21st Aug 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Only fifth of seven on the Flat three weeks ago but prior to that he won going away over C&D (good) in early July; essentially 1lb lower here if factoring in Dylan Johnston's claim. |

5th 4 (7) |
30th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Very versatile 9yo who made a low-key seasonal debut on the Flat last month but has subsequently won over fences; returns to this discipline on a workable mark and was second of 16 in quite valuable C&D series final on only previous visit to Ffos Las (in 2022); might be the answer. |

Suffered alarming dip in form in the spring but bounced back to win twice on good ground during the summer (3m2f/2m7f), and is now 8-16 over fences; doesn't often run on right-handed tracks but remains on a good mark after latest 3lb rise.

28th Jul 2024 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
6-14 over fences with peak form last May/July, latterly with a C&D third; ran respectably twice this April but pulled up on his two outings since, with cheekpieces added in Summer Cup latest, and that casts a major cloud. |

Opened chasing account and took form to whole new level when upped to 3m7f and fitted with a visor at Musselburgh (good to soft) in February, winning valuable Edinburgh National easily by 21l; absent since mid-race fall in Scottish National in April and now drops back in trip but could easily improve again as a stayer this season.

20th Apr 2024 Soft 3m 7f 176y Class 1 |
10st 3lb |
7yo who's in his first season chasing; upped in trip and switched to front-running with a first-time visor in the Edinburgh National at Musselburgh 11 weeks ago and he took the field apart, moving 21l clear in the closing stages; that was over an extended 3m7f on good to soft, but he has been placed on soft; up 14lb today but that latest performance could hardly have been more authoritative. |

Completed C&D hat-trick when landing this prize in 2023 and was back in peak form here 16 days ago, winning a shade cosily by half a length; recent 3lb rise is not excessive; respected.

9th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
His win in this 12 months ago was the middle leg of a hat-trick; has since shown that he can deal with this higher rating and he produced another good course run on his penultimate start; Cartmel last time was a new experience. |

In career-best form in spring/summer, winning twice over C&D (good to soft/good to firm) before very creditable third in Summer Plate at Market Rasen (2m6f, good); last month's trip to Galway did not pay dividends but he remains very much of interest.

20th Jul 2024 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 1 |
11st 11lb |
Third to stablemate Francky Du Berlais in this two years ago when 14lb lower; returns in better form and, although his recent Perth wins have been at 3m, this is going to be run at a strong gallop; player. |
8/1 |
