Has something of an all-or-nothing profile, winning three out of four last summer but soundly beaten in the Cambridgeshire and Victoria Cup since; at least this race is weaker, and he'd looked most progressive when scoring over 1m here (good) a year ago; impossible to rule out. |

9st 9lb |
Disappointing in Listed Wolferton Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) last month but perhaps the ground was too lively (wins on good-soft); prior to that he was very impressive in a handicap over this C&D (good) and on that evidence today's 10lb higher mark may not be beyond him. |

Slammed this year's Lincoln winner Mr Professor at Hamilton (1m1f, soft) on final 3yo outing and produced an equally striking performance when readily following up off 10lb higher at the York Dante meeting (about 1m2f, good) on his reappearance in May; there's little doubt he can make his presence felt outside handicaps; player for a yard seeking a third win in this since 2020. |

0-7; having been gelded and undergone wind surgery he made a promising return/stable debut when third of 16 at Wetherby (1m2f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) last month, but twice held since including when around 5l behind Blueflagflyinghigh at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) nine days ago; switch to blinkers will need to make a difference. |

On the up for George Boughey this year, winning over 1m at Newcastle in February and 7f at Kempton in April; ran well over 7f in week one of this year's Racing League (7f, good to firm); could yet rate higher on AW and cheekpieces are now tried. |

29th Jul 2023 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Just fair form in three runs over 7f but he retains potential having been short of room when a one-paced third of 12 at Haydock (good) three weeks ago; should be at least as effective over this longer trip and moves into handicaps on a workable mark considering his fairly useful pedigree; shortlisted. |

Won on the AW for Richard Hannon; 0-8 on turf; best effort for current yard came in a Killarney claimer in July (1m, good) when wearing a tongue tie and visor, which are back on today; well-beaten in two handicaps since and is unproven on soft; others look more likely. |

26th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Has had a good first season with David O'Meara, including a C&D win (good) in July; back on the up when second at Ascot (7f, soft) in September and caught the eye when meeting all sorts of trouble in the Challenge Cup back there three weeks ago; high on the shortlist. |
6/1 |

19th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Reserve; two wins for new yard this term (7f, AW/good) and he hasn't enjoyed a clear passage in 7f handicaps here the last twice (soft), finishing runner-up last month then eighth of 18 in the Challenge Cup a fortnight ago; kept on nicely each time and the return to 1m could be a positive move. |
16/1 |

5th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

First two wins came on the AW but he showed he could do it on turf as well when successful at Doncaster (7f, good) in July; had two of these behind when second of 13 over C&D (soft) four weeks ago; 2lb higher but may still prove the pick of the stable's four runners; respected. |

Both wins over 1m on soft and although he hasn't found a great deal in two C&D runs since back from a break (favourite latest) they were both in a higher grade; should have more to come at this level; on the premises. |
