Made a bright start in handicaps with emphatic 1m wins at Ripon (heavy) and Doncaster (soft) in April; good third in fillies' Listed race at Longchamp in May and 1m2f may have stretched her in Listed/Group 3 events last twice; those were heavy defeats but she's back in calmer waters now and is not ruled out back at this trip.

9st 0lb |
Goes well in the mud and ground out a third success of the year in handicap at Haydock (1m, soft) last Saturday; may have more in the tank but she's not sure to be suited by this drop back to 7f. |

8st 9lb |
Has run well on Polytrack and won 1m handicaps on testing ground at Ripon and Doncaster in April; ran well in the first of two Listed races at Lonchamp (1m1f/1m2f) recently, but needs more to make an impact at this level. |

Hold-up performer who acts on good and good to soft but is untried on slower; made it 3-8 with his clearcut win over C&D in June and a switch to fast ground may have held him back when in mid-division in the Britannia at Royal Ascot; still looks feasibly treated on his penultimate form and he could resume his progress after a break.

20th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Has higher mileage than many of these after eight runs and he headed to Haydock 12 days ago as a maiden on turf (dual AW winner) but he put that right in no uncertain terms by quickening away in what had looked a competitive handicap (1m, good); this is tougher and he has to square up to a 6lb rise, but he comes here hot. |

Ex-Irish 5yo who was good third off 8lb higher in the Lincoln (1m, soft) on stable/seasonal debut; looks interesting on that form but he's not matched it since and was quiet at Ascot three weeks ago back from a break; equipment now returns but he needs to rediscover his spark; also entered 3:40 at Newmarket.

Well handicapped on his best form for Charlie Johnston last season but he's finished in rear in three runs for his current yard, including a heavy defeat after a slow start at Ripon last time; handles most ground but he has other questions to answer and needs a major turnaround; hood reapplied.

26th Aug 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Held in both starts since returning for this yard last month and is 6lb higher than when winning easily over C&D (good to soft) for Charlie Johnston just over a year ago; ran well off higher marks than this in his next two outings, though, so he could figure if bouncing back. |

10th Aug 2024 Good 0m 7f 213y Class 2 |

Useful 1m handicapper for Charlie Johnston; off ten months prior to finishing last of ten in a 1m French Listed race for new yard three weeks ago; more realistic chance back in a handicap but can still only be watched. |

Has ten turf wins on his CV and last three have been on soft/heavy; has not threatened since his 7f win here in April but he had some traffic issues at Galway (seventh of 16) last time and this step back up in trip is no problem; could be dangerous off sliding mark.

A 10-time winner and is ground-versatile; won at Haydock earlier in the year and best run since was at Epsom; didn't get a clear run in the Colm Quinn BMW Mile here earlier in week but can be closer with more luck-in-running. |

Well handicapped on his third on heavy ground at the Curragh (1m) in March but he's been generally disappointing since and was only tenth of 14 at Doncaster two weeks ago; new headgear is now tried but his last win was in 2022 and others are more convincing.

3rd 2 (4) |
27th Jul 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Has won on good to firm but his best efforts have been on a slower surface; as good as ever when third in the Irish Lincolnshire (1m, heavy) on his reappearance in March but that has been the only bright spot in 2024; on a dangerous mark but others are likely to have his measure unless there's a deluge. |

Out of half-sister to Group 1 winner Kinross who is highly versatile ground-wise; showed plenty of promise in his first three runs before landing the odds in a Chemsford maiden (1m, AW) last month; now goes handicapping off what looks a workable mark and this unexposed 3yo is an interesting contender.

Has shown plenty of promise in all three starts, finishing fourth of 14 in a warm Newmarket novice in June and pulling 11l clear of the third when beaten a neck at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) last month; major chance of going one better in this uncompetitive maiden. |

Plenty of promise in two starts on the Newmarket tracks, his fourth of 14 on the July Course (1m, good to firm) last time well advertised by the subsequent wins of the first, second and fifth; major player if able to reproduce that form on this different surface. |

Won off 1lb lower at Goodwood (good) for Andrew Balding in June 2023 but has a mixed record since and he struggled in three runs (Flat/hurdle) for Ian Williams last winter; with another new yard now and has plenty to prove back from 197 days off.

15th Mar 2024 Good To Soft 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |

Capable of fairly useful winning form at 1m for Andrew Balding on the Flat but he has beaten just one rival in two starts for his current yard in that sphere; goes hurdling now with a bit to prove. |

1st Jan 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |

Two wins (Polytrack/turf) in the first half of 2023 when trained by Andrew Balding; never dangerous on last month's stable debut at Wolverhampton (first run after a wind op); new trip today; others bring stronger claims. |
33/1 |
