6th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Clear personal best when beating 14 rivals in 6f Leicester classified and ran well enough the last twice (also 6f) to be considered for this; return to 7f okay. |
4/1 |

18th Aug 2023 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Made a successful handicap debut here (7f) in February and doubled his tally at Leicester (6f, good; first-time cheekpieces) last month; fair fourth on soft ground last time and interesting back here, but he may prefer an extra furlong on a sharp track like this now. |

9st 0lb |
Just one win from 25 starts but that was over C&D and he ran well to finish fourth of 12 over C&D (good to soft) on his penultimate run; has been a bit up and down in five runs this season but his best form form puts him in the picture. |

His sole win from 24 starts came over Bath's extended 5f last May; has the same mark today and some minor honours this term, but the switch from cheekpieces to today's visor needs to make him step back up a notch. |

Not prolific but she's capable at this level and she was beaten less than one length at Newcastle 19 days ago (6f); can get it wrong at the start but she's a contender if breaking on terms. |

15th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has a patchy profile and was never involved at Newcastle (6f) last Monday but his last win was on Tapeta and he went close in a classified event over C&D in August; looks interesting on that form and he's not ruled out back up in trip; change of headgear. |
