13th Oct 2024 Heavy 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Won at Wolverhampton (1m4f, Tapeta) in April and Pontefract (2m1f, good to firm) in September; consistent in between (including one run on heavy) and he's an out-and-out stayer but his performance dipped on latest outing; cheekpieces last two; player if bouncing back. |

29th Sep 2024 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won handicap debut at Wolverhampton (1m4f, Tapeta) in April; creditable efforts afterwards (one here; behind Environment Amigo) before he resumed improvement to win at Pontefract (2m1f; cheekpieces added) ten days ago; 4lb higher but he has more to give as an out-and-out stayer. |

1st Oct 2024 Good 1m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Collected fairly good prize when opening account at Musselburgh (2m2f, good) in August and has been placed off his new mark since; drops in grade here and might still have more improvement to come; good chance. |
2/1 |
3rd 9 (10) |
13th Sep 2024 Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Not proven on softer than good; wore cheekpieces last two outings; big change in tactics when always prominent at Musselburgh (2m2f) 16 days ago and it resulted in him getting off the mark at the seventh attempt, by a head under 5lb claimer; up just 2lb and might have more to give now that more use is being made of his stamina. |

28th Aug 2024 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |
8st 4lb |
Six-race maiden; ran his best race when staying on into second of seven late in the day on handicap debut over C&D (ridden by Amie Waugh) in early July; flopped back here next time but 4l eighth at Carlisle in first-time cheekpieces gave a little renewed hope; 2lb out of the handicap. |

1m6f turf winner in September but he's generally struggled since then; showed signs of a revival when a keeping-on sixth here last time but that was over 2m and his tactical speed will be tested back at this trip; others preferred. |

Veteran who has won only once in the last four seasons but he does go well in deep ground and lack of stamina may have contributed to his heavy defeats over 1m6f and 2m on his last two outings; has three wins under Jimmy Quinn. |

4yo who has had eight races, best last time when close second of eight in handicap at Ffos Las (1m6f, good to soft) in second-time cheekpieces; makes his first attempt at 2m but that latest run gave plenty of encouragement; 3lb out of the handicap. |

Gelded after three quiet runs in 1m2f maidens and heavy ground was perhaps against him on handicap debut over 2m at Chester (11-1); couldn't rule out. |

13th Sep 2024 Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 5 |

Big odds, slowly away and always behind over about 1m2f on good ground at Newmarket, Chester and Newbury this spring; gelded in June; makes his handicap debut over 6f further, in first-time headgear and on different ground, so there would be explanations were he to improve. |

Handy sort who won three times on the AW last year, including when making all from 2lb higher over C&D in August; only beaten just over a length into third of nine at Kempton (2m, Polytrack) 13 days ago and as she has won when not leading; has to be high on the list. |

Twice fifth on the Kempton AW (2m) since returning from a 636-day absence, with the first of those efforts better than the second; best 2022 efforts (on good and good to soft) make him look well handicapped. |

This 4yo is on the up and he's won his last three completed starts; the horse he beat at Salisbury in October was bidding for a hat-trick and the rival he beat at Southwell last time had won five of his last six starts; looks the one to beat in receipt of 8lb plus. |
