Prominent racer who has benefited from the addition of cheekpieces in recent starts, winning at Haydock (5f, good to soft) before a close third at Musselburgh; effective at Ripon and on soft ground; should go well.

The addition of cheekpieces has brought about an upturn in his fortunes and he kept on well to score at Ripon last week (5f, soft); 2lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run. |

Three wins this season, the latest when proving far too strong for Our Absent Friends over C&D last month (5f, good); 5lb rise asks more of him but foolish to rule out this improving sprinter.

He had been hinting at a revival prior to his Doncaster win last month (6f, good to firm) and he followed that with two good 6f runs here; only fifth at Kempton three weeks ago but the return to Ripon should be in his favour; handles soft and has the rail draw.

In good form on turf last month, winning at Doncaster then placed twice at Ripon; creditable third at Newcastle on sole AW attempt; should be thereabouts, provided he takes to Kempton. |

Two C&D wins (soft/good to firm) last season and back to winning ways at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) this month; another big run when second of 16 over C&D last time and this in-form 4yo holds very solid claims. |

18th Sep 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Started the year with a bang, second to a progressive sprinter over C&D in April before winning at Ripon in May; mixed since but his last two runs can be upgraded (chased a strong pace at Newcastle before meeting all sorts of trouble over C&D last time); now 6lb lower than for the Ripon win; well drawn and he's a contender. |

Offered hope he may be able to end his long losing run on AW earlier in the year; out of sorts on turf when last seen though and he's opposable despite his much-reduced mark.

Has form on soft but better on a sounder surface; yet to win this year but he is down in the weights and form such as his York third on penultimate start brings him right into the reckoning; has run well at this track on several occasions; not ruled out if the going dries out.

His form has been mixed this season and he's finished down the field the last twice; however, this prominent-racer is now 5lb lower than when a creditable fifth of 21 in a better race than this over C&D (good) in May and he's often run well here; capable of a bold bid. |

His last three wins, two this season, have come at Chester; full value for last week's success (5f, good to soft) where he overcame both a wide draw and trouble in running and a 2lb rise looks generous; 2-3 over C&D and he's of some interest, even allowing for stall 1.

Cosy win over 5f at Chester in July but no excuses at Hamilton three weeks ago; creditable fifth here yesterday but drying ground is not ideal and he's hard to fancy on 6f form. |
