5 yo Colt
OR: 89
Fair stayer on the Flat at his best (four wins); has not shown much in his qualifying runs over hurdles (2m-2m3f) but soft ground was probably unsuitable for him at Uttoxeter last month and he ought to be more competitive in this low-grade handicap.

9th Jul 2024 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Four-time Flat winner, most recently in low-grade AW handicap (1m6f; RPR 68) on stable debut in February, but yet to show anything more than minor promise after three hurdling starts. |
25/1 |

30th May 2024 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Four minor wins over staying trips on the Flat; wasn't disgraced at a massive price on hurdling debut at Ascot (2m3f, good) in March but he unseated at Cheptow next time and was disappointing back the Flat 19 days ago; opposable. |

OR: 83
Beaten about 15l when fourth on handicap debut at Cartmel (2m1f, good; first-time tongue-tie) six weeks ago but that still goes down as a good effort and he might be seen to better effect over today's longer trip.

20th Jul 2024 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Maiden pointer who has shown nothing more than minor promise in three novice/maiden hurdles at Worcester (all 2m, good) this season; open to improvement in handicaps, though; tongue-tie fitted for first time. |

0-7 over hurdles and absent since his keeping-on third at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) one year ago but returns on a 4lb lower mark and has a decent chance if fully tuned up.

30th Aug 2023 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |

Only beaten two lengths when fourth at Bangor this month on his return from a break; yet to tackle this trip but mark unchanged and better chances than most if he stays. |
5/1 |
|
4th 9 |
4th Aug 2023 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Became disappointing on the Flat last year; suggested he might be able to win over hurdles when dead-heat third on handicap debut at Market Rasen (2m, good to soft) in February but next run was a backward step; returns from five-month break; others have more persuasive profiles. |

OR: 69
Irish point winner in spring 2023 but 0-8 under rules; put two poor performances behind her when respectable fifth at Market Rasen (2m4f, good) last month but still makes only limited appeal off same mark here.

7th Jul 2024 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Irish point winner in spring 2023; not beaten far when eighth on handicap debut at Huntingdon (2m3f, good; wore cheekpieces) in April but pulled up twice since (chase/hurdle; blinkers tried last time), and it takes a leap of faith to support him here. |
12/1 |

14th Jun 2024 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Point winner (3m); has toiled under rules, failing to complete in three of his last four starts, including when never travelling over fences at Uttoxeter (3m; 9-2 favourite) last week; blinkers hastily applied back over hurdles seeking a basic spark. |

Triple Flat winner in France; 0-6 over hurdles but went close at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good) in first-time cheekpieces in June and didn't run badly over 2m6f last month; tried in a visor here; could have a say.

Well beaten at triple-digit odds in three 2m3f slow-ground novice/maiden hurdles at Chepstow towards end of last year and pulled up when switched to good ground for handicap debut in May (2m4f); not written off just yet, though, and may benefit from the addition of a tongue-tie.

Not at best on latest outing but returned from break with two good efforts here in in the spring, latterly when clear second to a progressive subsequent winner (2m3f, good); today's longer trip will also suit; player if back on song.
