A bit of a mxed bag in three starts since returning from 469 days off in August, but they were over 6f while his record over 7f on Tapeta reads 31612 including a win here; interesting.

Both wins have come on Tapeta; absent 469 days prior to his low-key run at Thirsk in August but he took a step forward when third at Redcar 16 days ago and could be an even more potent force back on this surface. |

Seemed to need the run at Thirsk (6f) last month on belated reappearance; however, he may be more interesting when back on AW, having shown best form in that sphere. |

Has only twice raced on the AW before and was only beaten around 3l when sixth of 14 at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) in August, but he has something to prove having refused to race at Ayr last time.

Unraced on AW since his debut; runner-up in three of his six runs this year, beaten a head at Carlisle last week (7f, good); rider's claim useful but others may have his measure today. |

Eight-race maiden who has run with credit in both AW starts and who is now 2lb lower than when second of eight at Thirsk (7f, good) in August; well held in both starts since, though, so he needs to have benefited from the gelding operation.

He could do without one of his slow starts on his first crack at sprinting, but he was a well-backed second at Thirsk (7f, good) last month on his second stable start when he was the only one from off the pace to get into the race; this unexposed 3yo could have more to offer; possible player. |

Won a Nottingham novice (6f, good to soft) for Ed Bethell as a 2yo and was only beaten a neck at Hamilton (1m, good to firm) in August, but he didn't fire on stable debut at Pontefract (1m, soft) last month; half-brother to a Listed AW winner, but he needs to leave that last effort behind.

Still 3lb below his last winning mark and running well in defeat lately, as when third of 12 behind an in-form rival at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) eight days ago; should go well again.

Three-time AW scorer; creditable third to The Cookstown Cafu over C&D last month on the return to this sphere; closely matched with that rival on the revised terms; possibilities. |

17th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Has regressed a little since winning twice over 7f on turf in June, albeit not disgraced when fifth of 12 at Thirsk (7f, good) seven days ago; won easily over C&D in August last year and would have a solid chance if rediscovering that sort of form. |

Got it right at the 13th attempt when winning easily over C&D (first-time cheekpieces) a month ago; 5lb rise demands more but he is well suited to these conditions and may still have a bit more to offer.

The return to Tapeta should suit and first-time headgear may help after a couple of below-par efforts; has had plenty of chances now but the sex allowance brings her into the equation. |

6th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |

Not an easy ride by any means, but he was well handled by James Sullivan when gaining his third C&D success in September; never really recovered from a slow break back here early last month, but capable of making an impact if things fall right.
