Both wins on soft, the more recent at Hamilton (1m1f) last month; the much faster surface was against him at York (behind stablemate Bennetot) since; chance largely depends on how the ground is riding.

Down the field the last twice, most recently at Chester last month after wind surgery; however, he's dropped to a dangerous mark and he's the type to get back on track at some stage; not ruled out. |

Placed in three major handicaps last term, including this one off 3lb higher (good to soft); now goes in tongue-tie on 2024 reappearance; likely player provided he returns in top form. |

15th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 3 |

Two-time French winner who ran a couple of encouraging races at Pontefract and Ripon last month; however, he failed to threaten at Ascot (1m, good to firm) last time and needs to leave that run behind. |

Versatile ground-wise; both starts this season came at Newmarket in the spring, winning narrowly at the Craven meeting (1m) then below par at the Guineas festival; may rebound, having shown he goes well fresh.

9st 5lb |
Not proven beyond 1m; first and second on the Newmarket July course last summer, produced two big runs elsewhere in the autumn and led final 1f to win by a nose from Dutch Decoy when reappearing in 17-runner race here (1m, good; blanket finish) 18 days ago; 8yo who's as good as he's ever been but he does have a 4lb penalty; 3lb claimer is enlisted. |
14/1 |

1st 5 (2) |
16th Apr 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
C&D winner who got back to his best last year with wins in June/October (1m, soft/good to soft); however, this is his first outing since a below-par AW run in November; slow ground may be preferable. |

Ex-Irish 5yo who ran respectably (off 5lb higher) in soft-ground Lincoln on stable/seasonal debut; not in the same form since but could revive on return from ten-week layoff; market support should be heeded.

Close up behind Lattam when placed in this season's Lincoln but hasn't been able to kick on from there; unraced on Tapeta; effective in the reapplied tongue-tie (absent this campaign). |

16th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
One of the sufferers in a big field behind Dutch Decoy and Darkness at Goodwood a fortnight ago; that wasn't the first slice of bad luck he's endured this season and he's high on the shortlist. |
3/1 |

6th 12 (3) |
2nd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Up and down this season but soft ground may have been against him at Sandown most recently; prior to that he was a neck second of 15 there (1m, good to soft; behind Two Tempting) and his low draw may well be an asset; chance. |

Progressive on AW, winning twice (9.5f/1m2f); has failed to transfer that form back to turf (1m2f) in last two outings but gives the impression this return to 1m is worth exploring; difficult to write off.

15th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Major improver in 1m2f AW handicaps, quickening up smartly at Lingfield in March (hood discarded, now refitted; Andaleep back in third); said to have been unsuited by Chester's tight turns when way back there in May; needs to show he's as good on turf as AW but remains of interest. |
9/2 |
|
11th 1 (6) |
9th May 2024 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Big improver in AW handicaps this year, running out a decisive winner of a 14-runner race over 1m2f at Lingfield on Good Friday; a 5lb rise doesn't look enough to stop him if proving as effective on turf (9l second in a maiden on previous attempt). |

26th Aug 2024 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
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. |

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. |

Won two Group 3 races in 2022; has tumbled down the weights and he returned to some form with a close second behind Sterling Knight at Newmarket 16 days ago (1m, good to soft); 2lb rise in a stronger race could find him out. |
