Topsy Memorial Handicap

Career-best effort when runner-up on reappearance at Chelmsford in April. Little to shout about since but this does represent a pretty big drop in class. Of interest fitted with a tongue tie for the first time.

Deservedly off the mark in an Ayr maiden (6f) in May and progressed further in handicaps, runner-up at York prior to going one better over C&D, quickly putting the race to bed when gap appeared. Unable to land a blow at Goodwood 17 days ago but this is easier and he's landed stall 1.

Four-time C&D winner remains 2 lb below her last winning mark. Looked unlucky not to finish even closer when second of 8 in handicap at Beverley and eased in class he also came up a nose shy in a C&D handicap 3 weeks ago.

Bagged 5f handicaps here and at Ripon in the spring and ran a stormer when runner-up in big-field Ascot handicap last month. Missed break and never figured at Glorious Goodwood but harder to find an excuse for last week's Haydock run.

Finally doubled tally in handicaps in 10-runner contest at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) 9 days ago, cashing in on what was a career-low mark. 3 lb rise shouldn't prevent a bold follow-up bid.

Plenty of solid efforts here and at York but yet to get going in 2025, albeit he was drawn out of it at latter track 3 weeks ago.
