Useful on the Flat when based in Ireland and 2-7 over hurdles for current stable; not bred for fences but returned from break with a pretty good effort last month and will be suited by the trip/ground on this chasing debut; cheekpieces refitted. |

Six-time winner for Charlie Johnston and best form over this trip; poor on first two runs for this yard at big prices; better than bare result when beaten over 5l at Gowran last May; yard's first runner of the year won on Tuesday; no surprise were he to go well after a break with leading claimer aboard. |

Turf (soft) and AW winner last summer who is back on her last winning mark and shaped as though coming to hand at Bath last time; the forecast ground here should suit better and leading claims. |

6th Sep 2023 Good 1m 3f 137y Class 4 |

Three wins last year, the latest when beating two rivals from 3lb lower at Sandown (1m6f, good to firm) in July; held in both starts since returning from seven months off in April and she probably needs further than this now. |

Generally progressive last term, winning three times (1m3f-1m6f, good/faster); very close third over 1m6f at Chester (good to soft) on final outing; below par at Ripon (1m4f, soft) on reappearance but record suggests she'll bounce back. |

2nd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 2m 4f 97y Class 2 |

Won this race last year (soft) from Robert Johnson and dictated the pace under Connor Beasley when taking a useful Newbury race (2m, good to firm) 13 days ago, from closing rivals including Kyle Of Lochalsh; up 3lb but this highly reliable sort will surely be seriously involved again. |

Not gone on from his Southwell success (16.5f, AW) in December, though front-running may not have suited him at Lingfield (2m, AW) last time; only seen on Flat turf once since August 2022, but he does act on it (2-8); interesting, especially if taking to the first-time cheekpieces. |
