In and out this year but his last two runs over 5f have seen him finish second here (behind Woobay) and at Musselburgh (both good ground); should give it another good go.

Runner-up on three of his last four starts, most recently in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Ripon (5f, good) 11 days ago; last win came on soft ground; each-way contender off the same mark as last time. |

Three wins in 2023, including C&D, and he's run some good races in defeat this season; latest second at Hamilton has been franked by the winner; has the rail draw on this drop in grade; leading contender.

9st 5lb |
On a lowly mark again but he's been beaten at 3-1 or shorter on his last three starts and there weren't any obvious excuses at Ripon 18 days ago; capable at this level but may have to make do with more minor money. |

9st 13lb |
Having dropped down the weights he returned to form with a good second off this mark at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) last Friday; contender if conditions suit (effective on good to soft but might not want soft nowadays). |

Latest effort behind Beyond Equal off his much higher (outdated) AW mark is best ignored and he'd previously been in good form; isn't as good or consistent as he was but remains capable at this level. |

Has generally struggled since her Ripon win (6f, good) last September but she showed signs of a revival when third there (5f, good) two weeks ago; has claims if she can build on that but she's drawn out wide here and could have competition for the lead. |
12/1 |

3rd 8 (2) |
5th Aug 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Inconsistent filly who's done most racing over 6f and finished well held in a few tries over this trip; is now 4lb lower than when winning here last autumn but she's generally struggled this season. |

Made all to win a 5f maiden handicap at Redcar in June (good to firm) and he followed up at Thirsk (good to soft) one month later; came up short in his hat-trick bid at Doncaster but that was a race in which those held up came to the fore; can do better today.

2-2 since reverting to front-running tactics in June, the wins gained over 5f at Redcar (good to firm) and Thirsk (good to soft); latest 4lb rise demands more from him but he's evidently in very good nick. |

Won a Catterick novice (5f, soft) in April but he's struggled in two of his three handicaps since including when beaten 15l at Nottingham (6f; tongue-tie added) last time; now drops back in trip but he's untried on fast ground and others are more convincing. |

Game effort to see off Our Absent Friends over C&D last month (good ground) and she ran well for a close fourth at York 19 days later; fluffed the start when a warm favourite here three weeks ago; type to bounce back quickly.

C&D win a month ago (off 2lb lower) came from a wide stall and she backed that up at York, especially considering a slow start left her on the back foot; goes on the shortlist. |
5/2 |

4th 13 (8) |
27th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Back in the groove for her new yard, second at Ayr before winning at Ripon the following day (both 5f, good); the beaten horses there haven't done much for the form and she'll need more if she is to follow up in this field. |
6/1 |
