Back to winning ways at Kempton in April but well below that level more recently and makes limited appeal.
|
Juvenile winner for Jessica Harrington (sold 82,000 gns) who improved away from top-end handicaps for the first time since joining current yard when scoring at Goodwood (6f, good to soft) 9 days ago, seeing it out in good style. Still relatively unexposed, so makes appeal under a penalty.
|
Capitalised on the drop in grade to notch his second win of the year when scoring at Windsor (6f, good, 5/1) 12 days ago, helped by the way things developed (suited by strong pace). 4 lb higher and no surprise to see him in the shake-up once again.
|
33/1, below form eleventh of 21 in handicap at York (6f, good to firm) 54 days ago, uncomfortable with pace throughout. Has had a break and will need to bounce back.
|
After 6 months off, showed much improved form when making all in 10-runner handicap at Leicester (6f, good to firm) 33 days ago, travelling powerfully. Can score again with tongue strap on 1st time.
|
2 wins from 6 runs this year, latest at Newbury in July. Eighth of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good to firm, 7/2) 6 days ago, doing too much too soon. Sprinting for the first time this year and would be folly to discount.
|
Underperformed returned to sprinting when fourteenth of 16 in handicap (10/1) at York (6f, good) 26 days ago, dropping away over 1f out. Cheekpieces back on.
|
Latest win at Ayr in July. 10/3, shaped as if still in good form when third of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft) 2 weeks ago, running on after slowly away. Back down in trip and is one to consider.
|
Winner at Pontefract in April. Shaped better than the distance beaten suggested when seventh of 16 in handicap (14/1) at York (7f, good) 12 days ago, unable to sustain effort having made a big effort from the rear to get into contention. More needed.
|
Confirmed more positive signs from Beverley when successful at Pontefract (6f) last month, a well-run race/drop in trip serving him well. Again ran well when third under a penalty just under a fortnight ago and can figure again from the same mark.
|
Twenty four runs since last win in 2020. Creditable fourth of 15 in handicap at Navan (5f, good to soft, 13/2) 26 days ago, nearest finish. Back up in trip and he lurks on a very dangerous mark.

Forecasts
Executive Decision (5/2), Hot Chesnut (11/2), Ramiro (6/1), Momaer (15/2), Society Lion (9/1), Nordic Passage (10/1), Sir Maxi (10/1), Snash (14/1), Buccabay (16/1), Indian Falcon (16/1), Dora Penny (22/1)
On her first attempt at sprinting, MOMAER doubled her tally in remarkably easy fashion at Leicester last month, and with further improvement on the cards, Mark Loughnane's 4-y-o gets the verdict to go in again with a first-time tongue tie added to her usual hood. Nordic Passage lurks on a very dangerous mark so he may emerge as the main threat, ahead of the penalised Executive Decision and Ramiro.

- Nordic Passage10/1
