9st 11lb |
250,000gns yearling; beat 11 rivals to win his 5f novice at Sandown (good; by 2l) but has come up well short since then in two nurseries and faces no easy task here with his extra weight. |

Consistent on first four runs (5f, good to soft-good to firm) and fair third on nursery debut at Hamilton (6f, heavy) three weeks ago after 77-day break; no match for the first two last time but may have more to offer.

Placed over 5f all four starts, going down narrowly when odds-on here in June; now up in distance (bred to be suited by it) after a gelding operation; handles good to soft ground, unraced on softer; not discounted. |

Inconsistent and his two standout performances have come at Hamilton, namely a maiden win in June (6f, good) and a nursery near-miss two starts ago (6f, heavy); however, he's not ruled out on his first visit here.

Built upon promise of first two runs (6f, good to soft/AW) to win at Hamilton (6f, soft) last month; that latest form hasn't worked out but he has a useful pedigree and is open to further improvement on nursery debut.

Pretty encouraging fourth on debut at Chester (6f, good to soft) last month and third of 14 at Southwell (6f, AW) subsequently; his form is up there with the best in this line-up and he's one to consider. |

Hints of promise among first three starts (including on good/good to firm) and improved form to win when joint-favourite on recent nursery debut at Salisbury (7f, good to soft); did it readily and a 5lb rise may not be enough to stop him today.

Has shown ability in all three starts as when fifth of 12 at Kempton (7f, AW) last month (second and fourth have won since); respected now switched to a nursery. |

21st Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Ran green on his Brighton debut in June but he showed promise at Bath (5.7f, good) last month, when he kept on well after running into some trouble; needs to build on that but he's a half-brother to an AW winner and is open to more progress on this step up to 7f. |

Runner-up at York (6f, good to soft) in July in his sole nursery and bounced back from his tough Super Sprint assignment to win a Ffos Las maiden (6f, heavy) four weeks ago; he's 5lb higher than at York but it's a mark that looks very realistic and he's high on the list.

Verdict
Ffos Las maiden winner Sir Palamedes is a tempting option back in a handicap but preference is for UP THE PACE, who won with something to spare on his recent nursery debut at Salisbury. It will be no surprise if Ecology returns to form and poses a big threat, while fellow nursery newcomer Top Juggler is another who could run well.[Ben Hutton]
