15th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Made giant strides last year, notably when getting up late in the Portland at Doncaster (5.5f, good); better than ever when overcoming a troubled passage to win at Musselburgh last month (5f, good to soft); hard to believe he's not still well treated up 4lb and he looks every inch a Pattern-racer in waiting; whether today's combination of a fast 5f on quick ground will see him to best effect remains to be seen. |

Course winner; had a purple patch on AW this year, winning four 5f handicaps on the bounce, and he also ran well back on turf when third at Musselburgh seven weeks ago; not much room for error off this mark though. |

Reliable for some time but things have really clicked this year and he comes here chasing a five-timer after four 5f wins at Newcastle; climbed up the weights as a result but he ran well on his only visit to Musselburgh last April (second to one who ended the year rated 24lb higher); one to take seriously in current form. |

Three convincing 6f wins at Southwell and Lingfield in March and April but he went up 20lb in total and the good days ended with a recent defeat; left on the same mark and Warren Fentiman's claim might not be enough to claw back the advantage. |

He has returned from nine months off in rude health, second at Newcastle last month before winning twice over C&D and completing his hat-trick at Lingfield on Good Friday; now 20lb higher than for the first win and he'll need to reach new heights to make it a four-timer. |

Ex-Irish 4yo who posted best effort for current stable when keeping-on second at Doncaster (5f, soft) in March; safely held in first-time hood at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft) a fortnight ago but that race was quite competitive and he can pose a potent threat here if first-time cheekpieces have positive effect. |

Patchy form since winning at Ayr (6f, good to soft) in August and just 1-22 on the AW, but it's been a while since she raced down at this level; hood returns for the first time since her second start at the beginning of 2022; each-way shout. |

He was well backed when winning a small-field C&D handicap in May but even his most fervent supporters would have struggled to envisage the progress that has followed this summer, adding six more sprint handicaps and soaring up the weights; better than ever when second at York's Ebor meeting (5.5f, good to firm) last month, form that has been well advertised since; races off the same mark today and he is one of two good chances for Jim Goldie. |

21st Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Began the season looking an exposed handicapper but he's made remarkable progress, winning seven times and climbing 29lb in the weights; early speed has been the feature of his wins and this track is likely to suit better than Ascot last time; Paul Mulrennan is back on board today and he shouldn't be passed over lightly. |

10th Aug 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Having a remarkable season, notching win number seven for the campaign at Hamilton last Saturday; with a 6lb rise he's up a total of 31lb since his first success in the spring, but he may not have reached his ceiling just yet; equally effective at 5f/6f, and good ground or firmer is ideal. |
