9st 7lb |
11-race maiden under both codes but he gave it a good shot from the front when third of ten in a Lingfield handicap (1m5f, AW) last month; conditions should be fine on this return to turf and he's respected off 1lb lower than last time. |

9st 4lb |
Beaten half a length or less in his last two starts at Newmarket (1m2f/1m4f); has winning form on Tapeta (at Wolverhampton) and is 8lb lower than when last on the AW, but losing run up to 14; needs a bit more. |

23rd Aug 2024 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Has won four middle-distance handicaps and latest was off 9lb higher at Chester (1m4f, good) last June; 0-13 since but he bounced back with a close call over 1m2f here last Friday and is a big player if he can repeat that form (due to be 2lb higher in future). |

9st 13lb |
Won off 5lb higher on Tapeta earlier this year and returned to form with a 3l third behind The Colorist at Lingfield four weeks ago; will need more again, though. |

11th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won on Polytrack as 2yo but three later wins on Tapeta, at 1m4f to 1m6f; hard to recommend at present as he's been a slow starter since his most recent win in March and was way back at Wolverhampton in August. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
11st 13lb |
Useful Flat performer, winning three times and placing on a further nine occasions from 17 turf starts; took third at Gowran in April (1m4f, soft) and went one place better when beaten a neck at Musselburgh next time (2m, good); has often been frustrating, as shown by hurdles record 1-20; second eight times. |

12st 0lb |
Record of 1-19 over timber; three-time winner on the Flat has placed in two starts in that sphere since falling over hurdles at Leopardstown in March; recent form suggests she's fit and healthy but poor strike rate over hurdles is off-putting. |

Maiden in all spheres but ran well enough in first-time blinkers at Listowel last time; the headgear is retained and can be involved off the same mark. |

midfield, headway and in touch with leaders after 3 out, went fourth before 2 out, no impression when mistake last, kept on |
