23rd Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Won off a career-low chase mark at Fontwell (3m2f, good; refitted cheekpieces) in November and slower ground wouldn't have been ideal the last twice; none too reliable these days at the best of times. |
12/1 |

31st Jan 2025 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Very inconsistent this season and his win at Fontwell (good ground; 5lb higher today) on penultimate start was over 3m2f; his soft-ground form was two years ago and he pulled up on his only appearance on heavy. |

3rd Aug 2023 Good 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Stable debut when making most over C&D last month to beat Atlantic Storm (pair well clear): up 7lb but handles softer ground and Brian Hughes again rides; strong claims if able to repeat the effort. |

16th Jul 2023 Good 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Made all in first-time cheekpieces at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) for Evan Williams in February but was quickly back in the doldrums next time; sold for £6,5000 in May; no cheekpieces for today's stable debut; versatile regarding ground but not an easy horse to predict. |

18th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 4f 19y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Conditions suit and although 2lb out of the handicap is on a good mark; hasn't been in top form this season, though fair run when fourth at Wetherby last time (2m5f, good). |
9/1 |

4th 8 |
6th Mar 2023 Good 2m 5f 75y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
He's dropped to a mark 15lb lower than when winning at Catterick (2m3f, good) last January and there have been some fair efforts this season; not ruled out but it's been a patchy campaign and others appeal more. |

Verdict
Each runner has something to take on trust, in the case of Fontwell scorer Arcade Attraction (second choice) the belief that the cheekpieces will continue to help him defy historically attractive marks. Yet to complete during a somewhat briefer chasing career to date, but similarly cut some slack by the assessor, BLACKCAUSEWAY is selected as an alternative, assuming an affirmative reaction to first-time cheekpieces is forthcoming.
