22nd Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Sent handicapping for three wins (all on softer than good; unraced on heavy) and a controversial second from four starts this spring, all at odds on; good to firm may have been against him in June on his only appearance since; absent three months but he catches the eye with the ground back in his favour and his sire gives encouragement for 1m2f. |

25th Jun 2023 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |

Three wins and a controversial second in four handicap runs this year, climbing 31lb in the weights as a result; suspect there is more to come and he's one to take seriously; untested on faster than good to soft. |

22nd Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Drew 6l clear at Goodwood (1m2f, heavy) in May and good second at Salisbury (1m2f, soft) in July; however, last of 15 at Glorious Goodwood (1m2f, soft) on penultimate outing and well beaten on AW latest; probably needs not just a revival but a career best. |

Drew 6l clear at Goodwood (1m2f, heavy) in May and good second at Salisbury (1m2f, soft) last month; 20-1 but disappointing nonetheless, given her credentials on testing ground, when last of 15 at Glorious Goodwood (1m2f, soft) on latest outing; AW form last term was well below best 3yo efforts. |

18th Oct 2023 Heavy 1m 2f 50y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Made all for 6l success over C&D two weeks ago, taking record at Nottingham to 2-2 and record on soft/heavy to 3-5; should cope with going back up 6lb and holds very strong claims kept to same scenario. |
3/1 |

1st 1 (6) |
4th Oct 2023 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Sometimes front-runner; 317-day absence before this season, during which his second at Windsor and third at Newbury have been his best efforts, both over 1m2f on soft; upset in the stalls and withdrawn once in July; edging down the weights but may be vulnerable to an improver. |
7/2 |

3rd 2 (6) |
22nd Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Sometimes front-runner; below form during a light 2022 campaign but returned from 317-day absence with second of seven at Windsor (1m2f, soft) in May; upset in the stalls and withdrawn on his next intended start, before a backward step when favourite in returning cheekpieces (absent since May 2021) eight weeks ago; none too solid. |

10th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Got up late on over 1m2f at Newmarket this July; will need to better his subsequent efforts to take this, though soft ground wouldn't have been ideal the last time. |
14/1 |

4th 3 (5) |
22nd Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Ran well once on soft in 2020; first leg of a double last summer came here and he also got up late on over 1m2f at Newmarket this July; big player on that but he needs better than he delivered on last two outings; slowly away on latest. |
9/1 |
|
8th 8 (3) |
7th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Got up late to win a 1m2f handicap at Newmarket in July; couldn't land a blow when third (beaten over 6l) in a Racing League handicap at Chepstow four weeks ago; strong pace would enhance his claims. |

25th Nov 2023 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Below par at Newbury and Kempton the last twice but his last four wins have come over this C&D (including this race last year) and he's below his last winning mark; could play a leading role now back here. |
10/1 |
|
12th 5 (9) |
6th Nov 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
His last four wins have come over the extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton and he ran creditably over that C&D on his latest AW run (September); less good on slow turf last time but he's handicapped to go well. |
10/1 |
|
5th 1 (7) |
22nd Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |

Has found the AW more fruitful (last four wins at Wolverhampton in 2022) and this is his first turf run since making no impact twice last summer. |

30th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Returned from a long absence with a win at Sandown (1m2f, soft) in July; has also won on good going; however, he was only sixth of seven at Newbury (1m2f, soft) last Friday and is hard to fancy on the back of that. |
50/1 |

6th 5 (2) |
22nd Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Won 1m2f novice at Salisbury (good) in September of his 2021 season; off 632 days before handicap at Sandown (1m2f, soft) this July but was backed into favouritism and came with a steady run to get on top in the final 1f; 5lb higher today but only six starts in total and may have more to give. |
11/4 |

1st 10 (2) |
27th Jul 2023 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won a 1m2f novice at Salisbury (good) in September 2021 and runner-up in his two handicaps that autumn, with tongue tied on final occasion; unraced in 2022 (gelded last November) or 2023 but has a competitive mark if returning on song; worth a market check. |

raced wide, pulled hard, prominent, led 2nd, went clear 3rd, much reduced lead after 4 out, joined 3 out, soon headed and weakened quickly, pulled up before 2 out |

14th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
0-10 on the Flat but has some fair form, including a heavy-ground third for this stable at Sandown (1m; RPR 69) in August; should be okay stamina-wise over hurdles; each-way claims if he jumps well. |
10/1 |
|
7th 9 (9) |
22nd Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
8st 5lb |
Can front-run; looked a fair maiden for the Kublers, including twice at 1m2f, and when third of seven in handicap at Sandown (1m, heavy) on the second of three starts for new yard; back up in trip but others preferred. |
14/1 |
