24th Aug 2024 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Drops back in trip having failed to stay 2m at Ascot most recently; recorded a wide-margin win on the other course here (1m4f, good; off 3lb lower) on last attempt in this grade; difficult to dismiss. |

10th Aug 2024 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Easily made all at Newmarket (1m4f, good; 4lb higher today) in May; however, all three starts since (Royal Ascot, Newmarket and Ripon) have been pretty disappointing; sole attempt at 2m (stays 1m6f) was a respectable show on AW last October; whether he stays or not, a revival is needed. |

Found a chunk of improvement to easily make all on return at Newmarket (1m4f, good; 7lb higher today) in May; however, both starts since (Royal Ascot and Newmarket) have been pretty disappointing; unraced on good to soft and below form in his one 2023 appearance on soft. |

8st 11lb |
Useful middle-distance handicapper in his prime but last win was over two years ago and he's finished down the field in all five runs for current yard (first four in Bahrain); mark continues to fall and he wasn't beaten far at Southwell last time but others are preferred. |

7th Jun 2024 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Won off a 1lb higher mark at Thirsk last September (1m4f, good) but comfortably held in three subsequent starts, including Newmarket last time when beaten some 12l into third; needs to turn a corner. |

3rd 4 (5) |
17th May 2024 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Won off this mark at Thirsk (1m4f) last September but he ended last season on a low note and was beaten 11l at Epsom on his return last month; has bit to prove again and it would be a concern if forecast rain arrives (all turf wins on good/good to firm). |

7th Jun 2024 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Two wins at about 1m2f in France; most competitive form in Britain has been over hurdles (placed) and not wildly appealing on his Flat exploits. |
25/1 |

17th May 2024 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Two wins in France (1m2f/10.5f) in first half of last year but he has a mixed record under both codes in Britain; on reduced mark on this return to the Flat but losing run is mounting up and others are more convincing. |

21st Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 2f 37y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Returned after wind surgery with close thirds at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) and Windsor (11.4f, good) but he didn't find much when disappointing at Kempton last time; bit to prove again after that and he's had only one win in his last 17 starts. |

25th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Only recently returned from wind surgery and under positive rides has finished close up at Lingfield (1m4f AW) and Windsor (1m3.5f); had no excuses either time but he's unlikely to be far away. |
7/1 |

3rd 5 (8) |
16th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |

First run after wind surgery when unable to exploit a soft lead on the AW recently (1m4f); however, six of his seven wins have been on turf and he likes it around here; dangerously handicapped. |

9st 13lb |
4yo who has enjoyed a progressive season with three handicap wins (1m4f, good to soft/good; including here); won soft-ground novice over C&D last year; however, he's gone off the boil the last twice and has to bounce back. |

8st 13lb |
Progress has not been smooth but he's scored this season over 1m4f at Doncaster, Haydock and Ripon; fair fifth of nine at Ayr (1m5f, sole run on good to firm) on penultimate start perhaps dents his prospects and he was well beaten last term on sole attempt at 1m6f; however, he's looked good for those three wins, better than the winning margin suggests on last two occasions. |

27th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who won two in a row last winter (1m4f/1m3f, AW) and returned to form when going close in first-time blinkers (retained) at Windsor (1m, good to firm) recently; able to run off 2lb lower today (due to be 6lb higher in future) and can be bang there if confirming that latest promise. |
2/1 |

2nd 3 (4) |
17th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |

AW wins in the winter came over middle distances and he's been expensive to follow since handicapping; has still to prove he's as good on turf and it could well be all or nothing coming right back in distance in first-time headgear. |

All nine wins have come over further including two here (1m4f), but he ran well when beaten just over a length into third of 13 behind Ludo's Landing and Sonnerie Power over C&D last time; shortlisted. |
