1st Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Two wins over 7f last season (heavy, good to firm); has been rather disappointing this term, including on first run back after being gelded last time; well handicapped but bit to prove. |

His best form had been at 6f/7f but he found plenty for pressure to win over Ripon's 1m 19 days ago; up to a career-high mark following the 6lb rise but must have a good chance.

1st 9 (9) |
27th Aug 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
His best form has come over 6f/7f and he failed to shine over 1m at Doncaster recently; however, he kept on well for fourth over 7f at Newcastle (AW) two starts ago and it will be no surprise if this 3yo bounces back. |
6/1 |

Not beaten a rival on his last two outings at Haydock and Hamilton; he needs to take a big step forward despite falling in the weights.

1st Oct 2024 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Very well treated on his best form last season but his last win was 17 months ago and he's been beaten around 8l in last two starts; this step back up in trip looks a good move but he needs a major upturn in form; cheekpieces back on. |

Has been chasing but this 10yo nearly added to his Flat tally with a near miss here over 7f having been handy throughout; no certainty that he'll be as good again.

Close fourth at Ayr last time (7f, good) but he's a 10yo now who struggles with consistency; still hard to leave out of the equation.

30th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Without a win since landing 1m Newcastle handicap in January and he's been largely below par of late, beating only one at Musselburgh (1m) 15 days ago; others appeal more. |

Multiple winner but a 10yo now and struggles with consistency; needs to find something on recent form. |

Overcame a slow start to threaten at Thirsk (1m, good), though they didn't go much of a pace; overall strike-rate of 3-42 tempers enthusiasm.

2nd Oct 2024 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Slow starts have proved problematic, meaning he's always likely to be disadvantaged; competitively handicapped, though, and can be an effective Musselburgh operator - 1m1f course winner last October - when everything clicks; stablemate of Believe Me Now. |
14/1 |

6th 3 (6) |
23rd Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |

Runner-up at Thirsk two starts ago and not ruled out, but it's been a disappointing campaign overall and he was well beaten at Musselburgh latest. |
8/1 |

15th Sep 2024 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 5 |
