OR: 89
Lightly raced 4yo; won a maiden on final start last term and a novice on first this season, both 7f Kempton AW; 1m at Royal Ascot did not work out but she resumed progress when a close third of 12 at Doncaster (7f, good) in her second turf run, hooded for the first time and perhaps finding herself in front too soon (over 1f out); big shout if she adapts to this track.

sweating, swerved right start, took keen hold, in touch with leaders, switched to centre 3f out, pushed along 2f out, ridden to lead over 1f out, idled final 110yds, always doing enough |

OR: 77
Won on good to soft as 2yo; seems to have settled at a fair level this season for new yard but winning so well at Beverley (7.4f; made all) on penultimate start has resulted in 11lb higher mark today, which looks tough.

9st 5lb |
Made all to win readily by over 5l at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) ten days ago and is now 2-7 for Michael Appleby since the spring; may not be allowed things all his own way here but is 6lb ahead of the handicapper under his 5lb penalty. |

5 yo Colt
OR: 94
Has won on soft but better form when it's not that testing; a Group 3 fourth scuppered his handicap mark for the second half of last term but he was short-headed off a reduced mark at Newmarket (7f, good) this May; well held at Royal Ascot and ran poorly in the Bunbury Cup, but this is a big step down in class.

Won on heavy as 2yo; this season he scored at Newbury (7f, good to firm) in June and Newmarket (first go at 1m, good to soft) in July; ran creditably on last two outings and should not be far away.

7th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Multiple winner at a lower level, most recently at Newmarket in July; creditable fourth, again in Class 3, the last twice; has nothing in hand off current mark and looks well exposed in this stiffer grade, being 0-11 in Class 2; opposed. |

10th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 37y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Won at Newbury (7f, good to firm) in June and also at Newmarket (good to soft) last month on his first crack at 1m; unsuited by steady pace when mid-division at Ascot a fortnight ago and remains unexposed at today's trip; three visits here have yielded two wins and he's one to consider. |

3 yo Gelding
OR: 95
Twice made all (Chester and Thirsk) in his three novice races, latterly on good to soft; made most but well held when second favourite for handicap debut at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 16 days ago, suggesting he's not on the best of marks; it's unchanged today but these are early days for him.

Two wins from three attempts in novices, gamely making all at Thirsk (7f, good to soft; unraced on firmer than good) last month; retains untapped potential now handicapping; must be considered. |

Consistent 3yo whose run of minor honours includes a second at Glorious Goodwood (7f, good to firm; acts on good to soft); wore cheekpieces last two starts, now it's blinkers; should be thereabouts.

15th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Consistent 3yo who kept on well for 3l second at Glorious Goodwood (7f, good to firm) recently in first-time cheekpieces (retained); on that latest evidence today's first crack at 1m is well worth a go; he's a possible. |
15/2 |

2nd 14 (5) |
3rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Has proved consistent since reappearance win (6f, AW) and posted a particularly solid effort at Lingfield on penultimate start (7.5f, good; winner franked the form here on Tuesday); seems a tad quirky but may well benefit from the first-time headgear; figures highly in calculations. |

3 yo Gelding
OR: 95
3yo who tried Group/Listed events last year after a winning debut; it's been handicaps this term, easily best of those efforts when second over 7f at Goodwood in June, 11 days before a fruitless second crack at 1m (Royal Ascot); left Jane Chapple-Hyam for 100,000gns in July and has his first start since; not dismissed back at 7f.

Bits of useful form over 7f for Jane Chapple-Hyam; failed to get home and eventually well held in the Britannia over C&D on last appearance; sold for 100,000gns since; still has something to prove at this trip. |

20th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Not disgraced in Group/Listed company last year after a winning debut; quiet on his reappearance (handicap debut) but then ran well behind one who got loose on the lead over Goodwood's 7f (good); can win races off this mark but perhaps not this one. |
33/1 |
