9st 12lb |
Won two out of three AW handicaps in 2024, coming well clear at Southwell (about 2m) last September; raised 9lb and wasn't seen again until last month, when finishing well held over an inadequate 1m4f on Newcastle AW; likely to be seen to better advantage this time. |

Lightly raced 4yo who won twice on the Southwell Tapeta (1m6f/16.5f) last August/September; 9lb higher on this return from ten months off and not sure the drop in trip is in his favour. |

5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
3-34, with latest win last November on Lingfield Polytrack; shot back to some form when beaten a neck off career-low mark in six-runner race on turf at Leicester (1m4f) on latest outing and he's notched up a few placed efforts at this track, so he's one to consider back up 2lb. |

Just 1lb higher than when winning at Pontefract (2m1f, good to firm) last September when with Sir Mark Prescott; hasn't been with this yard for long, but he has looked better on Tapeta than on Polytrack thus far. |

11st 11lb |
Won a Southwell maiden hurdle (2m4f, good; first-time tongue-tie) and a Carlisle Flat handicap (2m1f, soft) last summer, but handicap hurdle debut in September was too bad to be true; however, he made a promising return here over 2m 17 days ago when shaping as though he'd improve for the outing; interesting back up in trip. |

Came good over hurdles at third attempt, with clearcut success at Southwell (2m4f, good; first-time tongue-tie) in June, and added a Flat win one month later; could still have untapped potential over jumps; one to consider. |

Seventh start when off the mark in handicap at Newcastle (upped to 2m, Tapeta) early this month but a heavy defeat at Kempton 13 days ago continued his inconsistent record in handicaps. |
6/1 |

16th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Good effort here (1m4f) on second start but he ran poorly on a subsequent course start; very mixed in turf handicaps since but the step up to 2m on Tapeta debut at Newcastle recently saw his staying qualities come to the fore; back up 3lb but a major player if holding his form. |

Fair form in his first two Irish maidens (well beaten next time) and when making his British/handicap debut at Haydock this month, albeit finishing only seventh of ten in the latter; tongue tied last two starts and had wind surgery before latest; dropped just 1lb, so improvement is needed on this big step up in trip. |

Made the most of a drop in class when regaining winning form at Southwell (16.5f, Tapeta) last month (third has won since); 4lb higher and back up in grade, but he still holds more compelling claims than a few. |

Three AW wins (1m2f-2m) in 2023; lightly raced since and he's been well held back from another break in his two runs this winter; mark continues to fall but he needs a major revival back at this trip. |

Fully effective on AW, recording her peak RPR on Tapeta, so surprising the return to turf was put forward as the reason for her easy win at Brighton in May (1m4f, good); mixed bag since, often slowly away, and there are risks involved. |

Six-time winner for Charlie Johnston and best form over this trip; poor on first two runs for this yard at big prices; better than bare result when beaten over 5l at Gowran last May; yard's first runner of the year won on Tuesday; no surprise were he to go well after a break with leading claimer aboard. |

All five wins have been over 2m on AW; couldn't pose a threat at Lingfield last month but the drop back to 1m5f looked against him and he went very close on his Wolverhampton reappearance in March; still looks feasibly treated on that form and has possibilities back at his optimum trip. |

107-rated hurdler won a maiden in that sphere last summer; ordinary enough Flat form and doubt dropping back from last two runs over 1m4f will be the answer. |
