Productive mare on AW and turf; however, she has paid for her spell of success and may be in the assessor's grip off current mark; latest effort (failed to beat a rival) cements doubt at this level.

All wins on AW but it's unwise to pigeonhole him as an AW specialist given earlier turf promise (peak RPR at Goodwood last May); heavy ground was too much for him at Goodwood 16 days ago but better can be expected this time.

Harry Brown

J: Shane Kelly

T: Peter Crate

Beaten just one rival in three runs for his new stable but he hasn't had much luck with the draw and being held up in a slowly run race last time was no good to him; he's copped the widest stall here too but Shane Kelly (regular rider for part-owner Gallagher Bloodstock) takes over for the first time and it was as recently as June that he was placed off a 14lb higher mark on Polytrack (RPR 89); type to win soon and a market check is essential.

Hard to weigh up on lesser turf efforts for new yard of late and he has an awkward draw but temptingly weighted both on C&D wins in 2022 and his Tapeta form early in 2024; one to consider.

Enhanced his good Thirsk record when landing a 5f handicap last month (blinkered first time); wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Catterick fourth where he did best of the pair to come near side in a messy race; other pace on show here though and he looks vulnerable.
