Highly admirable dual-purpose performer who looked as good as ever when runner-up in last month's Ebor (1m6f, good to firm); he has a good record at York but he won over C&D on his last visit to Ayr and holds solid claims.

24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Best Flat efforts on good or good to firm; three 1m4f wins at this track and runner-up to Crystal Delight here this May; has also won at 1m5f, over hurdles (good second in that sphere on latest outing) and been placed in one of his three appearances at 1m6f; on a good mark and not entirely dismissed. |

2nd 3 |
20th Jul 2024 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Hasn't been running at all badly in tough Flat handicaps this summer and he won his final start over hurdles here last summer when 5lb lower; that was over 2m4f but he's quick enough for this trip; considered. |

11yo who was merely mid-division in the Old Borough Cup at Haydock a fortnight ago but he's had a few bright moments this season and was a close fourth in the competitive 1m6f handicap at Glorious Goodwood; 11 visits to Ayr have yielded five wins and he has to be of interest now back here.

7th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 6f 1y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Veteran who's had a superlative career; versatile regarding distance and tactics; not quite so good this season but Ayr in June still saw him break a losing run and he was a close fourth at Glorious Goodwood; respectable fifth at York 15 days ago; capable of a prominent finish. |

9th Apr 2024 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Tapeta winner who proved his stamina when bolting up from the front at Haydock (1m6f, heavy) last September; has made the frame in both starts since, albeit the extended 2m appeared to find him out here last time; has fitness to prove after four months off, but still respected back down to Class 4 level. |

4 yo Filly
OR: 90
Won here (1m2f, good) in April and made it three wins for the year at Naas (10.3f, good to yielding) latest; stamina to prove now back up in trip but her run was too bad to be true when tailed off over 1m5f at Down Royal in July, and this progressive 4yo can play a leading role if seeing it out.

Four-time winner, latest coming off 84 in a 10.5f handicap at Naas last month; well-beaten upped to 1m5f at Ayr off revised mark of 90 six days ago; drop back to this distance will suit but this looks ambitious on AW debut. |

OR: 89
In good form prior to easy win in five-runner handicap at Thirsk (1m4f, good) a fortnight ago; he set a steady pace and enjoyed the run of the race, but a 4lb rise isn't harsh and he's not ruled out.

Landed a four-runner event at Newcastle (1m4f, Tapeta) in April and was back off the same mark when beaten half a length in a stronger Racing League contest back there a week ago (Who's Glen and Lexington Knight behind); already due a 3lb rise for that and strong claims, especially if able to dominate. |

Listed winner in June 2023 and he continues to drop down the weights; however, he's struggled on his three starts this season and a major turnaround is required.

Comfortably made all at Newmarket (1m6f, good to firm) in June on second start of the season and followed up at Chelmsford (2m, AW) in July; subsequently sold out of David Simcock's yard for 30,000gns; he brings an improving profile to this stable debut and is firmly in calculations.
