Campaigned on AW since November, winning once; hasn't scored on turf since 2023 but is 8lb lower than last appearance in this sphere; attractively handicapped. |

Returned with 7f Wolverhampton maiden victory and she has held her form well since, solid third of six in 6f Hamilton handicap 11 days ago; possibilities off an unchanged mark. |

18th Oct 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Three wins over 6f/7f on turf this year but he didn't appear to get home when fifth of ten at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last time; has run well on Tapeta and the return to this trip should suit on Polytrack debut after a short break, but he is drawn wider than ideal. |

26th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Winless since 2022 and he came in last of 15 in 7f handicap here two weeks ago; he needs this longer trip to spark a resurgence. |

12th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Tumbled down the weights last year and there have been no signs of an imminent revival in three runs back; can't be recommended. |

17th Jan 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Regressive maiden who has completely blown the start in last two runs, looking reluctant and tailed off both times; comes with huge risk. |
25/1 |

14th 4 (13) |
23rd Oct 2023 Heavy 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Well held in three runs since picked up from Sir Michael Stoute, latterly when tailed off back back from a layoff; would want to see good support in first-time cheekpieces (worn a visor once) before considering her. |
50/1 |

swerved sharply right start, virtually refused to race, always behind |
14/1 |
Verdict
Heartrate produced a strong finish to win a 6f handicap here on his stable debut 17 days ago and he’s greatly respected but he may have to give best to ZOUKSTER. Ed Walker’s 3yo has won three times already this season, including on soft ground, and may not have reached his ceiling just yet.[Paul Smith]
