29th Jun 2024 Good 1m 2f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Lightly-raced but decidedly useful colt; has won both of his starts this season, most notably when landing a valuable handicap at Epsom's Derby meeting; his preference for an ease in the ground though would appear a significant negative. |

31st May 2024 Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Made all at Pontefract (1m2f, soft) in April on stable/seasonal debut, taking record to 3-5; that was his first run on softer than good and he's been withdrawn twice since due to "unsuitable ground" (good to firm/good); 5lb higher now but dominant last time, lightly raced and may well still do better. |

24th Aug 2024 Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |

Quite a useful Flat performer (including on soft); off the mark over hurdles over C&D last month (good) when scoring by a neck; up 5lb; should go well again. |

20th Jul 2024 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Useful Flat-racer who was placed in two quite valuable 1m2f handicaps this spring; 0-5 over hurdles but was very respectable third in a soft-ground C&D maiden last summer and ought to be very competitive off his current handicap mark. |
3/1 |

15th May 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |

Won at Pontefract (1m2f) on 2023 reappearance; 0-9 since, closest when second off today's mark in the same Pontefract race (soft) on latest outing; unraced beyond 1m2f on Flat (some minor honours over hurdles) but it now looks worth the attempt. |

22nd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Registered a hat-trick in good-ground handicaps at Lingfield (1m2f), Pontefract (1m4f) and Chester (10.3f) this May/June; however, Listed race at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm; 10-1) on latest start saw a heavy defeat. |

10th 4 (7) |
20th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Form figures of 32122111, defying a 6lb rise when completing a handicap hat-trick in cosy fashion at Chester (extended 1m2f) three weeks ago; a fair bit more will be needed now stepping up in class but she can't be discounted as a thriving sort from a leading stable; has raced only on good or softer. |

15th Jun 2024 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 3 |
10st 4lb |
Won at Redcar (1m2f, soft) early last month; tailed off penultimate outing but ran respectably on starts either side; the big negative is that, in a 51-race career, he was below form on his only two attempts beyond 10.4f. |
14/1 |
6th 4 (2) |
30th May 2024 Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
C&D winner who went very close in this race last year (good to firm) and won at Redcar (1m2f, soft) early this month; not at the same level on his two runs since and tailed off at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) most recently, but perhaps the return to slow ground will prompt a revival. |

12th Aug 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
His only win was back in 2020 in a Tipperary maiden; has threatened a few times since and wasn't beaten all that far at York last time, but others appeal more for the win; tries cheekpieces. |

12th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Only win in 23 attempts was at Tipperary on second juvenile start (7f, good to yielding) when with Joseph O'Brien; some fair form since, notably when third over C&D off 4lb higher in May (good); poor run over C&D (good to soft) latest. |
10/1 |
13th 7 (1) |
15th Jun 2024 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 3 |

Acts on soft; beaten all 22 times since winning in 2020 on second start; creditable third in two of six races this season, including in 20-runner C&D race on penultimate outing; case can be made but not the percentage call. |

None too consistent and his Ayr win last September was the only time he was placed in 2023; didn't show much on first three outings this year but a third of 12 at Carlisle (1m3f, good to firm; also acts on good to soft) last time was more encouraging; well treated on best form and not ruled out. |

Some hope in the pedigree for 1m4f, but hasn't lasted home in three previous outings at the trip, markedly so at Ripon latest; back down from class 2 company and on a fine mark, but others more upwardly mobile. |

Five-time winner for Ralph Beckett; more miss than hit in his six races for new yard but he was second this season in the Zetland Gold Cup at Redcar and on AW at Chelmsford next time; Tapeta debut when behind on latest outing; vast majority of his career has been at about 1m2f. |

Veteran who's had a superlative career; versatile regarding distance and tactics; not quite so good this season but Ayr in June still saw him break a losing run and he was a close fourth at Glorious Goodwood; respectable fifth at York 15 days ago; capable of a prominent finish. |

Veteran who's had a superlative career, with plenty of good places in recent years before Ayr (1m5f) this June saw him break a losing run; sixth in a top 1m2f race last time but he's long been versatile regarding trip; placed at this meeting for the last three seasons, third in this race for the last two, and he remains in serious each-way calculations. |
