1st 2 (10) |
29th Jul 2023 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Lightly raced 7yo; notched a personal best when winning at Newmarket (1m, soft) last autumn and that form worked out well; could finish only in midfield when one of the fancied runners for the Royal Hunt Cup over C&D (good) five weeks ago, but he came third in his group and a return to today's expected softer ground should suit; high on the list. |
13/2 |

13th 10 (8) |
21st Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Lightly raced and progressive; acts on any ground; has form figures of 12211 in 1m handicaps, most recently winning off 8lb lower at Newmarket last October in a race that has worked out very well; won from Blue For You the time before; may improve further this term, despite being a 7yo now; trainer won this race in 2010 and 2021; very interesting contender. |

9st 3lb |
1m2f Listed race here (good to firm) last May was the last leg in a four-timer; no joy in his seven races since but he was pipped in Group 3 at Newbury (1m4f, good) on latest, form which gives him a big chance. |

Won a 1m2f Goodwood Listed (good to firm) last May and also placed in 1m4f Newmarket Group 3 (heavy) on final 4-y-o start; below that level in his two outings this year, though he suffered interference when 7l fifth of sixth in the Jockey Club Stakes at Newmarket (1m4f) latest. |

27th Jul 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Regular participant in major handicaps; best effort this season when fifth in the Victoria Cup over C&D; however, he's thoroughly exposed and has a poor record (form figures 000) in this contest. |

9th 5 (3) |

Has form figures of 822 in this contest; however, faces a harder task off current mark (5lb higher than 12 months ago) and it's unlikely he's getting better now aged seven. |

5th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Bolted up in last season's Victoria Cup over this C&D (soft) but went missing for 470 days afterwards; out of the frame in both starts since returning (the latest back here) but this race was immediately nominated after his latest outing; likely to have his conditions and should go well. |

7th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Well suited by drop to 7f in spring 2023, winning two races including soft-ground Victoria Cup here by 4l; subsequently absent until Goodwood two weeks ago when showing clear signs of retaining ability while seeming to need the run; interesting with that reappearance under his belt. |
5/1 |

25th Aug 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

2-2 since dropped to 7f, both wins in spring 2023, latest by 4l in the Victoria Cup at Ascot (soft); now 8lb higher but could well have more to offer at this distance; interesting on return from 15-month absence, particularly if the market speaks favourably. |

9yo who is without a win since October 2023; ran four times last winter, best effort on first occasion and he's often gone well after other breaks, so he needs a second look off this career-low mark. |

All seven wins have been on good or slower ground on turf; last success was in 2023 but he's well treated on old form and made some late gains when sixth of 15 at Nottingham (8.3f, good) last month; wasn't beaten far in that race and he could go well again on this step back up in trip. |

Four-time AW winner; has comparable form on turf but he took his record in this sphere to 0-17 when a creditable fourth of 15 in Epsom handicap (8.5f; good to soft) on reappearance 18 days ago; cheekpieces back on; it's unlikely that a first success on the grass will arrive now. |

C&D winner (good to soft) just over four years ago; on a losing run since going back-to-back at Nottingham and Newmarket (both heavy at around 1m) in the autumn of 2023 and recent efforts are not enough to tempt despite this falling mark. |
