16th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Not an immediate hit in handicaps but the step up to 2m saw him win twice on turf and once over C&D; foiled in the four-timer at Southwell but he lost nothing in a tenacious defeat to one who is now 3-3 at distances beyond 2m (first two well clear); up another 3lb but looks sure to go well. |

2nd 11 (11) |
29th Aug 2024 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 3 |
8st 8lb |
Typical improver from the yard who bids for a four-timer after two wins over 2m on turf and a particularly emphatic success at Kempton (2m, Polytrack); has been hit with another 10lb rise for that latest success, but folly to rule him out given the possibility of further progress. |

A few costly defeats in early summer but has got it together since tackling this trip and may well have more to offer upped another 5lb on his AW debut (is a half-brother to a Polytrack winner); is shortlisted for a stable in its usual high-summer form. |

9st 5lb |
Three AW wins in 2024; 0-3 on turf but his run behind a Prescott improver at Newbury (2m, good to firm; off this mark) last July shows he acts on grass; perhaps 2m would have suited better but still competitive. |

Course winner (1m2f) who hasn't had things go his way since returning on the AW in January, but is back off the same mark as when winning at Newcastle (2m Tapeta) last August; worth a second look. |

Didn't run badly on the Flat in July but has been disappointing over hurdles since winning a mares' novice at Sedgefield (2m4f, soft) in February and others have more pressing claims. |

Had somewhat mixed record during first season over hurdles but won a Sedgefield novice (2m4f, soft) in February and confirmed her wellbeing with a pretty good Flat run this month; could have a say. |

Progressive on the Flat last year and won twice over hurdles this February (2m/2m4f); reverted to the Flat with head second to Artisan Dancer at Ripon (2m, good) a fortnight ago and she's 3lb better off with the penalised winner; today's longer distance could be a plus and she's a leading player. |

Won four-runner maiden (2m, good) a year ago but yet to make an impact in handicaps as a hurdler; didn't run badly when fourth at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft; first run back from a second wind operation) last month but failed to build on that at Fakenham last time. |
