29th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Beaten favourite in a stronger race at Newcastle last week but that is easy enough to strike a line through as the field crawled for the first half of that race and he refused to settle; earlier Ascot win, where overcoming adversity, suggests there's more to come; good chance. |
9/2 |

3rd 12 (10) |
22nd Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Unexposed 3yo who was having just his second run in a handicap when overcoming significant trouble in running to win a 7f handicap at Ascot last month; that form has been well advertised by the placed horses and although he's effectively 10lb higher, it's unlikely he's reached his ceiling; shaped well over C&D on debut. |

Made it third-time lucky in a good-ground maiden at Catterick and did well to finish second from an unfavourable draw after making up ground from off the pace on handicap debut at Haydock (soft); this longer trip should be within range; interesting. |

Consistent profile in his five runs; cheekpieces on for the first time when winning a 7f good-ground handicap at Haydock last month, beating ten rivals; did have the run of things up front and the form has taken some knocks, while neither will it be easy to repeat those tactics here. |

Making good progress in 7f handicaps this year, beating 18 rivals at York in May and then picking up best to win at Haydock 12 days ago (Boardman second); this is tougher but on the up; well held in one AW run but it was after six months off. |

Took form to new level when clearcut winner of 19-runner York handicap (7f, good to soft) in May and put a lesser run behind him when third of 16 at Ascot (7f, good) four weeks ago, having repeatedly been denied a clear run; remains of strong interest. |

Productive sort who won at Ascot (7f, good) most recently, taking strike-rate to 8-43; however, he's back on a career-high mark and back up two grades (unconvincing record in Class 2); may struggle to follow up. |

Most wins and best form has come on the AW, including two wins earlier this year at 7f; likeably consistent on those surfaces and, although 1-9 on grass and unraced on this surface in nearly a year, AW form can transfer well to Ascot. |

7f maiden winner at Epsom last August; has not run quite as well in two quite valuable 7f handicaps since, the first at Southwell (5l eighth when 2-1 favourite) and then on seasonal debut at Ascot when 9l seventh of 16 after being gelded; should come on from that latest run and looks a player. |

Back from three months off to run a good race at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) where he did well to finish so close after plenty went wrong; that extended his losing sequence to 22 on turf (7-33 AW) but he has each-way claims with Marquand booked. |
