He has been in better form than his figures suggest since returning from a stint in Bahrain, including his run here at the Dante meeting when he raced closest to the stands' rail; ran a cracker from a poor draw in this race 12 months ago and returns off a 4lb lower mark; last four visits to York have all produced good efforts and a big run can be expected.

9st 7lb |
Fairly quiet start to the campaign but he's come good with a vengeance of late, winning over 5.5f at the York Ebor meeting and a close third in the Portland at Doncaster; a repeat of either effort would see him bang there once again; seems to handle most ground; first run at Ascot. |

Some good efforts this year and he kept on well to win in a big field at York's Ebor meeting (5.4f, good to firm) last month; he has a solid record at York and this is his first run here, but a 4lb rise for last time isn't harsh and there can be hope he'll be fine with the extra yardage; respected. |

He was well backed when winning a small-field C&D handicap in May but even his most fervent supporters would have struggled to envisage the progress that has followed this summer, adding six more sprint handicaps and soaring up the weights; better than ever when second at York's Ebor meeting (5.5f, good to firm) last month, form that has been well advertised since; races off the same mark today and he is one of two good chances for Jim Goldie. |

Progressive 3yo who has won two of his last three starts (5f, good to firm/good) with a keeping-on fifth of 22 at York (5.4f) in between; yard won this last year and a 3lb rise for Haydock last Saturday may not stop him. |

He'd been bubbling away prior to capitalising on a good opportunity at Chester two weeks ago (5f, good to soft), produced down the outside to win with much more authority than the neck margin suggests (idled a bit when hitting the front); a 3lb rise still leaves him well handicapped on even his 2024 best; has run to form on each of his three visits to Ascot and he's a strong contender in a race that should be run to suit. |

21st Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Came from off the pace to win a 5f handicap at the Curragh 11 days ago (5f, good to firm); 3lb rise for that looks fair enough but this is a much stiffer assignment. |

Nottingham winner last month (5f, good) and his second on AW three weeks ago (6f) represented better form; last of six behind Jordan Electrics at Hamilton two days later; up against it.

Made all in this race 12 months ago off a 4lb higher mark; mixed bag this time around but he retains plenty of dash and getting back on slow ground is in his favour; not dismissed off a featherweright. |

Often leads; multiple 5f wins but he's never really hacked it at 6f, even allowing for a close fourth in the 2021 Bronze Cup; needs much more than in this race last year, when making the running before fading. |

Two agonising defeats in midsummer at Windsor and Doncaster; ran respectably at Haydock last time without suggesting he is the answer to a competitive race such as this.

Something to find on these terms and Mia Nicholls can't claim usual 5lb; however, this front-runner has won two handicaps this year (5f, good) and was a good third at Doncaster last time; won in 2022 on sole run here; could make a bold bid if conditions suit (may not want slow ground nowadays). |

15th Sep 2024 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |

Fast front-runner who has won 5f handicaps at Newmarket and Sandown this season; last two runs not the ones to judge him on, tackling a Listed race on his penultimate start and then drawn on the wrong side at the Ebor meeting; should run his race but might find a few finishing stronger. |

Threatened better on occasions last season and he's really clicked this time around, running well in big-field handicaps at Ascot and here in May before winning here (6f, good to soft) in June and bolting up in a Shergar Cup race 11 days ago (5f, good); up 10lb since that latest win but this trip could be ideal; stall 22 and fast ground are the two potential stumbling blocks.

Won at York (6f, good to soft) in June and followed up in dominant fashion here (5f, good); returned to form with close seventh of 22 in the Portland at Doncaster (5.6f, good) three weeks ago and, while he needs to raise his game, he's now back at the scene of his career-best performance; chance. |

14th Sep 2024 Good 0m 5f 143y Class 2 |

Having shot up the weights he was well beaten at York last time but had an unfavourable draw and the fast ground may not have suited; highly progressive previously this summer with wins at York (6f, good to soft) and Ascot (5f, good) and he could bounce back and play a leading role. |

Close fifth to Navello in the Dash at Epsom in 2023; three 5f wins on AW in midwinter (two from the front) but he's flagged on latest two starts, most recently in April, and is up against it on overall form; Oisin Murphy is a rare booking for yard, 0-2 in last five years (both second). |

It may have been only a Class 4 handicap he won at Redcar in June (5f, good to firm; cheekpieces on for the first time) but it has worked out extremely well; didn't look in love with the track when seventh behind Shagraan at Goodwood three weeks ago; still has time to do better and the yard knows what is required in this race.

Usually leads; off the mark over 6f last summer but the drop to 5f in first-time cheekpieces proved the making of him when down in grade at Redcar (good to firm) in June; up 10lb and in class but unexposed over the trip and his yard has won two of the last ten runnings. |
