19th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Denied clear run when third of 26 in the Buckingham Palace here (7f, good to firm) in June and came from well back for sixth of 18 in the Challenge Cup here (7f, soft) a fortnight ago, shaping as though he may benefit from today's return to 1m (over which he's run well here); could be thereabouts. |

5th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Suited by good or softer ground; may have done a bit too much early when fourth of 13 behind two of these at Chester (7.6f, good) five weeks ago; will need to settle better than he sometimes does, but has the right man on board if reverting to hold-up tactics. |

5th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Seems suited by Chester and again ran well when beaten less than a length by Two Tempting there (7.6f, good) five weeks ago; no problem if the ground remains testing, but another 2lb rise for that latest effort puts him 9lb above his last winning mark; others preferred. |

27th Jul 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Has some good 7f form this season, including close third to Carrytheone at Newmarket and respectable effort at Royal Ascot; however, only midfield in the Bunbury Cup most recently and needs to rebound. |

Arrives here fit and in form after a third of nine at Haydock (7f, soft; unraced on firmer than good) three weeks ago; C&D winner earlier in career; should be in the thick of things again. |

28th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

25th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
10yo who isn't the same force as last year and may not want soft ground, but he's performed respectably in hot handicaps on his last few starts and is on a dangerous mark now dropping back down in grade; possible player. |
11/2 |
|
7th 4 (12) |
21st Sep 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Top-of-the-trees in the best sprint handicaps down the years, winning the Stewards' Cup in 2020 and the Gold Cup in 2022; failed to beat a rival here 12 months ago but the weight has fallen off his back since and his run at the Curragh last week was encouraging; could well have a decent crack at this; refitted cheekpieces replace regular visor. |

mounted in chute, started quickly, made all, switched right soon after start, going best against near rail halfway, shaken up over 1f out, ridden and reduced lead inside final furlong, kept on final 110yds, always doing enough |

1st 1 (2) |
24th Aug 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Climbed through the ranks and won seven handicaps last season; took a while to find his form this term but surged back to best to win Listed race at Chester (6f, good to soft; made all) three weeks ago; tactically versatile, just as effective on quick ground and goes well at Newmarket; big player. |

27th Jul 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
Versatile ground-wise; has shown good form in cheekpieces the last twice, finishing eighth in the 7f handicap at Royal Ascot then scoring readily on Tapeta at Newcastle (career-best performance); 3lb penalty looks far from insurmountable; clear possibilities in the retained headgear. |
14/1 |

1st 2 (6) |
29th Jun 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
Ex-French 4yo who has bits of useful form for new yard, most recently eighth to the Wathnan first string in the 7f handicap at Royal Ascot; possibilities in this less taxing event; acts on AW. |
8/1 |

8th 1 (32) |
20th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Two wins in France were at 1m on turf (good to soft) and 7f AW; in good form in Dubai either side of Christmas for new yard but a mid-division finish on handicap debut behind Carrytheone at Newmarket (7f, good) in May shows he has work to do off current mark; first-time cheekpieces fitted. |

17th Jan 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

7th 2 (4) |
1st Jan 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Won the 2023 Wokingham (stable debut) off 1lb lower; Group 1 placed that summer too but his 2024 campaign was underwhelming; there were flickers of promise along the way and he appeals as the type to come good again this year; has to leave a lacklustre C&D run last month behind him though. |

8st 13lb |
Has dropped to a mark 2lb lower than when winning a 15-runner handicap at Newmarket (6f, good) in May; capable if at the top of his game but that hasn't been the case on his five starts since that latest victory. |
33/1 |

7th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
C&D winner; on the same mark as when beating 14 rivals in a valuable Newmarket handicap at the Guineas meeting; mixed bag since but he wasn't beaten far from a moderate draw at York last time and he has the ability to feature, for all there are risks involved. |
12/1 |

12th 6 (12) |
21st Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Consistency not his forte but there's a big engine there when the mood takes him, as when seeing off his 14 rivals in a 6f handicap at Newmarket's Guineas meeting; raced freely in a first-time visor at Ascot 11 days ago, left behind by Holkham Bay late on but having helped force a strong pace; not a solid option but a better effort wouldn't be a huge shock. |

Safely held in two valuable 7f handicaps on the Rowley Mile in May and needs to up his game today but it's worth noting he's now 3lb lower than when winning this race by a neck under Neil Callan a year ago (good to soft). |

Third in the Irish 2,000 Guineas in 2022; nothing like the force of old but made all off career-low mark at Wolverhampton in January; well held twice later in the month before sold out of Jamie Osborne's yard for 5,000gns; set a strong pace over 1m here last week and failed to sustain it; needs to settle better. |

Nothing like the force of old but hooded for his last two starts and the first of those was his first win since debut, narrowly making all off career-low mark over 8.6f at Wolverhampton; bid to do it again over that C&D one week later did not work out and this is his first run at Kempton; probably not the percentage call even though he still has a competitive mark. |

Never involved in the Coral Sprint Trophy over 6f at York a fortnight ago but 7f is more his trip and he's dipped to 2lb below the mark he won from on testing ground at Catterick last autumn; could bounce back with a bang for a yard which has hit a good vein of form. |
