Showed ability in maidens at Doncaster and Newmarket, and again when third in a soft-ground 6f novice at Yarmouth on latest start in October. Since undergone a wind op and will need to up his game in order to make a winning handicap debut.
|
Made the frame on each of his 5 starts in maiden/novice company as a 2-y-o. Gelded during the winter and below par both starts on the AW since returning to action in February, but perhaps he will get back on track now returned to turf for this handicap debut.
|
Appeared to take a step forward when third on his nursery debut off this mark at Thirsk last summer. However, failed to build on that in 3 subsequent starts, finishing weakly on each occasion, and needs to get back on track here following a 6-month break/wind op.
|
Did the job well when opening her account at Ffos Las last July and placed on a couple of occasions thereafter. Wasn't in the same form switched to tapeta at Newcastle during the autumn, though, and she's opposable on return/debut for new yard.
|
Improved with each of his first 3 starts in novice events at 2 yrs, finishing a close second to an odds-on shot at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) on third outing in July. However, failed to repeat that in a maiden on final start of 2023 and safely held on return/handicap debut at Newcastle.
|
Modest form in 3 starts last season, but gelded following that campaign and took a step forward when third of 8 on recent return/handicap debut at Catterick (5f, heavy). Claims if able to build on that back up in trip here.
|
Left 2-y-o debut effort behind when third in a 6-runner Hamilton maiden (6f, good to soft) in August, but hasn't made further progress in 3 subsequent starts. Still, she should come on for her recent reappearance on the AW and is not without hope in a race of this nature.

Forecasts
Fenlander (10/11), Vince L'Amour (6/1), Ingleby Archie (6/1), Mr Irrelevant (13/2), Emu War (11/1), Woodleigh (14/1), Without Flaw (33/1)
It's probably worth giving another chance to INGLEBY ARCHIE, who hasn't fired in a couple of runs on the all-weather this year but conditions won't be an issue back on turf and he's on a good mark for this handicap debut judged on his 2-y-o exploits. Vince L'Amour's handicap debut third at Catterick represented a step forward and he is feared most ahead of Emu War.
