1st 2 (6) |
7th Oct 2023 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Record of 3-4 on the AW but has comparable form on turf and ran right up to his best when third over 1m2f at Ayr 16 days ago; C&D winner in August who should be in the thick of it. |
6/1 |

3rd 3 (1) |
21st Sep 2023 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Has done well for shrewd current connections and scored at Wolverhampton (9.5f) last time, taking AW record to 3-4; only 1-11 on turf but the win came on most recent attempt in this sphere; steadily progressive and enters calculations. |
11/4 |

1st 6 (8) |
7th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Won his first two starts for this yard at this track, the second of them over C&D; added a Redcar handicap last month and ran another sound race when fourth at Newcastle last week (just in front of Carolus Magnus); should give it another good go. |

10th Oct 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Dual 1m winner; acts on a sound surface and good to soft; has slid gradually in the handicap and looks well treated on 2023 form; tongue-tie now accompanies cheekpieces; support for him would pique interest. |
16/1 |
|
12th 8 (2) |
15th Sep 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Below par more often than not this year but soft ground may not have suited the last twice (most recently at Carlisle on Wednesday) and before those he was a good second at Thirsk (1m, good); capable of a bold show. |
20/1 |
|
9th 2 (7) |
11th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won a five-runner race off 7lb higher over C&D in July last season (good to soft); one of his best runs since when second over 1m at Thirsk last month (good) but a lesser effort last time; a possible. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Veteran who has loads of Carlisle form, including six wins; however, has become inconsistent with age and isn't guaranteed to give his running. |
20/1 |
|
9th 11 (5) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
10yo who has an up-and-down profile last year and this is his first run since September; however, he was a good third over C&D (good) on his reappearance last April and won here (1m1f, good) in July; not ruled out each-way. |
25/1 |
|
6 (4) |
30th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Tough veteran; winner over 1m1f at Musselburgh in July (good) and close second to prolific winner Jannas Journey (won next time) over 7f at Musselburgh last time (good to soft); could go well but not sure 1m2f on soft are his ideal conditions. |

6th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Brings positives, being a dual course scorer who is back on last winning mark; the negative is that he dropped right away and finished tailed-off last on seasonal debut. |
25/1 |
|
12th 2 (4) |
16th Jun 2025 Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Has two wins on soft but this is his first run on the Flat since last October, and first since pulled up over hurdles in November, and was below his best on all three previous visits to this track; best watched. |
14/1 |

26th Nov 2024 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Little to get excited about in three starts over hurdles last year, but he has won six times on the Flat including this summer; could step forward now switched to a handicap. |
16/1 |
Verdict
All four runners can have their case argued but GAINSBOURG (nap) bolted up over 7f at Ayr last week and he can make light of his penalty and complete a quick hat-trick. Painters Palette is preferred to course regulars Strongbowe and Detective for the forecast spot.[Paul Smith]
