Disappointing favourite and co-favourite in his first two handicaps but the blinkers went on at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago and he won that six-runner race in good style; 8lb higher today but may have turned a corner and has to be taken seriously.

7th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 6f 1y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Disappointing favourite and co-favourite in his first two handicaps but has turned a major corner with blinkers fitted for his two starts since, winning at Salisbury and Newbury (both 1m4f on good to firm); first off the bridle turning for home last time, before leading on the post, which sees a switch of headgear today (off 6lb higher mark) but also a step up in trip which has to make appeal; leading player. |

Some AW placings early this year and she was back from 132 days off when good third of seven in handicap at Sandown (1m2f, good) last month on turf debut; there was encouragement in that performance for another crack at 1m4f.

Winning hurdler in Ireland but now doing well on the Flat and he came clear with a subsequent winner in winning a 1m2f soft-ground maiden at Pontefract; posted an RPR that suggests this mark should be okay and the longer trip almost certainly will be; has handled fast ground before; respected. |

Has been much more potent on the Flat than over hurdles, including with two 1m4f wins last winter, but that form was on AW; fair third of seven at Sandown (1m2f, good) on latest outing but he needs to build on that; first-time cheekpieces join the usual tongue-tie.

Better on the Flat than over hurdles, last time running respectably over 1m4f in this new headgear combination; however, was placed off this mark in his final jumps run three months ago and he's a likely contender. |

First-time hood (also worn on second start this term) when ending last season with a narrow 7f AW novice win; never going on handicap debut in June (1m, good) but keeping-on fourth of seven at Sandown (1m2f, good) was better; needs to build on that too but it may be possible, raised in trip again.

Not beaten far in a Group 2 as 2yo but has no other form anywhere near that; steered clear of handicaps until today, seemingly wisely so given his initial marks; while this looks a much more realistic mark and he's been placed in 1m2f/1m3f novice events on last two outings, he needs better in today's first-time headgear.

A fairly useful 1m2f winner for the Gosdens in 2023; won a soft-ground maiden hurdle this February but refused to race in first-time cheekpieces once in April; creditable runs when wearing that headgear back on Flat on last two starts but they don't suggest he's on a great mark; last season's blinkers now return.
