24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
With new yard this year and much improved when readily making all in good-ground handicaps at Epsom (1m2f) and York (1m4f) this spring; a first crack at 1m6f isn't fanciful but he needs to bounce back from a heavy defeat in 1m4f Listed race at Newmarket eight weeks ago. |

Better than ever on the Flat and over hurdles this year, most recently finishing second in a Listed hurdle at Kempton (2m, good); however, he was no match for the winner and is up against it this afternoon. |

9st 5lb |
Can race freely and has been hooded except on last two outings; reliable sort over 1m4f-1m6f and ideally suited by softer than good, as he showed again when second at Newbury (1m5f, heavy) last time; each-way candidate. |

Can race freely and was hooded throughout his career until going without in the Ebor at York (1m6f, good to firm) four weeks ago, in which he put up a bold show but faded into 11th of 20; reliable sort over 1m4f/1m6f, perhaps ideally suited by softer than good. |

Won 1m3f maiden (soft) on debut last April; improved form in defeat in Listed race and 1m5f Group 3 on next two starts, before a lesser show in Group 3 last August; given wind surgery three days later and reappeared with creditable fourth of 13 in handicap here (1m4f, good) one month ago; has a bit to find but today's longer trip can suit and this lightly raced 4yo remains open to progress. |

9th Nov 2024 Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Last five races were 1m6f and he ran well to be placed in three, third of 20 in the Ebor at York on last occasion after he made a big move from mid-division to challenge 2f out (1lb higher today); has a patchy and less extensive record on ground softer than good but that includes a short-head defeat last season on his sole start here (14.5f, soft); not dismissed. |

7th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 6f 1y Class 2 |

Won his only race here (a maiden in 2021); last four starts have been over 1m6f, running well to be placed in three; latest was the Ebor at York two weeks ago in which he made a big move from mid-division to challenge 2f out, finishing third of 20 (just in front of Epic Poet); up just 1lb and has to be in serious calculations. |

Three French wins on good to soft in 2022; probably acts on soft; 0-11 in Britain but he's down the weights and there's plentiful evidence this season that he can be competitive, including placed efforts over 2m and 1m4f on two of his last three starts; player. |

Impressed twice over 1m4f in the mud last autumn and won on soft over C&D this April; not so good since until her excellent second at Newbury (1m4f, heavy) 15 days ago, in which she travelled just as well as Miller Spirit for a long way but could not match him as the pair drew 8l clear; back up 3lb (Miller Spirit is up 7lb) but a strong each-way player. |

Impressed twice (once over C&D) in the mud last autumn and won off this mark on soft at Doncaster this April; not so good since, including twice when heavy going should have suited, but third at Newmarket (good to soft) last time was an upturn; needs to take another step back up the ladder but some hope is renewed. |

Has led; below best in two 1m4f runs in 2023; useful form in competitive 1m2f handicaps since and he wasn't far away on AW debut at Newcastle in June; however, he hasn't appreciated the switch to hurdles of late and those experiences might have unsettled him; first-time cheekpieces fitted. |
