3 yo Gelding

OR: 55

Form & Verdict
Progressing in handicaps, finishing second over C&D and at Brighton on first two attempts before an easy front-running success at Chepstow last week; effectively 7lb higher under his penalty and he has a wide stall to contend with but this is a lower grade and he has to be high on the list.

8yo who is without a win since August 2024; however, he was beaten just a nose in a classified here (5.7f, firm) in July and 6f stretched him at Windsor last time; this seven-time course winner could play a leading role back here and back down in trip.

Pipped by Jackie Brown in a 5.7f classified at Bath last time, with Sisters In The Sky finishing strongly another nose back; that was so nearly his first win for two years (8-81 overall) but coming fourth in 2022 was easily his best result from five visits here.

He made a winning start for his new stable when readily seeing off ten rivals at Bath in May (5.7f, firm); ran okay over C&D next time and when disappointing at Newbury last month it was a Class 5; one to consider back at this level.

His five AW wins include one over this C&D; below his best at Bath (5.5f, good to soft) last time on his first start for 74 days but he was running well prior to that and returns to the AW off a handy mark; cheekpieces, worn last time, are discarded.

Authoritative win over C&D on first start for Chris Gordon last May and plenty went wrong when bidding to win that race again two starts ago (surely would have been heavily involved with a clear run); beaten into second at even-money on AW next time but the winner rather stole it; shortlisted.

Triple course winner who made all when scoring at Windsor (6f) and Brighton (5.3f) last month; well held in his hat-trick bid here last week but he couldn't dominate in that Class 5 event and remains well handicapped on old form; looks interesting on this drop back back in grade and he's versatile ground-wise.

Turf win (6f, good to firm) last summer; improved for the switch to AW this winter, winning at Chelmsford (6f) in November and adding two C&D handicaps since; 5lb rise for latest win against fillies asks a stiffer question of her but foolish to discount in her current form.
