Form & Verdict

Resurgent 5yo who has already collected four wins this season, the latest at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm) two starts ago; slightly disappointing when only third over 1m2f there recently but still features prominently in calculations; effective on good to soft ground but unraced on anything slower.

Well placed by Tony Carroll to win five of his last seven races and he readily accounted for the favourite over C&D last week when the ground was heavy; that was a career-best RPR so he clearly revelled in the conditions; penalised.

Just did enough to defy a penalty at this course (1m4f) in June to make it four wins in five starts since returned to turf in May, three of those wins when ridden by Molly Gunn; back up another 4lb and back down in trip but he's thriving this summer and is hard to rule out; one of two runners for the stable.

Form & Verdict

Came good at fifth attempt, in six-runner handicap at Chepstow (1m4f, good to firm) in June; both subsequent runs (1m6f/1m5f) were perfectly respectable and the new cheekpieces might squeeze out something extra here.

Consolidated last month's Chepstow success (1m4f, good to firm) with a staying-on fourth over 1m6f at Yarmouth latest; further 1lb rise not ideal, but earlier third (short of room and value for closer finish) proved effectiveness on the Polytrack around here at least.

Front-runner with very modest 1-24 strike-rate, the win gained in basement-grade classified race at Kempton (1m3f, AW) in January; placed off today's mark handicap over that C&D last month but his latest run was disappointing and others have more pressing claims here.
