9th 9 (13) |
23rd Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
1m novice winner on soft in April and acquitted himself well when sixth of 14 in the traditionally strong London Gold Cup at Newbury (1m2f) on his handicap debut in May; hasn't advanced his form since but most efforts have been respectable and the drop back in trip is worth a go after he faded into fifth over 8.6f at Wolverhampton latest. |
10/1 |

5th 2 (8) |
7th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Fair since handicapping, given he hasn't looked to see out 1m2f a few times, latterly in cheekpieces; this is a touch easier down another 2lb and he holds each-way claims. |
10/1 |

4th 5 (1) |
10th Aug 2023 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Delivered on earlier promise when narrow winner of Thirsk novice (1m, soft) in April and was creditable sixth in valuable handicap when upped to 1m2f at Newbury (good) in May; good claims if judged on that evidence but wasn't in same form on last two outings (cheekpieces added last time). |
12/1 |

4th 6 (5) |
9th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Won Thirsk novice (1m, soft) in April on fourth start and 2l sixth of 14 in the London Gold Cup Handicap at Newbury (1m2f, good) next time; disappointing at Musselburgh since but has first-time headgear and this 3yo retains potential in view of his penultimate form, which has worked out very well. |
9/2 |

6th 3 (5) |
3rd Jun 2023 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Only made his debut in February and made it fourth-time lucky when narrowly beating a subsequent winner in a Thirsk novice (1m, soft) in April; only beaten around 2l when sixth of 14 in a traditionally warm contest on handicap debut at Newbury (1m2f, good) a fortnight ago and remains open to further improvement. |
9/2 |
