His first three races were in the mud (1m4f, 1m2f and 1m1f) this April-June; needs to better that form but he's brother to a German 12.5f/1m3f winner and looks a possible improver now switched to a handicap; needs checking in market.

Usually ridden by Molly Gunn; won six of his last eight races, the last two over 1m4f on heavy at Ffos Las; not proven beyond that but he's not been stopping and the 8lb rise since latest start might not prevent another win, given the style in which he's been asserting and another small field today.

30th Aug 2024 Heavy 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Well placed by Tony Carroll to win five of his last seven races and he readily accounted for the favourite over C&D last week when the ground was heavy; that was a career-best RPR so he clearly revelled in the conditions; penalised. |

10st 1lb |
Resurgent 5yo who has already collected four wins this season, the latest at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm) two starts ago; slightly disappointing when only third over 1m2f there recently but still features prominently in calculations; effective on good to soft ground but unraced on anything slower. |

Disappointing favourite in this race last year but he does stay the trip and acts on heavy going; Thirsk in May saw his first win since 2022 but he's underperformed on last four outings; the last two were admittedly on AW and he's back to that last winning mark.

Has mostly run well when at Haydock; as good as ever to win at Catterick (1m4f, heavy) last October on first start for 528 days; not disgraced in his next three starts (one over hurdles) but ran badly at Chester on latest; wore cheekpieces once (2022) and they now return in place of his usual hood.

As good as ever to win at Catterick (1m4f, heavy) last October on first start for 528 days and not disgraced in his only three starts since (one over hurdles); just 1lb higher than at Catterick and he stays well, with today's first run at this track looking quite interesting too. |

Three French wins on good to soft in 2022; probably acts on soft; 0-11 in Britain but he's down the weights and there's plentiful evidence this season that he can be competitive, including placed efforts over 2m and 1m4f on two of his last three starts; player.

Hasn't finished out of the first three in nine starts since handicapping, with three wins including when the cheekpieces went on for last two outings; penultimate start was on soft ground (unraced on heavy), latest was a gutsy performance at this track and it looks as if she will stay beyond 1m4f, so she needs plenty of respect.
