Capitalised on the drop into Class 5 company when coming from off the pace to win a C&D handicap ten days ago (soft) in good style; unpenalised for that apprentice race success (7lb well in) and has to feature prominently in calculations.

13th Aug 2024 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Down the field the last twice (5f, AW) and something to prove regarding current form but he's 7lb lower than when runner-up at Thirsk (5f, soft) in April and a slow surface would probably aid his cause; not ruled out. |
11/4 |

7th 5 (7) |
6th Jul 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

He's 4lb lower than when finishing second twice in a row in the spring (5f, AW/soft); however, he hasn't quite been at the same level since and needs to raise his game. |

Unexposed 4yo; tough draw at Chester on his seasonal return and latest sixth at Thirsk came in a race that represents hot sprint handicap form; dropped another 2lb since and he remains capable of a bigger effort.

7th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Lightly raced 4yo whose career has had some interruptions since he won his first two starts (good/good to soft); has improved with each of his three runs this season and went close at Hamilton (5f, heavy) a fortnight ago; not discounted but his claims may be dented if the ground dries out. |

He has finished second in all five runs for Julie Camacho, all at 6f on ground ranging from good to firm from heavy; should be quick enough for 5f here and he's a strong contender despite sneaking up the weights.

Well suited by slow ground; has won over C&D and he comes here on the back of a comfortable win at Chester four weeks ago; up 4lb in a better race but he's been rated much higher in the past; solid chance.

27th Jul 2024 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
A few good runs to his name this year, including here three starts back, but he was soon struggling when a big outsider in big field at York (good to firm) on Friday; ground softer than good would be preferred for him. |

26th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Become more difficult to win with in recent years and although he's run several good races in defeat this year, he would be more appealing over 5f and on softer ground. |

Back up to 6f for first time since 2022 but he kept on well over 5.5f at Chester in July, and over 5f on heavy at Hamilton last time, and this trip is worth another go; won at Hamilton (5f) last month; not discounted. |

A wind operation in June worked the oracle as she ended her losing run at Newcastle three weeks later; bad draw when down the field at York since; effective over C&D and she's one to take seriously.

Showed the benefit of wind surgery when scoring at Newcastle two weeks ago, typically produced at the last moment; just as effective on turf and a 3lb rise is manageable, but she's done nearly all her recent racing at the minimum trip and 6f is a slight concern. |

28th Jun 2024 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Losing run up to 13, but having dropped in the weights her last two efforts have been encouraging as when second of nine at Carlisle (5f, good to soft) four weeks ago (has since undergone wind surgery); suited by a stiff track and respected from the same mark as last time. |

Did plenty wrong but still won in good style at Ayr in May when dropped to this trip; expensive to follow since but he can be given a pass for his latest effort as he saw no daylight at a crucial stage; up in class and others look more persuasive.

Quirky sort who has one piece of Hamilton form; ran creditably at Musselburgh most recently; however, still seeking first success away from Ayr and doesn't look the percentage call. |
9/2 |
