trick; now drops back to 1m but he's versatile trip-wise and is effective on Tapeta; shortlisted. |

Form: 44-422 CD

3 yo Gelding
OR: 63
The most exposed in the field with this his 13th start, but he likes it here with two wins (7f/1m) in the autumn and narrow defeats in his last two outings; up another 1lb, but his consistency means that he can't be left out of calculations.

3rd Dec 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Regularly placed here since recording back-to-back nursery wins at the track; his 7f pace should stand him in good stead given this is likely to get tactical but he does need to bounce back; cheekpieces return to replace blinkers. |

16th Nov 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Course regular whose two wins from 19 outings came here (7f/1m) last autumn; needs to put a poor run last time behind him (first for seven months) but that may have been needed; not discounted. |

Form: 66-75

3 yo Gelding
OR: 56
Not much in his first three starts and although he showed a bit more when fifth of 12 on handicap debut here (7f) 12 days ago, still finished 5l behind Likeashadow; the extra furlong should suit on pedigree, but more is needed.

2nd Oct 2024 Good To Soft 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Well suited by soft/heavy in his first two starts switched to cheekpieces, latterly winning easily off 7lb lower in a small field at Ffos Las (1m2f) when he saw the trip out very well; respectable third on Newcastle AW on latest outing; 1m4f had not previously looked a help (two attempts) but that was on fast ground in other headgear; interesting. |

Fourth in all starts last year including here (7f), but he didn't really progress; up a furlong on this return from six months off having been gelded since last seen; more needed, though market confidence would be interesting.

28th May 2024 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Contested his third handicap (second since gelded) when leading early and strong at the finish to get off the mark over 1m2f at Lingfield (AW) in March; had turf form last season but tailed off when front-running at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm) five weeks ago; needs overall improvement. |

Consistent efforts (4444) over 6f/7f last year; only fifth (disappointing favourite) over 1m at Newcastle on reappearance but may do better with the outing under his belt; steps up further in trip. |

3 yo Filly
OR: 67
Made a successful stable debut in a Chelmsford maiden (6f, Polytrack) last summer, but her form regressed towards the end of the campaign; not beaten far on her return from 109 days off at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) last month and she should stay the extra furlong, but others make greater appeal.

Temptingly handicapped on her peak nursery form at up to 7f, but several backwards steps this year and was never picking up in time on May's stable debut (1m); this wouldn't be any easier. |

Out of the frame in six starts over 6f-7f in Ireland last year and tailed off on stable debut at Wolverhampton (1m4f, Tapeta) ten days ago; not quite sure what to expect back down in trip with cheekpieces given a go.

29th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
0-6 in Ireland last year for John McConnell; sold for 1,000gns in December; has poor claims on balance of form and, upped markedly in distance, looks a doubtful stayer on breeding. |
20/1 |

8th 9 (2) |
22nd Nov 2023 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
8st 9lb |
First of her two nursery outings was respectable, fifth of 11 at Gowran despite meeting some trouble in running; hard to fancy after moderate Galway run, though perhaps the addition of a tongue-tie will help. |
8/1 |
