1m win here (heavy) last October came off a 6lb lower mark; solid efforts for new trainer here on his last two runs (extended 1m3f) but he could help set this up for a finisher. |

Has not fired this winter (big prices) but he's well treated again now and two of last season's three wins came over this C&D; stable also runs Sir Titan; revival is likely to coincide with market support. |

20th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Has taken off in recent weeks, making it four wins in a row (the last three under Tommie Jakes) when fending off another in-form filly (pair clear) at Southwell (1m) 11 days ago; steps up in grade and trip here but further progress can't be discounted. |

2-45, with the latest win coming at Bath (5.5f, good) last July; tailed off on his return at Salisbury (5f, good to firm; reported to have had a respiratory issue) two weeks ago; has form over this far but others are currently preferred. |

23rd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Had a good record at Bath until tailed off here (5f, heavy) last time in first-time blinkers; however, the ground may have been too much and he's back in cheekpieces today; has shown promise on soft going; could go well. |

8st 13lb |
Progressive on the AW over the winter, winning three 6f handicaps; further progress back on turf this summer, winning competitive Class 4 events in May and June before coming up just shy in her hat-trick bid last week (hit top gear too late); likely there is better to come from her but this is a step up in class. |

22nd Jul 2024 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

Three AW wins during the winter and she's found more progress when scoring over C&D (good) and at Newbury (6f, good to firm) in last two starts; up another 5lb but she should get a good tow into this race and is strongly respected in hat-trick bid. |

Money for him on the AW last time, down from 1m into a sprint for the first time and minus headgear for a change (goes in a first-time hood tonight); finished well held, though, and it's hard to back him after that. |

Usually ridden patiently; step back in right direction when keeping-on fifth at Kempton (7f, AW) this month, but his three turf wins in 2025 were gained over 1m and he'll probably need a strong pace to aim at over this trip. |
