24th Aug 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Improvement a possibility now handicapping but he was readily brushed aside by Apotheosis at Lingfield 19 days ago and a 6lb turnaround in the weights may not be enough to reverse the placings. |

3rd 4 (8) |
5th Aug 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Brother to the stable's 1m Group 1 winner Saffron Beach and he showed plenty of promise when runner-up on Yarmouth debut (7f, soft) last October; recorded an RPR of 80 in that race but he didn't come close to that form on his reappearance in June and has bit to prove after that. |

3 yo Colt
OR: 85
Recorded a neck success off this mark at Chester (7.5f, soft) in June; has failed to repeat that form in two starts since, well behind Pedro Valentino at Yarmouth on penultimate; not the percentage call.

9st 10lb |
Respectable second, albeit no match for winner, at Ascot last week; clung on for neck win off this mark here (7.5f, soft) in June and has a fighting chance returned to the Roodee. |

24th Aug 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Two good efforts on the Rowley course in May (7f, good); narrow win in a soft-ground handicap at Chester (7.5f) in June but disappointed at Yarmouth last month; needs a quick revival. |

Form: -35121 D

3 yo Colt
OR: 86
Unraced on soft/heavy; record of 121 since wearing cheekpieces and the form has substance; ran well over C&D on penultimate occasion, then justified favouritism at Yarmouth; respected in the retained headgear.

13th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent profile in his five runs; cheekpieces on for the first time when winning a 7f good-ground handicap at Haydock last month, beating ten rivals; did have the run of things up front and the form has taken some knocks, while neither will it be easy to repeat those tactics here. |

Form: -25814 D

3 yo Filly
OR: 78
Got up in the final strides at Catterick (7f, soft) on sole turf attempt in 2024, opening her account; not disgraced in Southwell AW event later in July; may have more to offer back on grass and remains of interest.

Three of the four to beat her in a Southwell 0-95 in April have obliged since (one Listed); poor one start since, but today's task is her easiest in handicaps; may not want rain judged on moderate soft-ground efforts. |

Form: 3-1192 C

3 yo Gelding
OR: 82
Campaigned mostly over 6f; absent since his creditable second at Windsor in June; one of his spring wins came at Ascot (good) but this return to 7f presents a question mark, especially if the ground is slow.

12th Jun 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Different proposition at three, making virtually all at Chelmsford then collaring one who was also hanging right at Ascot (again went from the front; pair nicely clear); fitting of cheekpieces could help him stay straight this time and he's up just 4lb. |

Form: 274475 D

3 yo Colt
OR: 78
Has failed to progress in the expected manner and is 0-7 since debut win (AW); on a handy mark (6lb below opening one) but chance partly depends on how well he responds to reapplied hood (second attempt).

8th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Lightly raced 3yo who has shown promise and is dropping down the weights; however, he didn't settle and was well beaten at Sandown a fortnight ago (1m, good; previous turf runs on soft ground); something to prove after that. |
8/1 |
|
7th 10 (6) |
26th Jul 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Record of 1-5 before being gelded and he then finished fourth of the five runners in a 7f soft-ground handicap here three weeks ago; confined to 7f thus far so could improve for going a mile. |
10/1 |
8/1
Form: 903141 D

3 yo Colt
OR: 84
Has form figures of 3141 (on good/firmer) since wearing cheekpieces, winning by 2l at Thirsk (7f) most recently; faces a harder task up 6lb but may have more to offer in the retained headgear; not dismissed.

3rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

Back on track since fitted with cheekpieces for last two races, more recently when making virtually all for narrow C&D (good to firm) win five weeks ago; could still be on a workable mark after 4lb rise; respected. |
9/2 |
