30th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Has seven wins on turf but is yet to score on AW; spoiled his chance by being slowly away on his last two starts; first-time visor replaces usual blinkers; needs to start on terms. |

16th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Has form figures of 24132 in Class 5 events (AW/turf) for current stable, most recently a close second at Windsor on penultimate start; solid-looking chance back in this grade. |

3rd Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Got off the mark on turf at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) in June off 1lb lower mark when making all; he had to use up energy to lead from a wide stall and didn't have much left once headed when fifth at Beverley (8.5f, good to firm) nine days ago; chance if able to dominate from the front. |

25th Aug 2024 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Free-going front-runner who has won three times this year, most recently here (7.4f, good to firm) in June; suffered worrying dip in form afterwards but steadied the ship with respectable fourth at Epsom (7f, good) last week and will be fine over today's trip; no surprise if he makes a bold bid. |

16th Aug 2024 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |

Triple all-the-way winner already in 2024 and perfectly drawn to attack this time, but can sometimes prove too free for his own good and hasn't beaten anything home since the most recent success; risks attached. |

31st Aug 2024 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Back-to-back AW wins in the spring, latterly over C&D; made a good return from eight weeks off when second at Brighton (7f, good to firm) 11 days ago; considered back here. |
3/1 |

2nd 8 (6) |
20th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Form has dipped slightly since two AW wins in March/April and remains on a 2lb higher mark than for the most recent win; however, he posted a better effort at Newbury in June, having been denied a clear run before finishing his race off well, and is worth considering on the back of that. |

9st 6lb |
Four wins for James Fanshawe, including at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) in October, but well held in both runs for this yard; ran into some trouble at Wolverhampton last time but still 3lb higher than for her last win and others are preferred; blinkers removed. |

Four wins for James Fanshawe, including at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) in October, but she made a low-key start for this yard at Kempton ten days ago; that was after a short break but her three AW wins have all been in Class 6 events and she could be vulnerable again at this new trip. |

17th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won this race last year and he recorded his fourth C&D win when scoring on soft last month; no joy under a penalty (good) last time but that may have come too soon and he's 3lb lower here on this return to slow ground; dangerous if he can bounce back. |

17th Sep 2024 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |

Just did enough to score over C&D (soft) off reduced mark eight days ago; might be a shade vulnerable under 4lb penalty today but will be fine on the faster ground and is evidently in good nick. |
5/1 |

1st 4 (1) |
9th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Acts on soft and good to firm; three-time C&D winner off higher marks; best form this season when runner-up on three occasions, most recently here eight days ago; capable of going one better, being so well handicapped. |

8th Mar 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
All five wins at around 1m on the AW, the latest a narrow success at Lingfield (Polytrack; first-time tongue-tie) last month; again ran well when third of eight at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) 16 days later and his best form would bring him right into it. |
10/1 |

18th Feb 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won consecutive AW races in 2022 (over C&D) and 2023; out of sorts in 2024 but the first-time tongue-tie seemed to help at Lingfield recently when he survived serious scrimmaging and racing wide on the home bend before leading close home; every chance back up 2lb. |

2nd Feb 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

Completed AW doubles in 2022 and 2023; not in same form since and chance largely depends on how well he responds to first-time tongue-tie. |

10st 5lb |
Comes into this in red-hot form winning three of his last four starts, the latest of which was at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) on Wednesday; up another 8lb including his penalty and stall 11 not ideal, but he won that last race with a good deal in hand and the return to this trip is no problem. |

Resumes on a workable mark, having lost his way last backend, but he's a serial hard-puller who's done his winning after a recent run, so may be best watched this time. |
