Three wins last season; asserted in grand style at Salisbury (1m6f, soft) this May and followed that with third of 20 at Royal Ascot (2m4f, good to firm); good third at Newbury (2m) 13 days ago, staying on after Temporize dictated up front; could still be a very useful stayer in the making. |

First of last season's three wins came at this track one year ago; asserted in grand style to score easing down at Salisbury (1m6f, soft) this May and followed that with an excellent third of 20 at Royal Ascot (2m4f, good to firm); up another 2lb but he's a very useful stayer in the making. |

Quite useful on the Flat and won a Listed hurdle two seasons ago for Nicky Henderson; hasn't been herself this season but was highly tried the last time and interesting to see what Dan Skelton can do with her. |

Versatile regarding ground and trip; had a solid season overall (1m6f and 1m2f winner) last year and reappeared with a creditable fifth of 16 at Doncaster last month when three of today's rivals had his measure but not by much; can make the running if necessary and he too is in the mix if he adapts to this track. |

Has previous with today's rival Poncho and should have won at Southwell (1m6f; this rider eased him near the finish, earning a suspension) in February; however, it's difficult to be enthused by his subsequent efforts, principally when refusing to race at Chelmsford; safer to look elsewhere. |

9st 12lb |
Often front-runner; made a solid start to this season before a flop at Salisbury in May; first run since when respectable third at York 13 days ago, perhaps stretched by the 2m; his wins have got more infrequent but he's a renowned mud lover and may well be thereabouts. |

10st 0lb |
Clearcut winner at Kempton (1m4f, AW) in July and placed in valuable Lanark Silver Bell at Hamilton (1m4f, heavy) since but this season's record is very mixed and he was never dangerous in first-time cheekpieces (retained) last month; not an easy one to predict. |
8/1 |

9th 6 (15) |
7th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 6f 1y Class 2 |

Has an inconsistent profile but with easily his two best turf efforts having been delivered in the mud, including when third at Hamilton (1m4f) 15 days ago; stayed on late that day but underperformed in all four appearances at about 1m6f; connections reach for headgear. |

In-and-out profile and well beaten at Ascot last time, but the good ground may not have suited (sole turf win was on soft going); in good form on AW earlier this summer and he's not ruled out. |

Eight-race maiden who ran creditably in a hood over 1m6f on three outings this summer, on final occasion staying on from well off the pace when fourth on soft at Goodwood; cheekpieces instead when running poorly at Haydock (1m6f, heavy) 16 days ago, hanging left, but he now reverts to a hood. |

24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Six-race maiden who has shaped with some promise in 1m6f handicaps at Sandown (good) the last twice; looks a tad quirky but has possibilities if getting his act fully together. |
