Eleven runs since last win in 2024. Eighth of 9 in handicap at Sandown (7f, heavy, 9/2) 16 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes tapeta debut. Recent efforts not obviously encouraging but this is a drop in grade.

All 3 career starts here, producing a useful effort when taking his record to 2-3 when edging out a next-time-out winner (pair 3 lengths clear) in a handicap over this trip last month. Likely more to come from this low-mileage 4-y-o.

Winning start for this yard at Nottingham in May but hasn't been able to kick on from that, albeit his latest Redcar fourth was respectable and he's dipped to 1 lb below the mark he defied at Nottingham.

Has shaped well on both start since joining this prolific yard and it's likely only a matter of time before he's winning again. Player.

Yet to win for this yard but there have been plenty of good efforts, including placing in the Racing League here (12.5f) and going close in a York Ebor meeting last month. Shaped as if still in form when seventh of 12 back at York last time.

Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Newbury (1m, good to firm) 31 days ago. Up in trip. Makes tapeta debut. Enters calculations.

Winner at Redcar in July. Creditable fifth both starts since but that underlines he needs a bit more from his current mark.

Three course wins between January and March. Also successful on turf at Haydock in July. Not disgraced in a Class 2 at the recent Doncaster St Leger meeting and can't rule out back here.

Forecasts

Bragbor (2/1), Per Contra (4/1), Crack Shot (7/1), Londoner (17/2), North View (17/2), Jujubella (9/1), Light Speed (14/1), Padishakh (14/1), Blue For You (18/1), Bamburgh (22/1), Glistening Nights (40/1)

Verdict

BRAGBOR has quickly established himself as a useful operator at this venue and a 6 lb rise for his defeat of a next-time-out winner in a Racing League event last month looks more than fair. Crack Shot has made a positive start for James Owen and is feared most ahead of North View.

  1. Bragbor2/1
