AW novice winner; best effort in handicaps this year came when second over C&D in June (soft); respectable efforts since a gelding operation in July; more appealing than many.

dwelt start, held up in rear against rail, going easily but waiting for room over 2f out, soon pressed leaders, led and clear over 1f out, ridden inside final furlong, much reduced lead final 110yds, just held on |

AW 7f novice winner and only beaten a neck in his second handicap at Chester (7.5f, soft) in June; not seen to best effect the last twice on either side of being gelded but could yet come good again; the visor is new. |

Landed a novice here (7f) last November and only beaten a neck in his second handicap at Chester (7.5f, soft) in June; race wasn't run to suit at Sandown (7f, soft) last time and has since been gelded; dam won over C&D, but is drawn wider than ideal. |

Not at his best in two runs since a gelding operation but he won't mind conditions and he has run well at this track in the past; Franny Norton a good booking; blinkers the headgear of choice; revival could be imminent.

On a useful mark despite being 5lb higher than for last year's win in this race, and it was an encouraging run at Beverley last time after being gelded, as good to firm would have been too lively for him; cheekpieces back on for blinkers is a positive; shortlisted. |

Odds-on winner of a Kempton novice last summer on his second start (7f); gelded afterwards; not at the same level in a Wolverhampton novice in April; makes handicap debut for a new yard (same owner); still has potential but the ground is an unknown and he has a 140-day absence to overcome.

7f win at Doncaster on debut (good to soft); beaten favourite on next two starts, notably a flop on quick ground at Newmarket, but he bounced back to form with a front-running C&D win nine weeks ago; 4lb rise not insurmountable; unexposed.

12th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Made a pleasing start to his career when winning a Doncaster maiden (7f, good to soft; 7-2) in May, but only fourth under a penalty at Wetherby next time and has since bombed out (last of six) on fast ground at Newmarket (1m; on handicap debut); questions to answer. |

27th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Won with something to spare on debut at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) last month and another good run when fourth of 16 under a penalty at Wetherby (7f, good) two weeks ago; brings potential to this handicap debut, for which he wears a first-time hood, and he's one to consider. |

Irish raider; mudlark who won well at the Curragh in April (6f, heavy); returned from 135 days off to finish a close second at Roscommon 12 days ago (7.5f, soft); never looked happy behind Paws For Thought here on Friday and needs to bounce back rapidly; drawn widest too.

Suited by ground softer than good; won at this course when trained in Britain; opened his Irish account at the Curragh (6f) in April, then was absent until clear second at Roscommon (7.5f) last week; due to go up 6lb in future; great chance, provided wide draw doesn't prove troublesome. |

Slow start for this yard but he capitalised on the drop into Class 4 company with a game success at Carlisle last month (7f, good); 4lb rise in a stronger race could just find him out.

All wins have come around a left-hand bend and he has a good record on soft and heavy ground; feasibly treated starting out for his new stable (same owner) and he's an interesting contender.

Down the field on stable debut at Chester (7.5f, soft) a fortnight ago but he could improve for that outing; has won on heavy ground and races off his last winning mark; not ruled out in reapplied cheekpieces (worn for first time since mid-division in AW maiden in 2020). |

Both wins have come on slow ground, notably a wide-margin success at Catterick in May; well held twice since but she's well drawn and could have a big run in her.
