10th Aug 2024 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
A rising force on Flat, including two wins; edged in front close home at Windsor (11.4f) in April and went close over C&D (again on good ground; unraced on firmer) 15 days ago when next seen; up another 3lb but in the mix. |

Underwhelming over hurdles but he's won two of his five races on the Flat, including when edging in front close home at Windsor (11.4f) in April last time; stays 1m4f well; up 4lb but could still have potential. |

13th Sep 2024 Good 1m 6f 115y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Losing run up to 13; beaten a head at the Shergar Cup meeting at Ascot last month and not disgraced when front-running on AW last time; upped in trip and the cheekpieces (of last five starts) are removed, but others are more persuasive. |

Losing run up to 12, but beaten only a head at the Shergar Cup meeting at Ascot (1m4f, good) last time; raised 3lb for that, but all four AW wins have come on Tapeta so he is respected back on this surface. |

3rd 11 (4) |
7th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 6f 1y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Won last April on his only start at this track; has had a very solid and successful campaign this season since upped to 1m4f/1m6f, including wins at York, Ascot and last week on AW at Southwell; 2lb higher than latest turf run but needs plenty of respect. |
9/1 |
|
1st 3 (6) |
29th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Two wins on turf (1m4f/1m6f) this year and again ran well when third of ten in a better race at the Ascot Shergar Cup meeting (1m4f, good) last time; 5lb lower on the AW having finished out of the frame in all four goes on artificial surfaces; may also prefer a bit further than this now. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 8 (6) |
10th Aug 2024 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
The move back up to 1m4f and then trying 1m6f both worked a treat this season, resulting in two wins and a second, all on good ground; latest win was at this track (1m6f) in July and he's run well at 2m (steadily run race) and 1m6f (bunched finish at Goodwood last week) in his two starts since, on good to firm; he's in the form of his life. |

5th Oct 2024 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Consistent 4yo who kept on well for third in quite valuable Racing League handicap here (1m3f) in August; nudged up 2lb to career-high mark since but useful 3lb claimer Kaiya Fraser is enlisted; probably won't be far away. |
4/1 |

3rd 2 (6) |
29th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Has proved consistent in his career especially on the AW (32113); still 4lb above his last winning mark but no surprise if he goes well again. |
9/2 |
|
4th 5 (3) |
10th Aug 2024 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Sole run on ground firmer than good was last June; off the mark at sixth attempt that season and solid efforts in handicaps this term, including a close call over 1m2f at Newbury (good) and clashes with The Goat over 1m4f on Kempton AW both starts since (won first of them); has to be considered. |

5th Oct 2024 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Clearcut winner at Kempton (1m4f, AW) in July and placed in valuable Lanark Silver Bell at Hamilton (1m4f, heavy) since but this season's record is very mixed and he was never dangerous in first-time cheekpieces (retained) last month; not an easy one to predict. |
8/1 |
|
9th 6 (15) |
7th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 6f 1y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Has an inconsistent profile but with easily his two best turf efforts having been delivered in the mud, including when third at Hamilton (1m4f) 15 days ago; stayed on late that day but underperformed in all four appearances at about 1m6f; connections reach for headgear. |
11/1 |

23rd Aug 2024 Soft 1m 4f 15y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
In-and-out profile and well beaten at Ascot last time, but the good ground may not have suited (sole turf win was on soft going); in good form on AW earlier this summer and he's not ruled out. |

17th Aug 2024 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Progressive during last season's first campaign and she'll be a player if tapping into that promise; in top hands and every chance she'll get back on track at some stage, but she hasn't really shone on either run this term. |
7/1 |

6th 2 (5) |
10th Aug 2024 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Useful sort at up to 1m6f in her first season last year; may have more to offer this term and came from a detached last when seventh of 13 at 16-1 in Listed race at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) on reappearance three weeks ago; that was encouraging. |

Useful sort at up to 1m6f in her first season last year; may have more to offer this term and won on her debut, so evidently capable when fresh. |

26th Sep 2024 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Won at Chester (extended 1m2f, soft) in June off 3lb higher than today; has failed to reach that level since but better signs lately, meeting trouble on a few occasions when beaten only just over 2l into sixth back at Chester 12 days ago; has won under Archie Young; might be worth chancing. |

C&D winner in 2021 and did very well for this yard over 1m4f-2m at Chester and York (touched off in the 1m6f Ebor) in summer 2022 before pulled up lame that September; dropped 5lb in his absence but has questions to answer on this reappearance. |

10th Aug 2024 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |

Debut was the only win for his first three trainers but Kempton (1m3f, AW) in June saw him score by a neck at the first attempt for Adam West; close for minor honours at Windsor and York (1m4f) on starts either side, so he has each-way claims again. |
