Form & Verdict
Found his level now and the return of the visor, worn for his nursery near-miss last autumn off 7lb higher, had a positive effect over C&D last Friday; will be 4lb higher from tomorrow and his claims are obvious.

Come On Over

9st 5lb

J: David Nolan

T: David O’Meara

Beaten a neck over C&D in June; made amends the following week before his revised mark could kick into force, making all to fend off a pair of rivals who also raced far side early on in that contest; weakened quickly when last of four at Nottingham latest; needs to bounce back.

9st 4lb

J: Daniel Tudhope

T: David O’Meara

No problem with 7f last backend and he has been running over 6f this summer, latterly when making all at Doncaster early in the month; came away with a subsequent winner that day and finally getting off the mark should have helped confidence; a 4lb rise looks fair.

Form & Verdict
Progressive as a 3yo (C&D winner) but regressed last year and has continued to slide this season; hit a bit of traffic when not beaten far in first-time cheekpieces (retained) latest but others look to have stronger claims.

Gained all four wins over sprint trips, the latest in September 2024; ran quite well over 7f at Catterick (good) in May, though, and nearly exploited this career-low mark at Doncaster (6f, good to firm; second run in cheekpieces) a week ago; due to go back up 3lb; must be considered.

14-race maiden; forced to switch right - circumnavigated the field - when third of 11 at Ripon (6f, good; 11-4 favourite) a fortnight ago; worth another go over 7f (first since debut) as he seeks to make the breakthrough; likely player.
