26th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
9yo who needs to produce more than he's managed the last twice but before those he was a creditable fifth in the Ayr Bronze Cup and he's dropped to a dangerous mark; not written off. |

10st 0lb |
Most of his nine wins on soft or heavy; finished close up in the Ayr Bronze Cup last month and ran well enough to think he's still in reasonable form when fifth in a higher grade than this at Haydock last time; in the mix. |

Most of his nine wins on soft or heavy; finished close up in the Ayr Bronze Cup last weekend which gives him a fighting chance here but he has a better overall record on that track than this one and remains on much the same mark as when well adrift of Trilby here in April. |

Dual fast-ground winner, including over this C&D in July; however, nowhere near that level since and easy enough to take on once again. |

Pops up with a big run every now and then, as when winning 17-runner handicap over 7f at York in July; however, he's struggled since and is going into the unknown stamina-wise today; has plenty to prove. |

9st 11lb |
Only win came in a C&D novice on heavy in November 2022; patchy form this season, running well when second at Ayr in April (7f, good; cheekpieces on for first time) but poorly on his other five starts; hard to fancy. |

23rd Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
1m novice winner on soft in April and acquitted himself well when sixth of 14 in the traditionally strong London Gold Cup at Newbury (1m2f) on his handicap debut in May; hasn't advanced his form since but most efforts have been respectable and the drop back in trip is worth a go after he faded into fifth over 8.6f at Wolverhampton latest. |

Fair since handicapping, given he hasn't looked to see out 1m2f a few times, latterly in cheekpieces; this is a touch easier down another 2lb and he holds each-way claims. |

Delivered on earlier promise when narrow winner of Thirsk novice (1m, soft) in April and was creditable sixth in valuable handicap when upped to 1m2f at Newbury (good) in May; good claims if judged on that evidence but wasn't in same form on last two outings (cheekpieces added last time). |

Showed the benefit of her debut run in June (1m, good to firm) when making all in a 6f novice at Carlisle (good to soft) two weeks later on final start for Keith Dalgleish; not disgraced under a penalty at Thirsk (7f, good) for new yard in August and she brings unexposed potential to this handicap debut. |
