All wins at Hamilton, latterly over this trip on good to soft ground last month; failed to back it up when a warm favourite 18 days ago; others look safer. |

2nd Oct 2023 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Refitted with cheekpieces when gaining his first success of 2023 over C&D eight days ago; saddles a 5lb penalty now but all his three career victories have come here so he can't be taken lightly with the headgear retained. |

Consistent over 6f in recent months and kept on for respectable fourth over C&D when given another crack at 7f a fortnight ago; probably won't be far away but may find others better handicapped. |

Threatening in recent starts, beaten a head into second at Leicester last month (6f, good to soft); up in class for this AW debut and others appeal more for win purposes. |

15th Nov 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Not seen to best effect in four starts for this stable but he's done enough to think he retains a portion of his Irish ability; full revival may come at a lower level than this. |
20/1 |
|
10th 7 (2) |
12th Oct 2023 Heavy 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
In a first-time hood (retained) he kept on for a 5l fourth at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) last month, having been detached at halfway; ran well on yielding to soft ground when trained in Ireland; worth another crack at 7f and he's not ruled out. |
14/1 |

24th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |

Not matched his Irish best in two runs for current stable (5f/6f) but there's still time; today's slower conditions should suit and the addition of a hood another potential plus point; considered. |

20th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
C&D winner on heavy 12 months ago and added three AW wins between December and May; on same mark as for latest success and although he hasn't been at his best on his last two starts, his track position hasn't been optimal on either occasion; the forecast rain won't hurt and he's one to consider. |

24th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |

Just missed out in a blanket finish at Doncaster (6f, soft) last month; creditable effort on faster ground last time and today's surface should be more to his liking; high on the list. |

9st 10lb |
Reliable sprinter who ran right up to his best when just missing out in a four-way photo at Doncaster three weeks ago; mark left unchanged and Graham Lee replaces a 7lb claimer; unraced on faster than good. |

Made all over C&D in May off a 6lb lower mark; some fair efforts since but she's usually seen in Class 6 company and this looks quite competitive for the grade. |

31st Jul 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Only eighth of 12 behind See My Baby Jive over C&D (good to soft) a fortnight ago but that may have come too soon, just four days after a close second at Carlisle (6f, good to soft); has won twice this year (and here last October) and she's a likely player if bouncing back from last time. |

Capitalised on some help from the handicapper when running away with a 6f handicap at Leicester in June (good to firm); fair efforts but not kicked on since; handles good to soft but something to prove if rain arrives. |

Not as good as he was but capitalised on a big drop down the weights when running away with a 6f handicap at Leicester in June; beaten fair and square off his revised mark eight weeks ago; the break may have done him good but others make more appeal. |

Inconsistent since completing a five-timer in 2021 and is not solid judged on form for present yard; however, has possibilities off current mark provided he takes well to first-time blinkers. |

11th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Three-time C&D winner (including a division of this two years ago) and he was running well in defeat last month; his turn may be getting near. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 1 (5) |
25th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Arrives on a long losing run but signalled he's ready to go in again when a very good second of ten in 5f Ayr handicap 13 days ago; he took this contest in 2021 so merits serious consideration. |
