Signed off 2-y-o campaign on a winning note at Newcastle (6f) and shaped well when fourth of 19 on return/handicap debut at York (7f, good), despite losing ground at the start. Wouldn't be without a chance if able to build on that but he continues to look less than straightforward.
|
Took a step in the right direction when, equipped with a first-time hood (retained here), finding just one too good in a minor event at Yarmouth (6f, soft) 3 weeks ago. That form looks decent and he could progress again now upped in trip for this handicap debut.
|
Confirmed debut promise when seeing off 11 rivals in a 7f Kempton novice in May. Still very much a work in progress and there's a good chance that she will have more to offer now switched to handicap company.
|
Positives to take from his effort in a Thirsk maiden on sole 2-y-o start but he hasn't much in a couple of runs at Doncaster since returning to action. Needs to get back on track now pitched into a handicap.
|
Has progressed since venturing down the handicap route, hitting the target over this trip at Carlisle (good to soft) and Redcar (good to firm) the last twice. Combined rise of 11 lb doesn't look excessive and he has to be respected as he bids to complete the hat-trick.
|
Showed much-improved form to make a winning nursery debut at Newcastle (5f) in November and progressed again after 6 months off when just failing back at that venue (6f) in May. Latest effort at Doncaster wasn't one of his better ones but he's probably worth another chance.
|
Winner of a Lingfield novice last August and made the frame on a few occasions on the AW during the winter. However, form has tailed off since, including back on turf the last twice, and others make more appeal.
|
No impact on debut/sole start for Donnacha O'Brien at Naas last summer and will need to step up on what she's shown for this yard in order to open her account here.

Forecasts
Smouldering (3/1), Project Geofin (3/1), Kode Secret (4/1), Arkhalia Flynn (5/1), Mostar Dreams (5/1), Mereside Madness (11/2), Mudhafar (7/1), Profit Street (14/1), Mayo County (14/1), Hot Front (20/1), Autumn Rose (25/1)
The progressive KODE SECRET is taken to record his third win on the bounce, perhaps at the chief expense of unexposed handicap debutante Smouldering, who still looked green when scoring at Kempton and should have more to offer. Arkhalia Flynn is another to consider.
