No problem with conditions and he's run some sound races in defeat on AW this year; might find a few better treated. |

Won a Fairyhouse maiden for Gordon Elliott back in February 2023 (2m, yielding); regressive last season and can only be watched on Flat return. |

Won a Fairyhouse maiden for Gordon Elliott back in February 2023 (2m, yielding); no joy since and hasn't looked a winner in waiting in three runs for this yard; mark sliding but needs more. |

8th Jul 2024 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Lightly raced since her Hereford maiden win in early 2022 but returned from one-year absence with pretty good second at Fakenham (2m, good) in March; not out of this. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 5 |
15th Mar 2024 Good To Soft 2m 0f 3y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Two Plumpton thirds since receiving wind surgery have been at least the equal of the form level of her February 2022 Hereford win (2m, soft), yet a 3lb drop in the weights has followed; tempting on that basis. |

16th Jun 2023 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |

Maiden; hints of ability over hurdles but not enough to make her of much interest in this. |

28th May 2023 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |

Maiden; pulled up on handicap hurdle debut in February and well beaten on the Flat this month; others looks much more likely. |

Has recorded the odd minor honour but without suggesting that a first win is that likely today; last seen hurdling in January/February. |

18th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Longstanding maiden who's 3lb better off with Cloudy Rose than when a close second to her in this race last year; he's lost his way since, though, and will need to leave last month's efforts well behind. |
25/1 |

Longstanding maiden who was beaten a long way on his return from a break at Brighton this month (first-time cheekpieces, discarded) and has a lot to prove this time. |

Verdict
This can go to Sir Mark Prescott’s lightly raced gelding GORDONS AURA, who stayed on well for a clear second in a Nottingham handicap last time and is open to more progress on this step up to 2m. Second choice is another 3yo in City Spirit, who still looks feasibly treated on her Windsor win last month and could pose a serious threat if she copes with this big step up in trip.[David Moon]
