8th Sep 2024 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Won three of his five races; flopped on fourth start but scored pretty smoothly in 1m handicap at Haydock (last two wins have been there) four weeks ago and remains of major interest despite 8lb rise. |

8st 12lb |
Won Ayr maiden (1m, good) in April on second run and followed up in handicap here (1m2f, good to firm) in June; he flopped at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) on July 1 but retains potential for his in-form yard; not ruled out. |

1st Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |

Promising debut (Tapeta) and, after winning a weak Ayr maiden, took another good step forward on his handicap debut early last month (1m2f); today's return to 1m is perhaps not optimal but he remains open to further improvement upped 6lb. |

Won at Newmarket (1m, good) in May on second start and sixth of 14 in hot novice on the other course there in June (1m, good to firm); gelded since and this well-bred 3yo has potential off his opening mark; top yard in flying form. |

8st 13lb |
Multiple winner at a lower level, most recently at Newmarket in July; creditable fourth, again in Class 3, the last twice; has nothing in hand off current mark and looks well exposed in this stiffer grade, being 0-11 in Class 2; opposed. |

10st 1lb |
Won at Newbury (7f, good to firm) in June and also at Newmarket (good to soft) last month on his first crack at 1m; unsuited by steady pace when mid-division at Ascot a fortnight ago and remains unexposed at today's trip; three visits here have yielded two wins and he's one to consider. |

It all clicked at York in July (1m, good to firm) when getting up late in the day; not in the same form since but he's capable of bouncing back. |

29th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 3 |

Yet to find his best form for his new stable this year; more encouragement at Haydock last time though and he continues to edge down the weights; interesting to see how he goes in the betting. |
25/1 |

6th 4 (2) |
10th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 37y Class 3 |

Not at the top of his game on either run for this yard but York last time was a step back in the right direction and he may be able to take another today; on a dangerous mark but others have more to recommend them. |

Dead-heated in a 7f handicap at Thirsk in May and went close back at that track in August; not at his best the last twice, however, and more to prove back at 6f; cheekpieces return. |

21st Sep 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Dead-heated for first at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) in May; some good efforts since (including third over C&D) but never involved back at Thirsk last time. |

Dead-heated for first here in May (7f, good to firm) and good run two outings ago when second to Cerulean Bay (2lb worse off for a neck) over C&D (good); bit disappointing last time but didn't get the best of runs. |

7th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Won this race off 8lb higher 12 months ago; better than some of his recent form figures suggest but no obvious excuses with cheekpieces added to his usual tongue-tie (combination retained) at Southwell last week; this draw isn't ideal. |
11/1 |

7th 4 (5) |
29th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 3 |

In good form 12 months ago, winning 1m handicaps at Newcastle and Kempton, and he's now 6lb lower than for the latter success; likely he's in better form than his form figures would suggest and cheekpieces are now given a go; shortlisted with Oisin Murphy in the saddle. |

23rd Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 4f 15y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Made belated reappearance last month and hasn't threatened on either run this season (1m/1m2f), but he won a C&D novice (good) last September and this lightly raced 4yo could relish today's step back up in trip; top Newmarket trainer has an excellent 39% strike-rate here. |
5/1 |

4th 1 (2) |
30th Aug 2024 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Odds of 1-7 over 1m4f when he registered his one win from fives races last season; gelded and absent 317 days before his last of nine at Haydock (1m) three weeks ago, when hooded for the first time; bred far more for 1m2f+ and a revival is not ruled out. |
7/1 |
|
9th 6 (1) |
10th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 37y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Runner-up on first three starts (1m2f) before easily getting off the mark in Hamilton novice (1m4f, good) last September; fair fourth on handicap debut at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) later that month; absent since and gelded; the first-time hood and drop back in trip are interesting for this headstrong Frankel 4yo, and he's not discounted on his return to action. |
