9st 7lb |
Runner-up over hurdles at Ayr (2m, good) in March but he's lost his way in last three runs and was pulled up last time; his last Flat win was over C&D (August 2023) but he needs to turn things around back in the sphere; all wins have been on good or slower ground. |

9st 9lb |
3yo who won a Newcastle handicap (1m, AW) in June and he bounced back with a good second when upped to 1m2f at Ayr (1m2f, good to soft) two weeks ago; still has potential after only seven starts and he's respected off unchanged mark. |

0-11 but three seconds, the latest over 1m2f here in early July; ran creditably on last two outings, albeit finishing only sixth of seven when upped to 1m4f on latest; others are a bit more persuasive. |

Yet to register a success but he comes here in very good nick, cheekpieces on when a staying-on third of 11 in 1m2f Ayr handicap 15 days ago; big shout now stepping up in trip off an unchanged mark. |

Two wins over this trip on good/good to firm for David O'Meara last term; bought for 7,500gns last autumn and creditable runs for present yard, including when fourth at Ayr last week (1m2f, good to soft); each-way chance. |

9th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
A fair 1m5f Flat winner who posted a solid second of six in 2m1f Catterick novice hurdle 16 days ago; he may do better still now handicapping so needs considering. |
5/1 |

2nd 5 |
24th Aug 2024 Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |

Fairly useful on the Flat at his best and showed aptitude for hurdling on both attempts this spring, more notably when close second at Kelso (2m, good to soft) on second occasion; versatile regarding ground; holds each-way claims at least. |

Most of her turf wins have been on good or slower; won at Ayr (1m2f, good) and over C&D (soft) in May but has mixed record since and was never involved back at Ayr (sixth of 11) two weeks ago; still 4lb above her last winning mark and others are more persuasive. |

Won twice in May for previous stable (1m/8.5f, good to soft/soft); hasn't fared quite so well for present trainer, last week going down by about 13l when sixth of nine over 1m1f here (soft); bit to prove. |

22nd Jul 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Lightly raced and not at his best in the last two seasons, but he was a fair fifth of eight at Carlisle (1m, good) last time and slow ground could aid his cause today, with his last win coming on good to soft; continues to drop down the weights and he's an interesting contender. |

Has mostly struggled to get competitive since winning over hurdles in March 2023; last three runs have been at big odds on the Flat, fifth of six last time, and he is 9lb lower than on reappearance. |

0-11 but has run really well in second the last twice at Carlisle (1m, soft) and Hamilton (1m, good to soft); beaten just a nose last time when wearing a first-time visor; every chance he'll go one better today. |
15/8 |

Expensive to follow for this yard but he's well capable off this sort of mark and he was a good second at Carlisle 26 days ago (Arkenstaar third); new visor replaces cheekpieces this time. |
7/1 |
