20th Sep 2024 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Contested handicaps on last three outings, easily best form when scoring comfortably at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm; favourite) on second occasion; two runs this term, including latest, prompt concerns if the ground is softer than good; this is also a new trip and she has headgear first time. |

5th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Made it two wins from her five starts when scoring at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) last month in her second handicap; did it comfortably and a 6lb rise may not stop her if conditions are suitable (unproven on slow ground). |

Four wins over 1m, including off this mark and 4lb higher, for previous yard; couple of encouraging efforts for new stable, keeping-on second over 1m2f at Doncaster (good to firm) latest; nicely handicapped and is unexposed at this trip; interesting contender. |

10st 1lb |
Good efforts in just two 1m2f handicaps for this stable, doing well against a progressive one at Newmarket (good; has won on soft) then things didn't go his way after another slow start at Doncaster in August; the return to a stiff finish can suit; has every chance. |

Inconsistent but returned to form in first-time cheekpieces (retained) when runner-up at Newmarket (1m2f, good) a fortnight ago; has run well over an extended 1m4f in the past and he's one to consider; tongue-tie added. |

Operating at a lower level than he used to and there have been several solid efforts for his new yard this year; will need to raise his game to come out on top though. |

Series of good runs last season, notably when justifying favouritism in this race (soft) off 7lb lower; also won in Abu Dhabi in January (1m4f, good) and wasn't disgraced back here four weeks ago after six months off, albeit having been backed into second favouritism; needs overall improvement and 5lb claimer is enlisted. |

10st 8lb |
Respectable fourth over C&D (good) last month but followed that with a poor run at Doncaster and he effectively refused to race in blinkers (which are quickly discarded) at Beverley a fortnight ago; hard to know what to expect. |

Consistency is an issue but he's on a good mark on this year's best, notably a close third at Thirsk in May; blinkers tried for the first time, which could be significant as the only other occasion he's worn headgear resulted in a Brighton win last summer (cheekpieces when trained by W Haggas). |
