No longer the force of old but has enjoyed a mini-revival and has won twice this season (11.4f/1m6f); makes quick reappearance after respectable fourth here (1m6f, good to firm) a week ago; probably won't be far away.

17th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 5f 11y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Veteran who's versatile regarding trip and ground and is enjoying a good season; just signs that this mark, which is 3lb higher than when last winning, has proved beyond him the past twice but he should go well once more. |

OR: 58
A maiden after eight starts but scores fairly good marks for her consistency and was keeping on well at the end of 1m2f when midfield at Chepstow (good) last month; 2lb lower here and the move back up in trip ought to suit; each-way claims at least.

30th Aug 2024 Heavy 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Still a maiden and last season's form reads better than this, but she might be turning a corner after running well over C&D last time (soft) and she's never been lower in the weights. |

18th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Placed in all five runs in novice/maiden company, including twice over C&D, but she has only managed fifth, beaten 7l or more, in two handicap runs; may have needed her reappearance seven weeks ago and now dips into Class 6 company; not solid but improvement is a possibility. |

4 yo Filly
OR: 56
Dual AW winner this year (1m6f/2m) and came second off today's mark on turf at Lingfield (2m, good to firm) in June; may not have handled good to soft ground when disappointing on latest outing but still has something to prove after that performance, and this drop back in trip is not sure to suit.

Both wins on AW, off 1lb lower; ran creditably on turf at Lingfield (2m) in June but subsequent efforts leave something to be desired; not the percentage call. |

7th 3 (12) |
14th Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Both wins have come this year, firstly at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) in January and then at Chelmsford (2m, Polytrack) in May; well held on turf the last twice, but holds claims now back on an AW surface. |

OR: 62
Displayed improvement when runner-up in two 1m2f handicaps for Sir Mark Prescott in May but was very disappointing odds-on favourite on next outing and then sold for £9,000 last month; could quite plausibly have untapped potential over this new trip but it's hard to know what to expect from him on debut for new stable.

6th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Front-running second in two of three handicaps for Sir Mark Prescott (flopped next time) before sold for £9,000 in July; upped to 1m4f by new trainer at Ffos Las (soft) one month ago and made the breakthrough, in last-gasp fashion which gives hope for this longer trip; up 4lb but in the mix. |

29th Jun 2024 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Lost out only narrowly when upped to 1m2f for last month's seasonal/handicap debut at Beverley (good to firm) and also ran well from the front when clear second at Chepstow (1m2f, good to soft) four weeks ago; needs to prove he's effective on Polytrack, but is probably still on a good mark. |

Disappointed when favourite on penultimate start and faded into fifth after racing a bit too freely on latest outing, but ran big race from the front when third on seasonal/handicap debut at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) in May and may yet build on that performance; tries a new trip today.

Ran a good race from the front when third on seasonal/handicap debut at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) in May but that's as good as it has been this season; only sixth of eight when encountering soft here last time; now in cheekpieces. |

Two near-misses this summer (good/soft) before winning last month at Ffos Las (1m4f, heavy) and Windsor (11.4f, soft); up another 2lb but this test looks sure to suit. |

14th Aug 2024 Soft 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Struck at Brighton in April but he might not be one for the faint-hearted as he was beaten when trading at 1.44 in running at Hamilton last month and 1.01 in the run over C&D (soft) last week; still has solid place claims off same mark as last time. |

Unplaced all six starts; arguably ran better than bare form suggests when sixth of eight at Leicester (1m2f, good to soft) last month but needs combination of extra 2f and first-time cheekpieces to generate improvement.

Seven-race maiden who has yet to be placed; wasn't beaten far when a rallying fifth at Ffos Las (1m4f, soft) last week but she needs to find more more on this return to fast ground; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces. |

Out of a very useful half-sister to Group 1 winner Creative Force and Persuasive; did not live up to his pedigree when well beaten in three 1m2f novice/maiden races but improvement is possible in handicaps; upped in trip with visor added today.
