Two wins this year, over C&D (good to soft) and at Windsor; normally dependable but she was never going after a very slow start at Newbury recently which makes her hard to predict this time.

10st 0lb |
Two wins this season (5f, good to soft/good to firm) under Oliver Searle; another creditable effort when third of ten at Haydock (5f, good) 13 days ago and no reason why this consistent filly won't give another good account of herself. |

Two wins this season (5f, good to soft/good to firm) and beaten just under 2l when a creditable sixth at Ascot (5f, good/good to firm) the last twice; might not be far away. |

Sole win in a 6f AW novice but it's almost laughable the number of times he's been unlucky since and it was the same old story when last seen at York (5f, good to soft; acts on soft) in May; lack of a recent run shouldn't be a problem and perhaps this time he'll show what he can do on a track that should suit.

25th May 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Won 6f novice last spring; yet to win a handicap but several runs strongly suggest he is ahead of his mark, including from bad draw over C&D in September; raced freely and again met trouble when fourth at Thirsk on last week's return (6f, good to firm), a run that should have sharpened him up nicely; Raul Da Silva has had just one ride for the yard in the last five seasons, finishing second on Show Me Show Me in a valuable handicap in September 2022; intriguing contender despite stepping up in class. |

Often leads; has won two of last four 5f starts, bettering previous turf form on second start for yard, at Newbury (good to firm; has won on soft) on latest; has more to prove back over this stiffer test.

Made all to win a Class 5 handicap at Nottingham last month (5f, good to soft); not so good back at that track three weeks ago, after which he was sold for £10,000; handles good to firm but turf wins have come on good or slower. |

Has won and gone well over C&D (good and good to soft); well treated and made a good start for new yard at Hamilton in August; never in the picture in the Shergar Cup Dash here after and his strong finish on AW since (6f) was too little too late but he remains of interest back here.

Good record on AW and he's slipped to a handy mark after a quiet summer; good effort at Hamilton on his stable debut 19 days ago but unable to build on it at Ascot last time; better expected back on Tapeta. |

5th 7 (6) |
10th Aug 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Was treading water in the first half of this year, but a switch of stable saw him show more signs of life when second to Jordan Electrics at Hamilton last week; he's now 6lb better off with the winner, and he's also 8lb lower than when winning over this C&D (good ground) last autumn; major contender. |

Sixth in this race last year; has a good run in him on early-summer form at 6f and 5f, including over C&D, but has been slowly away the last twice which could cost him back at 5f; missed an intended run because of good to soft ground in August.

Won two in a row (5f/6f, good) before beaten just a head behind Amazonian Dream over C&D (good to firm) last month, and close third of 17 at Ascot (5f, good) most recently; has the same mark as last time and he's respected back up in trip. |

Listed winner as 2yo, also close up in soft-ground Group 3; returned to form over C&D (good) in August but never doing enough at York since; blinkers replace cheekpieces; perhaps still has share of weight.

21st Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Gelded prior to chasing home Holkham Bay at Ascot 11 days ago, a run that was right up there with his best 2yo form; a 10lb turnaround in the weights with that rival should draw them closer together. |
16/1 |

2nd 8 (1) |
10th Aug 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Third to Big Evs in last year's Molecomb at Goodwood but rather a damp squib since, outclassed in the King Charles III over C&D before last of nine in handicap at Doncaster (wore cheekpieces); hard to fancy on recent evidence but could be revived by recent gelding operation and Billy Loughnane rides. |

Mulltiple winner, including over C&D (good to soft) in May, but he hasn't advertised his claims for this on his last two starts; cheekpieces return for the first time since 2020.

Beat Badri in a big C&D handicap (good to soft) last July; later close up in a top 6f race at York; not the same filly now and although she went close here in August she didn't run well next time; questioned now.

Down in the weights and back to form when just failing to get up over 5f at Ascot (good to firm) three weeks ago; put back up 3lb but retains handicapping scope on peak form and has Oisin Murphy doing the steering. |

26th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Progressive spell culminated in a success over C&D (off 11lb higher) last July; far from consistent since but holds a good chance provided she turns up in top form. |
