Close fifth (beaten just half a length) in a valuable York handicap in August. Not seen to best effect for the second consecutive run in the Ayr Gold Cup and can go well from tempting mark.
|
Belatedly added to 2-y-o debut success when seeing off 6 rivals in a 5f Goodwood handicap in May and third of 21 in the Portland at Doncaster (14/1) 21 days ago, breaking on terms for a change and staying on from the near side. One to note.
|
Back on track for new yard when second at Epsom (6f) in June but regressive since, 15th of 19 at Ascot (6f, 80/1) 28 days ago despite drop in grade.
|
Bounced back to win handicap at Haydock (14/1) 7 days ago with cheekpieces refitted. Has tended to struggle for consistency and had plenty go right there.
|
Won 5f handicaps at Hamilton and Southwell in June and August before finishing 12th of 14 in AW handicap at Southwell (9/2) 13 days ago after being hampered at start and racing too freely. Better than that.
|
Poorly placed in the Portland (28/1) 21 days ago and good shout on previous third in Shergar Cup Dash over C&D, that not his first decent performance here.
|
Winless in 32 starts since April 2023, finishing tenth of 25 in Silver Cup at Ayr (11/1) 14 days ago. Did show better form when third in York handicap returning from a break prior to that.
|
Struggling for form, finishing 12th of 16 in handicap over C&D (28/1) 28 days ago. Revival needed.
|
Pretty consistent on the whole and returned to form with back-to-back 6f handicaps wins during the summer. Finished fourth of 11 in a 6f handicap at Goodwood (11/2) 10 days ago but this is tougher back over 5f.
|
Won easily by 4¾ lengths in 6-runner handicap at Ffos Las (9/4) 6 days ago, travelling well and drawing clear when shaken up. This is way tougher under a penalty but he'd be dangerous to dismiss.
|
Seven-time winner who has struggled with stalls issues. Down the field at Nottingham on Thursday but has gone well here.

VENTURE CAPITAL has a good record at Ascot and can reward supporters having had excuses in the Portland. Jordan Electrics could have another big pot in him, while Glamorous Breeze and Portland third Rosario are a couple of others to note.
