Poor form in three sprint runs this summer; bred to be useful and fetched 50,000gns as a breezer so possible there's more to come now tackling a more suitable trip on his handicap debut; new accessories today too.

Promising second in a 0-50 classified event at Wolverhampton in July and his third at Brighton six weeks ago (7f, good to firm) has been franked since; still has potential after just five starts; contender.

Five times an AW winner when trained by Gay Kelleway; enough promise for this stable to bring her into the reckoning, including a fast-finishing second at Lingfield 19 days ago; back up 2lb and has the services of a leading apprentice; wouldn't be suited by a crawl.

Losing run goes back more than a year but he's a multiple winner here and put some ordinary efforts behind him when fourth, 1.5l behind Balqaa, over C&D last week; bang there off a favourable mark. |

4th 6 (6) |
26th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Well held in both starts on turf since returning from six months off, but is 3lb lower than when scoring at Beverley in June 2023 and is lower in the weights than for three of his five wins around here; may be worth chancing. |

30th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |

Has regressed this year, his turf record is uninspiring and he's been inclined to pull hard in recent starts; he is the only one on the ceiling mark of 50 but others look stronger as he bids to get his trainer off the mark for the year. |

Had been running with credit prior to making just about all to make it 21st-time lucky over C&D in October; hasn't been able to dominate in the same way twice since and an uncontested lead seems unlikely here too; others preferred. |

Ended his time with Richard Fahey with a 6f Hamilton second in June but down the field in two sprints at Newmarket for new yard this month; dual AW winner but would need to see market support to consider back up in trip and with a first-time hood added to a tongue-strap. |

Overcame trouble in running to win the corresponding race 12 months ago off an 8lb higher mark (then trained by Alice Haynes); patchy record for new stable but his best run for them came over C&D and Tom Queally's only ride for the stable in 2024 (before this evening) finished second; can go well.

Hardly convincing but he hinted at ability over 6f here last August and a recent effort in a new visor wasn't devoid of promise either; looks ready for another crack at 7f but others look safer, even at this level.

Still seeking first win (0-9) and has failed to beat a rival in four of his last five starts; slow starts have become a habit, with a visor (now removed) seemingly unable to rectify that problematic issue. |
