9st 9lb |
Disappointing in Listed Wolferton Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) last month but perhaps the ground was too lively (wins on good-soft); prior to that he was very impressive in a handicap over this C&D (good) and on that evidence today's 10lb higher mark may not be beyond him. |

Slammed this year's Lincoln winner Mr Professor at Hamilton (1m1f, soft) on final 3yo outing and produced an equally striking performance when readily following up off 10lb higher at the York Dante meeting (about 1m2f, good) on his reappearance in May; there's little doubt he can make his presence felt outside handicaps; player for a yard seeking a third win in this since 2020. |

Won this a shade cosily 12 months ago (good to firm) on her final outing of the season; has run with plenty of credit when third in big-field C&D handicaps against males on her two runs this term and she's a solid contender. |

Won three of five handicaps at about 1m2f (all on good to firm), and wasn't too stressed in the latest of them last August; put up a good show in third of 16 over C&D (good) in May on first run since August and may yet have a bit up her sleeve. |

Won at Doncaster (1m2f, soft) in March and back on the scoresheet at Chester (1m2f, good to soft) last Saturday, winning by 8l on what was Franny Norton's final ride; hit with 9lb rise and needs to prove that latest level of performance was no one-off, but entitled to respect given his dominance. |

27th Sep 2024 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Acts on good to soft, unraced on soft; French Listed win in 2022; held up towards rear on first four starts for new yard this term, finishing on the premises in three top handicaps (1m4f, 1n2f and 1m6f) despite sometimes meeting traffic problems; ridden in midfield instead in good handicap at Haydock (1m6f, good) three weeks ago and this time got there in plenty of time, going on to win by a neck; that handicap form makes him a player at this level. |
5/2 |

1st 4 (9) |
7th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 6f 1y Class 2 |

Held up towards rear for new yard this term; acts on good to soft and good to firm; kept on strongly for second of 19 at Royal Ascot (1m4f); met traffic problems in top 1m2f handicap at York next time but saw plenty of daylight out wide in the 1m6f Ebor there two weeks ago, running well again as he boxed on into fourth of 20 just behind Oneforthegutter; each-way contender. |
9/2 |

4th 13 (16) |
24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |

New yard this year; kept on strongly from the back for second of 19 at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm); drawn wide again in top 1m2f handicap here (good to soft) six weeks ago and met traffic problems before running on into fifth; this new trip is bit of a guess but the Ascot run gives plenty of hope and his 2022 French form was a bit better; the strong suspicion is that he's capable of winning a good race off this mark. |

Many good runs in defeat to go with three 1m2f wins (including on soft) in 2024, the latest at Pontefract in September; seemingly handles heavy, too, but was down the field on the latter surface at Nottingham recently; revival not ruled out despite his long season. |

Reserve; has posted soft-ground wins this season at Hamilton (1m1f) and over C&D; however, he's finished merely mid-division in big fields the last twice (1m1f/1m, soft) and others are more compelling. |

Held up; in fine form on soft/heavy ground this autumn and strong-finishing third of 17 at this track two weeks ago showed he is capable of better still, as he met plenty of trouble in running; entire handicap career (14 races) has been spent at about 1m2f and he's not at all sure to get 1m4f on pedigree, but he's shaping as if the new trip is well worth a shot. |

Winning for a fifth time on the Flat in a 1m2f good-ground Doncaster handicap only 18 days ago and that's useful form (RPR 96); since changed hands for 35,000gns and has to be of interest. |
