Odds-on when running away with a Catterick novice (7f, heavy) on his reappearance in April; he's been a beaten favourite in all five handicaps since, showing a good level of form since a wind op in May; still has time on his side but patience is wearing thin.

The season began well and, following a second wind operation, he got firmly back on track when staying on late in the day from an unpromising position over C&D recently (Balon D'or runner-up); drawn wide on that occasion but not this time and he has raced prominently before; interesting. |

Had a wind operation in June and he's returned with two good runs, second to Makanah at Redcar before a fine third in the Great St Wilfrid six weeks ago; runs off the same mark but others might be better suited by the underfoot conditions.

He's had a disappointing campaign but has dropped down the weights and took a big step back in the right direction in first-time blinkers (retained) when a close fourth at Ripon (6f, soft) last Saturday, having been slowly away; this course winner may be able to build on that latest performance. |

Always been useful on AW and he's been enjoying himself on slow turf this year, winning at Goodwood in May (6f, heavy) and producing a career-best when dominating a 6.5f handicap at Doncaster two weeks ago; hit with a 5lb rise but he might be able to snare the rail from stall 11 and is set for another big run.

Two good course runs as a 2yo; shaped with abundant promise on her seasonal return at York in June (6f, good to soft) and although she hasn't built on it, there have been excuses along the way; not seen to best effect in a slowly run 7f event last time and this should see her in a better light.

Two wins as a 2yo, including at this track (6f, good); caught the eye here on her reappearance in June (6f, good to soft) when tanking through the race before a lack of peak fitness told late on; another solid run at Newmarket in July but her form dipped at Yarmouth four weeks ago (5f, good to firm); perhaps she was unsuited by the ground there but she's on a dangerous mark if it was just a blip; this intermediate trip could be ideal. |

Two 6f wins for Julie Camacho in 2022; all runs for Tim Easterby have been over 7f or 1m, winning twice last season; contender on the pick of this year's form and the more rain that falls the better it should be for him, but he folded late on when one of the market leaders at Haydock yesterday.
