29th Sep 2024 Heavy 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won at Bath (soft; acts on heavy) in April and ran respectably most starts since; however, he was a remote seventh behind Miller Spirit over C&D 17 days ago, despite starting favourite at a track he does handle. |

12th Sep 2024 Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Won at Bath (1m3f, soft) in April and has run creditably on most starts since, at up to 1m6f; unlikely to be far away if she handles this track. |

6th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won here in 2022 but has not fared so well in his three subsequent visits; won at Bath (1m3f, soft) in April and has run creditably over 1m6f in three of his four races since, so has each-way claims. |

Close second in 1m2f handicap here (good) on final start was her best show as 2yo; made a respectable return when second of four here (1m2f, soft) three weeks ago and this longer trip may help. |

14th Feb 2025 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Unraced here but all five wins have come on the AW and he's fine on Tapeta; hasn't been getting the breaks in his recent races and one to consider, for all that he's not shone when previously tried in cheekpieces. |

27th Jan 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All of his five wins have been on AW and latest was off this mark over C&D last March; finished fifth in both runs for new yard this winter but he didn't get much luck on the first occasion and was beaten less than 3l at Lingfield last time; could be dangerous if he can find something extra. |

8st 7lb |
Four-time winner over 1m4f back in the day in Britain; nothing like that sort of form for current yard, mark rapidly descending of late but 5lb outside the handicap here; declared reserve in 7.25 at Down Royal on Friday. |

Four-time winner over this trip back in the day in Britain; Irish form is moderate in both codes, second in claimer here in 2024; a tad better when beaten 6l (led) at Navan latest and Keane rides. |

31st May 2025 Good 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Took her form to a new level with a game success in Newbury Group 3 on stable/seasonal debut; not so good front-running in a four-runner Group 2 at Newmarket (also 1m4f on good) three weeks later; player if reverting to the Newbury form but her three attempts at this sort of trip (summer 2023) were not as good as that year's runs at 1m4f. |

Useful for Rae Guest; took her form to a new level with a game success in Newbury Group 3 on stable/seasonal debut, taking record to 6-21; faces a stiffer task in this grade but may rate higher still and she's the sole C&D winner in the field; very hard to dismiss. |
