29th Sep 2024 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won handicap debut at Wolverhampton (1m4f, Tapeta) in April; creditable efforts afterwards (one here; behind Environment Amigo) before he resumed improvement to win at Pontefract (2m1f; cheekpieces added) ten days ago; 4lb higher but he has more to give as an out-and-out stayer. |

slowly into stride, prominent, led after 2f, headed but prominent after 7f, pushed along and led again over 2f out, ridden over 1f out, idled final 110yds, always doing enough |

2nd 7 (5) |
13th Sep 2024 Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Upped to 1m4f when narrowly making a successful handicap debut at Wolverhampton (AW) in April; only third of four at Hamilton (1m4f, soft; his only turf start) in May and fourth of six at Southwell (1m6f) when next seen 18 days ago, not far away however and he does shape like a stayer; could have more to give. |

Course winner who hinted at a revival when third of nine in 1m6f Yarmouth handicap last month; he's very much one to consider back up in trip off a reduced mark.

Dour stayer who lacks consistency and isn't as good as he was; fine on Tapeta and quite capable off this mark but whether this will be run to suit is a different matter. |

Lightly raced 6yo who won a bumper last year and has displayed significant promise on all three Flat starts, most recently when fifth of 12 in 1m4f Tapeta novice in March; makes handicap debut after five-month absence but has possibilities if fully tuned up; tongue-tie fitted. |

5th 3 (4) |
5th Mar 2024 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Bumper winner last September and showed ability on the AW when second of nine behind a 66-1 shot here (1m3f) in December; not so good when fourth of nine at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) last time and a line though the winner gives him a bit to find with Caustic. |

4yo who remains a maiden after 17 starts but he was a good second at Chelmsford (2m, Polytrack) last Thursday; also effective on Tapeta and he could be thereabouts once more. |

3rd Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Bumper winner who's regressed and only seen sporadically in recent times; came in for support over C&D last time, though, and worth considering down another 3lb in first-time headgear. |

6th 5 (6) |
21st Jul 2024 Good To Soft 1m 5f 218y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Won a bumper in 2021; 0-9 under Flat rules and absent 352 days before soundly beaten in his two runs (upped to 1m6f, then 2m) this summer; some 2022 form reads well but he has questions to answer at present. |
