14th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Can front-run; 11yo who is a smart hurdler and had two fourths and a third in recent years (twice on soft, once on good) from his three tilts at this race, despite his free-going tendencies; his stirring win at Newbury (1m5f) three weeks ago was career-best Flat form but the consequent 4lb penalty may help to ensure that he's again denied Cesarewitch glory. |

in touch with leaders, headway against far rail over 2f out, soon challenging, ridden and went clear with winner over 1f out, no extra final 110yds |

21st Jul 2023 Good To Soft 1m 3f 15y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Created a positive impression when winning at Haydock on his debut last September (1m, good to soft) and he followed that with a close third in a Group 1 in France one month later (1m, heavy); not at the same level on faster ground on his reappearance (1m2f, good); forecast slower conditions should help and he remains capable of better. |

9st 4lb |
Won on heavy ground at Newmarket (1m2f) last week on the same card that fellow mudlark Mr Alan finished second; not fully exposed but he's another contender who could have done with this race staying at Doncaster. |

9th Sep 2023 Good 1m 6f 1y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
It was a four-runner race at Goodwood a fortnight ago (1m4f, soft; made all) in which he returned to winning ways, and he's 3lb higher in a hotter race here; however, this 4yo hasn't had much racing and could still have more to offer; ran well over C&D last September and he's not ruled out. |

7th 3 (12) |
9th Sep 2023 Good 1m 6f 1y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Hasn't been at his best in Britain this year but he's dropped down the weights and took a step back in the right direction when mid-division in the Ebor at York, where he had to come from a long way back having been dropped in from his wide draw; has won here and he's not discounted. |
12/1 |

11th 11 (23) |
26th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Fifth in last year's Ebor; has a 9lb lower mark today, having been out of sorts in his last five runs; return to the form shown at Meydan and Riyadh in February would give him a great chance, but it's hard to predict with any confidence that he will do that. |

9st 8lb |
Won at Ascot (1m4f) in July and went close in the Mallard at Doncaster (14.5f) in September; however, has lacked consistency otherwise this year, which leaves him looking less than solid on AW debut. |

17th Oct 2023 Standard 1m 4f 99y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Said to have been unsuited by the 'tacky' (heavy) ground when bombing as favourite last time; had previously made a successful Tapeta debut off a 4lb lower mark and is best judged on that; should fare much better. |
7/1 |

7th 5 (1) |
23rd Sep 2023 Heavy 1m 5f 61y Class 2 |

1st 10 (5) |
13th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Comparatively fresh, having raced only twice this term; close second at Newbury (1m4f) on latest occasion, bouncing back from his spring flop; has low mileage and may do better still; one to consider on AW debut. |
