8st 6lb |
Won over 1m4f at Dundalk in February, 2m2f in the Chester Plate in May and 2m in the Northumberland Vase at Newcastle in June; another 6lb higher today; not so good on either start since that hat-trick but latterly he came from well off the pace when eighth of 30 in Irish Cesarewitch 13 days ago and was 66-1 in that; could be a lot more interesting this time. |

Progressive stayer; comfortably justified favouritism over 1m4f at Dundalk in February; readily followed up in the 2m2f Chester Plate on his first attempt beyond 1m4f (outside of hurdling); officially handed over to Cathy O'Leary who supervised his Northumberland Vase triumph; rider's sole winner gained over hurdles for Tony Martin. |

Reached new heights during a pretty busy AW campaign prior to his creditable and none-too-lucky sixth in the 2m2f Chester Cup in May when last seen (finished lame); that was on good to firm and easily his best turf form, but he won on soft in 2022; withdrawn twice last month; on the Chester Cup evidence he could still be capable of better. |

Usually claimer ridden but now has Harry Cobden; the last of her ten wins was in August 2022; still shows plenty on occasions, including when seventh in the Pertemps Final last March and a close second back at Cheltenham (2m4f, good) three starts back; pulled up with cheekpieces enlisted on latest start; that headgear is now discarded but she's not the percentage call. |

Second to star stayer Kyprios over 1m6f in Irish Listed race (made most) and Group 3 (always very prominent) this spring; just 9-1 for the Ebor at York on handicap debut but ended well beaten after racing prominently; that was his first race on firmer than good, which may provide an excuse, and he's a lightly raced 4yo who was a non-runner in the 2m5f Queen Alexandra at Royal Ascot, so connections presumably think stamina is his strength. |

Well on top at Nottingham (2m) and Pontefract (2m2f) on first two starts this season but paid the price for a rapid forward move (slowly away) when favourite in the Northumberland Plate only six days after Pontefract; creditable, front-running fourth in Cesarewitch Trial over C&D 12 weeks later but Premier Ligne was about 8l ahead in second, helping to show that improvement is needed; perhaps he will do better with that run under his belt. |

French win in 2022; this is his second season in Britain, with best of those efforts on last three starts when winning at Lingfield and going close at Goodwood and Salisbury; still looked a rising force last time but those three runs were all over about 1m4f and he's never raced beyond that, so today's 2m4f race involves a large dose of guesswork. |

12th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Won at Ffos Las (2m) in June and ran creditably next time; major backward steps since at Southwell (AW debut) and particularly in the Cesarewitch Trial over C&D three weeks ago, after which she's hard to support. |

29th Aug 2024 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Unexposed 4yo who scored at Ffos Las (2m, good to soft) in June and wasn't beaten far in a deeper race at Newbury (16.5f, good to firm) last month; unraced on AW, but his sire is 11-57 (19%) here in last five seasons so a good chance he will handle the track. |

18th May 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Dual Group 3 winner (2m/1m7f) for other yards in 2023; he didn't beat many last February-October and 1m4f for last month's reappearance (40-1) was too short; the latter was probably his most encouraging of five runs for current yard, however, and he's been dropped another 4lb since, which makes it 17lb below his peak mark; not ruled out. |

22nd Apr 2025 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Dual Group 3 winner (2m/1m7f) for other yards in 2023; he didn't beat many last February-October, including in four races for current yard, and although he's not been sent to the Middle East to start this campaign and is now 13lb below his peak mark, this short a trip asks a big question. |

14th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Creditable third to Lark In The Mornin in the Fred Winter 4yo Handicap here (2m, heavy) last March and 7l second of 19 in the Galway Hurdle (2m, good) in August; absent since heavy defeat on the Flat in the Cesarewitch in October but he's an each-way contender if back on song for this comeback. |

12th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Pretty useful hurdler, with big-race placings this year at Cheltenham Festival in March and in the Galway Hurdle in August when last seen; won twice on Flat as 2yo but no impact in his light Flat career since, most recently when seventh of 20 over 2m4f at Royal Ascot; others have more pressing claims. |

Placed in the Boodles at the Cheltenham Festival this March and ran okay in the Ascot Stakes; warmed up for this in a charity race at the Curragh; more needed. |
