25th May 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Four course wins to his name and he rolled back the years when sweeping through to win a Class 5 handicap at Thirsk five weeks ago (6f, soft); not handicapped out of things up 6lb but this is a deeper race and it might not set up quite so favourably for him. |

Broke his maiden over C&D as a 2yo; recorded his first win since when taking a 6f handicap at Doncaster last June; three 6f runs for new yard this winter, showing fairly useful form on his stable debut but less good twice since; should be fine back at 5f; not ruled out. |

Dual winner (5f/6f) for Richard Fahey; ran to best on stable debut when close second here in December (Muscika fourth; solid form) but never a threat at Southwell next time; may well bounce back. |

9st 11lb |
Capable off this sort of mark and although this is a Class 5 in name, it's effectively a Class 6; solid effort in a better race over C&D last week; leading claims with Rossa Ryan booked. |
9/4 |
|
4th 9 (1) |
1st Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Best effort this year when third at Nottingham (6f) in May; 2-2 under Benoit De La Sayette when the ground is soft, the wins gained off higher marks in spring 2023; interesting on a similar surface. |
16/1 |

18th Sep 2024 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |

The winner of eight of her 48 starts; promising return from 112 days off at Chelmsford 18 days ago; should run her race but perhaps vulnerable to younger rivals. |

Two wins earlier in the season (7f, good to firm/good to soft) and she's returned to form to go close the last twice; could be bang there. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 5 (8) |
5th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Has raced mainly at 7f this year; did well in the spring, winning twice, and she surged back to form when second of 12 at Ayr two weeks ago; handles any ground and she's tactically versatile; solid contender. |

3rd Oct 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Returned to form when winning at Southwell (6f, AW) in August and went close there (6f) last time; he's run really well on all four visits to Newcastle and this in-form 6yo can play a leading role once more. |
4/1 |

4th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

Handy sort who returned to winning form at Carlisle (7f, good) in June and made it 2-3 over C&D when making all here nine days ago; respected under his 5lb penalty, especially if allowed his own way again. |

Won two in a row last June (7f, good/good to firm) and he's on a competitive mark on the pick of last season's form; however, he drops back to 6f for this reappearance and may be of greater interest when back up to 7f. |
