6th Jul 2024 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
In and out overall, but on a going day when winning this race last year (good ground) in emphatic fashion; also won Musselburgh handicap off top weight in March and has had possible excuses since (usual hood left off last time); could bounce back with the excellent Billy Loughnane a positive booking. |

18th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Group 3 winner at Sandown (good) last July whose later third in a Group 1 at the Curragh was undermined by the main contenders leaving their best form at home; yet to have a spring in his step on this track and he needs to find one to have any chance; usually hooded but not today. |

Won Group 3 at Sandown (5f, good) last July and third in Group 1 Flying Five at the Curragh (5f, good to yielding) in September; back to best to defy top weight in Musselburgh handicap (5f, good to soft) latest and this C&D winner is not ruled out back up in grade, but he's unproven on soft/heavy. |

Placed a few times on turf this year and will be suited by today's return to Tapeta but is a notoriously tricky horse to win with and his losing run stretches back to May 2021. |

5th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Fairly quiet start to the campaign but he's come good with a vengeance of late, winning over 5.5f at the York Ebor meeting and a close third in the Portland at Doncaster; a repeat of either effort would see him bang there once again; seems to handle most ground; first run at Ascot. |
3/1 |

3rd 12 (11) |
14th Sep 2024 Good 0m 5f 143y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Some good efforts this year and he kept on well to win in a big field at York's Ebor meeting (5.4f, good to firm) last month; he has a solid record at York and this is his first run here, but a 4lb rise for last time isn't harsh and there can be hope he'll be fine with the extra yardage; respected. |
11/1 |

1st 16 (6) |

He has been in better form than his figures suggest since returning from a stint in Bahrain, including his run here at the Dante meeting when he raced closest to the stands' rail; ran a cracker from a poor draw in this race 12 months ago and returns off a 4lb lower mark; last four visits to York have all produced good efforts and a big run can be expected. |

Yet to win this year but there have been some good efforts, including last week's Ayr Gold Cup second (visored for the first time); returning to 5f won't hurt and he's fully effective on slow ground; should run his race but others perhaps look stronger. |

Has won on good to soft; seen in best light when impressive in a similar race at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) in August; had an off day next time and she lacked the pace to get involved at Ayr since (extended 5f; respectable fourth) but returning to 6f with a stiff finish can suit; solid. |

Never better than when coming clear for 6f Listed win at Pontefract in August (good to firm; Rage Of Bamby over 4l back in fourth) but she was a different filly when dropping right out at York since (6f, good to soft; had won a big handicap on that ground in June); needs quick about-face. |
