Had a fine year in 2023, his first with this stable, when an Ayr Gold Cup win was the highlight; has only run well in one of his four starts this year and hopes rest on a wind operation having a positive effect; second and first in two runs at Newcastle. |

Losing run goes back to August 2023 but he's run some cracking races in major handicaps at 7f and 6f and his third of six in a 7f Listed race at Redcar (soft) in October was no mean effort either; needs a good pace back at 6f but capable of being involved if he gets it. |

Boasts an excellent strike-rate (8-19) and has developed into a top-drawer sprinter this season, bagging his first Group 1 in the Sprint Cup at Haydock (6f, good; 25-1; beat Kind Of Blue by a head) last month; loves the mud (3-3 on soft ground); unplaced all four outings at Ascot but better than the bare result on at least two of those occasions; solid chance. |

Highly progressive last year and reappeared with Listed win at Doncaster (6f, soft) in March; below best when sixth in the Group 2 Duke of York (6f, good) in May and bounced back with Group 3 Chipchase win at Newcastle (6f, AW) in June; probably needs slow ground to be in with a chance. |

Inconsistent this year and the visor worn on his last three starts is now left off; however, he has a very good record here, winning this race last season (good) and finishing a close third over C&D (soft) two starts ago when the slow pace was against him; firmly in calculations off a handy mark. |

Over two years since the last of his 15 wins and he's on a retrieval mission after a series of modest efforts since August; this is a marked drop in class for him though and a revival wouldn't be a total shock. |

Winner of a big 6f handicap on soft but nearly all of his 15 wins have come on good or quicker; under the handicapper's thumb this year but he's been dropped 3lb for a respectable run in the Ayr Silver Cup last Saturday and he does have a good record here, 2-4 in C&D handicaps. |

Another old faithful of the sprint division; has yet to run poorly here and hasn't been far away in each of the last three runnings of the Gold Cup (third in 2021); on a losing run of more than two years though and unfortunately has run enough good races in 2024 to keep him high in the weights. |

Front-runner; only ninth in the race 12 months ago off a 6lb lower mark; revitalised by the addition of blinkers this summer, winning 6f/7f handicaps at Newbury and placed in the Wokingham and Bunbury Cup; should make a bold bid but could be a sitting duck late on. |

Had a productive campaign in 2022, although he had an off day at this meeting when odds-on for the consolation race (blew the start); the handicapper won the battle in 2023 but he has turned things around this summer, making all to beat Rumstar at Newbury in May and in the frame in the Wokingham and Bunbury Cup since; 1lb higher this time but should make another good fist of it. |

Smart handicapper who made a flying start to the season, second at Redcar before seeing off 20 rivals at York's Dante meeting; ran to form in the Wokingham, Stewards' Cup and Ayr Gold Cup before a more subdued effort at York four weeks ago (raced on the favoured far side); third, albeit well beaten, over C&D in Group 3 company in one AW start; shouldn't be far away. |

Looked a strong candidate for major sprint handicap honours last spring but he came up short when favourite/joint favourite in the Wokingham/Stewards' Cup/this race in 2023; two of his four runs this year bring him right into the reckoning, notably his third in the Wokingham, but he's 3lb higher today and others appeal more. |

14th Sep 2024 Good 0m 5f 143y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Has dropped to a mark 2lb lower than when winning a 15-runner handicap at Newmarket (6f, good) in May; capable if at the top of his game but that hasn't been the case on his five starts since that latest victory. |

7th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
C&D winner; on the same mark as when beating 14 rivals in a valuable Newmarket handicap at the Guineas meeting; mixed bag since but he wasn't beaten far from a moderate draw at York last time and he has the ability to feature, for all there are risks involved. |

21st Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Consistency not his forte but there's a big engine there when the mood takes him, as when seeing off his 14 rivals in a 6f handicap at Newmarket's Guineas meeting; raced freely in a first-time visor at Ascot 11 days ago, left behind by Holkham Bay late on but having helped force a strong pace; not a solid option but a better effort wouldn't be a huge shock. |

5th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Eight-time turf winner, the latest a fine front-running effort at Chester (7f, heavy) last month; only midfield in the Ayr Silver Cup a fortnight ago; shaped well in one AW run in April (seasonal debut); widest draw off-putting though. |

21st Sep 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Six of his last seven starts have been at Chester, winning over 5f (good) in July and nailing it from the front on heavy (7f) last week; better handicapped now than when beating only one home in the Gold Cup last September but this is a tough call. |

25th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
10yo who isn't the same force as last year and may not want soft ground, but he's performed respectably in hot handicaps on his last few starts and is on a dangerous mark now dropping back down in grade; possible player. |
11/2 |

7th 4 (12) |
21st Sep 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Top-of-the-trees in the best sprint handicaps down the years, winning the Stewards' Cup in 2020 and the Gold Cup in 2022; failed to beat a rival here 12 months ago but the weight has fallen off his back since and his run at the Curragh last week was encouraging; could well have a decent crack at this; refitted cheekpieces replace regular visor. |
