Comes here in good order, successful on AW debut at Newcastle (1m) in November and matched that form from 3 lb higher mark when third back at that venue last month, headed dying strides. Claims in present groove and good pace to aim at will help.
|
Latest win at Ayr in August. 8/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at York (10.2f, soft). Off 110 days. Back down in trip. First run for yard after leaving Iain Jardine and no forlorn hope.
|
French maiden winner (at 1m) who has quickly slipped in weights for present stable and he ran well under a change of tactics when second of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 4 days ago, headed last ½f, no extra late on. Remains low-mileage and one to consider.
|
Three wins from 14 runs last year. Latest win at Catterick (6f) in August. However, lost way subsequently, again failing to beat a rival when last of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 14 days ago.
|
Career best when winning 8-runner minor event (13/8) at this C&D 13 days ago, quickening 1f out and keeping on. Remains unexposed at this trip and likely to go well again back in handicaps from unchanged mark.
|
Well served by well-run race when ending frustrating spell with success at Wolverhampton (9.5f0 2 weeks ago, pulling clear with another interesting sort. Of interest again from 3 lb higher, particularly if granted good pace to aim at.
|
C&D winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in October. 13/2, seventh of 8 in handicap back at that venue (8.6f) 12 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time.
|
Latest win at Bath in September. 20/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 22 days ago, having hopeless task from position. Comes here operating from last winning mark and he's not one to write off.
|
Winner at Salisbury in July. Ninth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 33/1) 47 days ago, never landing a blow. Yard switch needs to have had positive effect ahead of this. Hood on 1st time.
|
C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Visored for 1st time, last of 7 in handicap at Newmarket (12f, good, 22/1) in June, eased under 4f out. Returns from 6 months off operating from career-low mark and market may prove a useful guide.

Forecasts
Leap Day (5/2), Goldsmith (11/4), Law Supreme (10/3), Ciotog (8/1), Hortzadar (10/1), Innse Gall (10/1), Light Up Our Stars (22/1), Conservative (22/1), One More Dream (80/1), Smalleytime (150/1)
GOLDSMITH crucially got the well-run race that suits when resuming winning ways at Wolverhampton 2 weeks ago, coming clear with one boasting some strong form lines in the process, and in the hope he gets a good gallop to aim at once more, all looks set fair for another big run from a 3 lb higher mark. Leap Day looked well suited by the step up to 1m when successful over C&D latest and he's feared. Law Supreme and Hortzadar complete the shortlist.
