9th Nov 2024 Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Rather mixed in sprint handicaps since winning at Navan (5f, good) in June but back on song in October and finished close up again last time out, in a 6f Naas Listed race (yielding; has won on soft); needs a bit more. |

Winner of four races, including a 5f Group 3 on heavy ground at Newbury last autumn; has run in several valuable sprint handicaps this season; appreciated the drop in class when second at the Curragh last Saturday; a lot more on his plate now. |

7th Oct 2023 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Beaten a neck in a Newbury Group 3 a fortnight ago (5f, heavy) but she had a relatively easy time of it up front, with a rail to help, and the form doesn't appeal as being reliable; penalised for a Listed win in July; others appeal more. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 4 (4) |
23rd Sep 2023 Heavy 0m 5f 34y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Two wins this season, namely a Chester handicap (5f, soft) in May and a York Listed event (5f, good to soft) in July; she's come up shy in Group 2 and Group 1 races the last twice but conditions shouldn't be an issue and she looks the likeliest leader in this field; should go well. |
7/2 |
|
9th 13 (2) |
25th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
She's opposable on the vast majority of her form but she was a C&D 2yo Listed winner in 2021 and had something to spare in a C&D Listed race (good to soft) last month; also effective on fast ground and she could be in with an each-way squeak now back here after a lesser run at Glorious Goodwood. |

11th Nov 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Ended unbeaten 3yo season by charging clear in Group 3 over C&D last June; had niggling setbacks since and hasn't appreciated the new experience of testing ground following 15 months off (in a Group 1 last time); this surface looks sure to suit better and it's fair to keep the faith for now. |

3rd 5 (2) |
23rd Sep 2023 Heavy 0m 5f 34y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Beaten a head on debut but she won her next four starts, notably a defeat of a respected rival in a Group 3 at Newcastle when last seen 455 days ago (6f, AW); her British Champions Sprint entry gives an idea of the regard she's held in but she's raced exclusively on good or quicker when on turf and she's never tackled 5f; good claims on ratings but there are risks. |

26th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Made low-key return to action at York's Ebor meeting but showed much more when fifth of ten to Blue Storm at Haydock (5f, soft) four weeks ago; down another 2lb and now turns up in the race in which she was runner-up (off 6lb higher) in 2022; she'll be fresher than most of these and should go well. |
12/1 |

5th 4 (7) |
28th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Positives include a competitive mark and a proven ability on bad ground; on the downside, her reappearance at York's Ebor meeting (in a race she'd won twice before) was a low-key one; tongue-tie tried there is now dispensed with; enough to prove. |

23rd Sep 2023 Heavy 0m 5f 34y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Tough sprinter who looks better than ever this season; cracking effort to win a Haydock handicap (5f, good) a fortnight ago and he bumped into a rapid improver at Doncaster on Saturday; effective on very soft ground and should make another bold bid. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
17th Sep 2023 Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 1 |
9st 13lb |
Solid form in Group races this year, notably his Goodwood third, and better than ever with his mighty weight-carrying effort in a good Haydock handicap last week; stayed on strongly off a good pace on that occasion to win with something to spare (good Topspeed figure); fully effective on soft and he's the one to beat on ratings; solid contender. |
11/8 |
|
1st 1 (3) |
9th Sep 2023 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Yet to win in 2023 but not for a lack of effort, regularly acquitting himself with credit in top sprints; near his best when third in a Group 2 at Goodwood five weeks ago and that form looks rock solid; going back up 6lb does leave him with something to find on this year's handicap runs though. |
