8st 8lb |
Four wins last May-July, with no joy since; he finished close up four and five starts back, acts on soft and is edging down the weights, but he was never dangerous in Westgate Warrior's C&D race two weeks ago. |

Four wins last May-July, with no joy since but he finished close up three and four starts back (his last two runs at 5f) before two lesser shows over 6f; beaten a head off this mark over C&D (good) in August, so a case can be made. |

8th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Clear best among this season's efforts when second at Musselburgh in June and Thirsk in July; perhaps has a bit more to prove these days when on firmer than good, but she's one to take seriously. |
3/1 |

5th 3 (4) |
2nd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |

Similar type to Glory Fighter, being a dual C&D winner in higher grades; clear second, off just 2lb lower, at Thirsk (5f) most recently; major contender. |
5/2 |

2nd 4 (5) |
17th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Her form has gone the wrong way but she's dropped down the weights accordingly and ran well when second at Musselburgh (5f, good) two starts ago; a wide draw excuses her lesser latest effort at Pontefract; has won on soft/good to soft, and in these reapplied cheekpieces, and she's not ruled out. |

17th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
10yo who is without a win on turf since June 2021; it's possible he doesn't want soft/heavy ground nowadays; however, having dropped down the weights he's run well to make the frame on grass the last twice and might not be far away if handling conditions. |
6/1 |

4th 7 (1) |
7th Jul 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Veteran who is usually ridden by Mia Nicholls, whose brother Jack now takes over; ran encouragingly at Ripon (5f, good) most recently but it's three years since his last win on turf; others preferred. |
13/2 |

3rd 7 (9) |
5th Jun 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
10yo who has been beaten on his last 11 starts; however, he was in fair form on AW this spring prior to Chelmsford a fortnight ago, when suffering interference at the start, and he's an each-way possible off a reduced mark. |

Down the field last summer on final two runs for Paul Midgley and same story this spring on both outings for new yard; however, he's had wind surgery since last time and is 8lb lower than when runner-up at Catterick (5f, soft) last April, which came after his first wind op; tongue-tie goes on. |

Down the field at Pontefract last time but in pretty good form previously, finishing third at Catterick (5f, good to soft) two starts ago, and he could have a part to play in a first-time tongue-tie. |

1st Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |

Has tended to be kept to easier tracks but has plenty in his favour otherwise, with him well handicapped and back in form (race didn't pan out his way last time); should go well. |

Took record to 0-29 when chasing home Billy McGarry over C&D last month; enjoyed a relatively soft lead that day and is likely vulnerable for win purposes again. |

17th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Encouraging fifth of 13 over C&D (good to firm) last month on second start back from a long absence; this lightly raced 4yo may be able to build on that latest run provided conditions suit (unproven on slow ground). |

17th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Tailed off at Doncaster last time but he reared at the start so has an excuse; prior to that he was a good third at Nottingham (5f, good) and can be in the mix if reproducing that form; ran well on soft last year. |
13/2 |

28th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |

5.6f course winner; returned to form when third at Nottingham (5f) last time; however, he could be vulnerable to stronger stayers back up to 6f. |
6/1 |

3rd 2 (8) |
2nd Jun 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Usually takes a while to come to hand and two runs in Class 5 handicaps this year have seen him finish a modest seventh; conditions won't faze him and he's one to consider for a yard in form. |
