7th Sep 2024 Soft 1m 1f 212y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Debut win at Newbury (1m2f) worked out well and wasn't far away from defying a penalty; went off too fast and didn't get home over 1m4f on the AW two months ago; gelded since and still has potential now tackling handicaps. |

10th Jul 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Made a winning debut at Newbury (1m2f, good) in May (form worked out well), but although a beaten favourite at Newmarket (1m2f, good) last month he did well to go down by just half a length having been keen early; this longer trip should suit and he is a half-brother to an AW winner; respected. |

200,000gns half-brother to US Grade 1 turf winner Rockemperor who looked like winning from some way out on his Newbury debut five weeks ago; has plenty of potential and will only have learned from that; holds leading claims. |

11th Oct 2024 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Unraced on firmer than good; won maiden at Chepstow in May; something looked amiss at Goodwood in August next time but he bounced back with a good fourth of 13 in handicap at Doncaster (1m4f, good to soft) four weeks ago, plugging on a length and a half behind Kildare Legend; needs to find extra but it's only his second attempt at the trip. |

Likeable type; all races at 1m2f, outspeeded by a Haggas newcomer on second start at Newbury (good) but made a good impression, despite the narrow verdict, when winning at Chepstow (good to soft; winner quite impressive since) in May; looks a likely type for handicaps. |

9st 4lb |
300,000euros yearling; progressive in four starts and finished a close second of five on handicap/AW debut at Newcastle (1m4f, Tapeta) last time; gelded since and swaps cheekpieces for blinkers; a contender back in a novice. |

300,000euros yearling; has shown promise on both starts, here (1m, good) on debut last September and also last month when third in a Newbury maiden (1m2f, good); further step up in trip looks positive; cheekpieces go on; should be thereabouts. |

11th Oct 2024 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Has had only four races; won novice at Kempton (1m3f, AW) in July; much better form when second to Divina Grace in Listed race on the July course here (1m4f, good to firm; travelled best) and third of five in Group 3 here (1m4f, soft; made most) two weeks ago, both in a style which makes 1m2f look an attractive option; improvement is needed but possible. |

Scored readily in a novice at Kempton (1m3f, AW) in July and improved markedly again when second of nine to Divina Grace in Listed race on the July course here (1m4f, good to firm; travelled best) one month later; has a bit to find, but after just three races (none on softer than good) she must bring realistic hopes of further progress. |

14th Dec 2024 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Fair form in his first three races this April-June which makes his two handicap runs in September a bit disappointing (remote fourth at Newmarket latterly); too soon to write off now switching to AW for the first time but he's another in this line-up who arrives with a bit to prove. |

27th Oct 2024 Good 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |

Seven-race maiden on Flat but has pretty useful form up to 1m3f; wore cheekpieces on last three starts, below form in valuable race on latest; non-runner twice at Fontwell when due to make his hurdling debut. |
8/1 |

7th 15 (6) |
11th Oct 2024 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |

Six-race maiden; pretty consistent form over (1m3f/1m2f) in his three handicaps, just in front of Sun God at Glorious Goodwood on first occasion; wore cheekpieces last two; non-runner when due to make his hurdling debut last Friday; likely to be fine back at 1m4f but this is a tough race in which to get off the mark. |

26th Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Fared a lot better since dropped to 1m for last three outings, which were also his only runs on soft/heavy, including his win at Nottingham this month and a fractional defeat at Windsor five days later; up another 4lb; 1m2f is the much greater concern but big player if he can see it out. |

14th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |

Has fared better since switched to 1m and appears well treated under a penalty for his emphatic success at Nottingham (heavy) last Wednesday when opening his account at the sixth attempt; open to further progress at this trip and commands respect. |

Five-race maiden who ran well in soft-ground handicap at Newmarket (first attempt over 1m) most recently; that form ties him in closely with Pressure's On; may improve further at this trip; shortlisted. |

Thrice-raced filly who isn't particularly solid on her maiden form and looks less interesting than the other handicap debutantes in this field; midfield (well held) over 1m3f here most recently. |

13th Sep 2024 Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 5 |

Big odds, slowly away and always behind over about 1m2f on good ground at Newmarket, Chester and Newbury this spring; gelded in June; makes his handicap debut over 6f further, in first-time headgear and on different ground, so there would be explanations were he to improve. |
