7th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 37y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
9yo who hasn't been at his very best this year and can be slowly away; however, this five-time Group 3 winner has still shown considerable spark in 2024, including here last time, and he may well be in the mix. |

3rd Jun 2023 Good 1m 0f 113y Class 1 |
8st 10lb |
Unexposed 3yo who has a solid record, with form figures of 2122; met some traffic on his way to finishing second in a conditions stakes at Goodwood (1m) most recently and held Group 1 entries at the time of that effort behind a smart-looking winner who has St James's Palace hopes; bred to rate higher still, being from an excellent family; hood (worn all starts) is removed; gets a big weight-for-age allowance and commands respect. |

2nd 4 (6) |
5th May 2023 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
7f maiden winner at Newmarket last September; much-improved display on his reappearance in the 1m1f Feilden Stakes at Newmarket, surging to the front over 1f out but picked off in the final furlong by a promising colt; dropping back to 1m shouldn't be a problem; leading claims. |
10/11 |

2nd 8 (2) |
19th Apr 2023 Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Irish 2,000 Guineas entry; dam unraced half-sister to 1m2f Group 1 winner Izzi Top, plus smart pair Jazzi Top and Emaraaty, out of 1m2f Group 1-winning half-sister to Kayf Tara and Opera House; hooded both starts; beaten a nose at Leicester and went one better in a maiden here (again 7f on good) later in September, again travelling best before having to battle; very promising representative of trainer who won this race with one at 22-1 last year. |

27th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Veteran who's become hard to win with and been on the downgrade this year, coming 22lb down the weights; late in the day to be making his Tapeta debut in a new form of headgear and will need some luck if dropped in as usual from stall 11. |

9st 8lb |
Ran a cracker from the front at York in May (extended 1m2f) and he turns up here off a 7lb lower mark after some struggles in classy company; ran well in one start at this track and a more positive showing is expected in this weaker race. |
