Off the mark in a small-field handicap at Kempton in March; better form in 1m handicaps at Newmarket and Haydock in May but his form dipped back at Haydock in June latest; drawn widest. |

14th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Made a winning return at Kempton (1m, AW) in March and two good efforts on turf in May, including when fourth of 11 in a warm handicap at Haydock (1m, good to firm); was behind Metal Merchant then, but may have been unlucky not to finish second; not so good back there a fortnight later (behind Good Gracious), but a player if bouncing back; stable won this in 2016 and 2019. |

9st 3lb |
8yo who won off this mark on his stable debut at Ripon (1m, good) last month; two reasonable performances have followed (1m/1m2f, good to firm/good) but he needs something extra to come out on top today. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 4 |

Has been around the block and mostly seen on the AW these days; he did win on debut for this yard at Ripon (1m, good; by a head) but then finished last at Sandown four days ago; unplaced in one previous run here. |

Probably better known for his AW exploits nowadays but he led close home to cause 28-1 surprise on recent stable debut at Ripon (1m, good), his ninth career success; nudged up only 1lb for that and is a rare runner here for his Middleham-based trainer; respected. |

Mostly consistent in handicaps without winning one for previous yard; well held on debut for this one but she won quite takingly at Beverley (1m, good to soft) 14 days ago, albeit at a lesser level; up 4lb to career-high mark and this will test her new-found improvement. |

All five wins at 7f, on AW and turf, but he couldn't raise his game when well held off just 1lb higher in a similar C&D handicap (good) in October and this again looks a step too far. |
