Beaten 14 times since landing a 5f double here in January but placed several times here in the interim, most recently runner-up over C&D; every chance he'll be in the mix. |

24th Mar 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Multiple course winner but drawn a blank since his C&D success in December 2020; ran better than the distance beaten suggests here ten days ago (hampered in the final 110 yards) but others still appeal more for win purposes. |

14th Mar 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Five wins to his name on the AW but the last of them was here over 7f in December 2020; has won over 6f and hinted at a revival here two starts ago; blinkers go on; could go well at a decent price. |

9th Mar 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Five-time course winner in 2020 (four over this trip) but he hasn't shown that much since returning from an absence, weakening to finish ninth of ten over C&D a week ago; first-time blinkers (replacing regular cheekpieces) need to make a big difference. |

20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
No AW win since March 2024; respectable showings, behind in-form rivals, over a range of trips (6f-1m) recently, without doing enough to suggest that she's primed to strike; drop back to 7f is helpful and she might have place possibilities; one of two for Iain Jardine. |

Won six times from seven starts between March and May last year, but losing run up to 22 and well held back with her former trainer at Newcastle (6f, AW; well backed) this month; enough to prove. |

30th May 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
His three wins have all come over 6f at Ayr; not in peak form earlier in the year and a wind operation didn't improve matters prior to his stable debut three weeks ago; enough to prove. |
33/1 |
|
10th 10 (11) |
8th May 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
A three-time C&D winner but he failed to hit top form for John Wainwright in three 6f Newcastle handicaps this winter; returns from a 94-day break now after a wind op (visor/tongue strap also back on) for his new yard and he can't be ruled out off a reduced mark. |
9/1 |

8th 8 (11) |
3rd Feb 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
His three wins have all come over 6f at Ayr; latest success was off this mark last July but he's been well below form in his last four starts, including in two runs over C&D this winter; has something to prove and he's 0-9 on AW. |

Sole win in 30 starts came in a 0-50 classified event over C&D in February, but out of the frame in all five starts since; others look more solid, |

Just the one win from 29 starts but it was a similar race to this on AW in February; not at his best when last seen in April and rain would be a concern (unraced on slower than good and once a non-runner due to soft ground). |

Brother to two winners for his yard, but he's yet to finish placed from 15 starts and was a remote last of nine here (6f) on his return last month; makes no appeal. |

Verdict
Kraken Power has a poor strike-rate but is a major player judged on his two placed efforts over C&D recently. CATHERINE CHROI is hardly prolific herself but has done well since joining Iain Jardine, including with a C&D win in October.[David Bellingham]
