1st Jan 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Talented hold-up performer; well backed when landing the corresponding race last year and he was even more impressive over 5f here in March (off 1lb higher); several good turf runs this summer, including an Ascot win, and his latest Listed fourth over C&D came in a strong race of its type for AW; one to consider. |

Appreciated the return to AW when getting up late to win a 6f handicap at Wolverhampton in late December; beaten three times since but there have been mitigating circumstances; a strong pace would suit him and he should go well at a big price. |

Second in a 5f Listed race here 13 months ago but it's been downhill all the way since then; lowly mark now but he hasn't looked like taking advantage this winter; return to 6f beneficial, at least. |
33/1 |

14th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
On long losing run and he's not posed a threat for some time, but he's very well treated on his best form last year and this is a big drop back in grade; hard to make a solid case but he's one to keep an eye on back up in trip; cheekpieces removed. |
16/1 |

11th 14 (5) |
17th Jan 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Losing run goes back to June 2023 and recent form doesn't suggest he's about to regain the winning thread; finished behind some of these opponents in last few outings. |

Showed major improvement to win twice on the AW in February, but his form has plateaued on turf and he was only tenth in the Portland here in September; below par both runs on ground softer than good; others appeal more. |

22nd Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
His most recent wins were 6f on AW but he tends to flag over this trip on turf and his stride shortened in this race 12 months ago; on a more favourable mark now but others should find greater reserves in the later stages. |
33/1 |

6th 4 (9) |
1st Jun 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
In good form on AW over the winter, winning twice over 6f; that trip stretches him on turf and neither of his Newmarket runs this spring have been too shabby; only 1lb higher than for his Lingfield success in March and the ground won't be an issue; first visit to Epsom but the return to 5f will suit and he's not out of it if he takes to the unique challenge. |
12/1 |
|
9th 5 (11) |
4th May 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
He'd been in good form on AW this winter prior to his midfield finish over C&D 17 days ago (race not run to suit); work to do with a couple of reopposing rivals but he did enough there to think he's still in top form; has the ability to play a leading role. |

Ex-John Ryan; both wins over 6f on AW; has struggled at the weights since taking a hit for an excellent Group 3 run at Ascot (good) in 2023 but he was back in form when runner-up in a good 6f race at Doncaster (soft) in October; back up 3lb but he's well worth a go at 5f; Ryan Moore is a rare booking now for new yard that won this in 2021. |

Down the field in 6f fast-ground handicaps the last twice; however, he's now 5lb lower than when a good third at Epsom (7f, good to soft) in May and perhaps the return to a slow surface will trigger a revival. |

0-16 this year but mainly at Class 2/3 level and he was worn down only late on by the reopposing Fiscal Policy dropped into Class 4 company at Wolverhampton (6f) last time; no reason why he won't give another good account. |

Picked up impressively when when winning this race 12 months ago off a 3lb lower mark; also ran a big race in a hot Group 3 here next time (closely matched with Willem Twee), taking his C&D record to 13214; left Andrew Balding prior to his return at Kempton in February and his three runs for his new stable have all been full of promise; hasn't had a huge amount of help from the handicapper as a consequence but Oisin Murphy is back in the saddle and a big run looks assured. |

10yo who isn't the same force as last year and may not want soft ground, but he's performed respectably in hot handicaps on his last few starts and is on a dangerous mark now dropping back down in grade; possible player. |

Top-of-the-trees in the best sprint handicaps down the years, winning the Stewards' Cup in 2020 and the Gold Cup in 2022; failed to beat a rival here 12 months ago but the weight has fallen off his back since and his run at the Curragh last week was encouraging; could well have a decent crack at this; refitted cheekpieces replace regular visor. |

An exposed 45-rated maiden prior to switching to AW in January but he's had an incredible winter, winning six handicaps here and soaring up the weights; only fourth in a Class 4 here last week though and he'll 9lb out of the weights if he gets in to this hot race. |

One of the success stories of the winter, reeling off a five-timer here (5f-7f) in January and February; winning spree came to an end when second past the post (subsequently demoted to third having bumped Pockley) but it was still a sound run and he's one to consider. |
