17th Sep 2023 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Won quite comfortably at Carlisle (1m1f, good to firm) in June and gave another good account when third there (1m, good) last month but moves up from Class 6 today and the forecast rain is probably not in his favour. |

Ended losing streak with comfortable 1m1f win at Carlisle (good to firm) in June and ran at least as well when close third over that trip here last month; his recent defeat on soft ground can be overlooked but today's drop back to 7f may not be ideal. |

Won selling handicap (1m2f, turf) on final start for Charlie Johnston; unplaced favourite on debut for new stable but shaped as if he's still in form; however, this drop back in trip looks a negative. |

9st 5lb |
Standing dish here with four C&D wins on a variety of ground; 4lb higher than the most recent of those, last month; has run with credit on both starts since; handicapper probably in control but she is much respected at this venue. |

25th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Having a fine season with three 1m2f wins at Beverley and one over 1m1f at Carlisle, on varied ground; 5lb penalty after last week's win looks tough on the face of it, but she knuckled down and saw the race out so well that day that another telling challenge must not be ruled out. |

8st 10lb |
Knocking at the door over 1m2f/1m3f this summer, including here; form dipped over C&D latest but is interesting with Hollie Doyle back on board; sole start under this rider resulted in Ayr win (7f, heavy) last October. |

Sole win was over 7f at Ayr last October (heavy); runner-up over 1m3f/1m2f on last three starts, first two with blinkers, last time with a visor; a possible, but not straightforward. |

7th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Dual C&D winner (from marks in the mid 50s); started off the turf season reasonably well - placed on three occasions - but hasn't been quite so sharp in more recent times, including when finishing sixth of 11 (behind Elettaria) in first-time cheekpieces at Beverley last time. |

29th Jul 2023 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Has recorded five frame efforts at this track last year and he was beaten less than 3l over 7f here last time; could go well again back up in trip but his last win was over two years ago and his losing run is up to 30. |
10/1 |

8th Jul 2023 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |

Campaigned exclusively at Newcastle (AW) since September, making the frame several times; hard to rule out another good run on this switch back to turf but he's on a long losing sequence and it would be a concern if rain arrives (all turf wins on good/good to firm). |
25/1 |
