18th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Suited by soft ground and 7f, and on a very good mark now (13lb lower than when winning at Catterick in September 2023); mainly out of form this season; probably best watched. |

24th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Four 7f wins at Catterick in 2023 but he's been struggling since the spring and his much-reduced mark isn't helping him much at the moment; 0-11 on AW and has it to prove at present. |

Has an excellent record at this track and won this 12 months ago off a 10lb higher mark (on soft); powers are on the wane now a 9yo and he's not made much of an impact this year, including when third here 22 days ago. |

All three wins on turf have come at Catterick; returned from a break with a close fourth there (7f, good to firm) last month but she failed to back that up at Thirsk (eighth of nine) last time; has something to prove again after that and others are preferred. |

Four-time winner here (6f/7f); looked to be on the way back when just edged out at Hamilton (1m, soft) last month and the winner has gone in again four times since, but he needs to put a poor effort at Ayr (1m, soft) this month behind him. |

Slow starts are becoming an issue and she's been well beaten on her last two starts; however, she showed spark when third over C&D (good) three runs ago and she won this last year (good to firm); not discounted. |

Won this race in 2022 and finished runner-up in two of three subsequent runnings; looked to be running into form again when fourth of eight at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 24 days ago and a very good run is likely. |

Won two in a row over C&D (good) in May/June; merely mid-division over 1m2f the next twice, here then at York, but the drop back down in trip and return to Ripon could both be positives and he's not ruled out. |

14-race maiden; ran okay over C&D on her stable debut in September but four heavy defeats have followed; went off fast at Catterick last week (7f) and weakened quickly once headed; she's likely to take advantage of her lowly mark at some point and needs a market check. |
