in touch with leaders against rail, pushed along to lead 2f out, ridden and edged right 1f out, kept on inside final furlong, much reduced lead final 110yds, just held on |

31st Jul 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Largely consistent in headgear this year and came good with clearcut success at Epsom (8.5f, good) a fortnight ago, his 12th start; probably needs another career best but is evidently in very good nick. |

0-11 but in the frame on last five starts (runner-up in three) on varying ground; first four of those races were at about 1m and the latest was here over 1m2f; should be on the premises again. |

7th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Progressive filly who gained the last two of this season's three wins over C&D (both on good to firm); returns here after good second at Epsom (8.5f, good) three weeks ago and might still be on the upgrade; respected. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 6 (3) |
18th Jul 2024 Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Led over 1f out to win over 1m at Ripon and Brighton (twice) in three of her four turf handicaps, on a range of ground; the exception came when never dangerous at Bath on penultimate outing; took a five-runner race in good style last time, which has been followed by a 7lb rise but she's on a roll and clearly one to take seriously. |

9st 5lb |
7f maiden winner at Epsom last August and placed over 8.5f there on two of her last three outings, coming wide and late when short-headed on latest; all those were on good ground and creditable fourth over C&D on penultimate start shows that she also acts on good to firm; respected. |

8th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Seven 1m wins at Brighton, the most recent when he came wide and late from last to first in the Class 4 Brighton Mile (28-1) on Wednesday, registering first win above Class 6; his short-head second here three starts back confirms that he stays 1m2f, but he has stamina to prove over this new trip. |
15/2 |

7th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Six-time winner over C&D, most recently on good to firm ground last month; posted career-best effort when close/clear second here (1m2f, soft) last month but moves up in grade today and seems likely to find some of his younger rivals better handicapped. |
12/1 |
|
4th 3 (6) |
18th Jul 2024 Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Brighton specialist (6-12 there) who has run just once here; pipped over 1m2f on soft ground in last week's attempt to complete a quick Brighton double, after a 1m win on good to firm; both were under Oliver Carmichael; due to be 5lb higher in future handicaps than he is today, so shortlisted. |

9th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Versatile ground-wise; holds weak claims on 2024 form, modest fifth at Epsom most recently; however, major chance granted a revival, having defied higher marks in 2022 (over C&D) and 2023. |
7/1 |

5th 9 (4) |
18th Jul 2024 Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
1m winner at Brighton (2022) and Bath (2023) who ran well in one of his three races at this track; out of form this year, with first-time cheekpieces (kept today) on latest start; 2lb out of the handicap today but thrown in were he to revert to 2023 form. |

18th Jul 2024 Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Fourth at Lingfield (1m, AW) in April was a promising debut but she's been beaten 14l on good to soft in her two runs since, racing freely; absent 69 days and makes handicap debut, so not entirely dismissed. |

3rd Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
AW winner at 6f last September; three good runs at this trip for new yard, far too good for rivals at Windsor (soft; acts on good to firm) in May and not doing at all badly in a competitive Haydock race after; appreciated the return to 6f when runner-up on Kempton AW recently (tongue-tie added); may yet pull out more; solid chance. |

Front-runner whose wins have come round easier courses off lower marks; has been running well this summer and a lot will depend on his things unfold early, but he's drawn to attack switched to a second-time visor. |

30th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 135y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
A bit in-and-out this year, but he only went down by a short head on the Polytrack here (1m; first-time cheekpieces) seven days ago; 3lb drop since then puts him back on his last winning mark and fast ground is very much in his favour; respected. |
