Thirsk Racecourse Ideal Conference & Events Venue Handicap (Div 2)

Multiple all-weather winner who got back on track when finding only one too good in 10-runner handicap at Southwell (6f) in April. Changed hands for 13,000 gns the following month and probably needed the run back on turf at Chester a fortnight ago. Cheekpieces refitted and this will reveal more.

Back to winning ways at Wetherby in June and left behind a couple of lesser efforts when fourth of 10 at Beverley (7.3f) 24 days ago, despite suffering significant interference. Strong contender from what remains a workable mark.

Returned to winning ways down in grade over C&D in July. Below form from a 4 lb higher mark at Redcar next time and ran even worse at Ripon 3 weeks ago.

Useful at his peak in Ireland and made the most of a marked drop in grade fitted with headgear when landing 3-runner seller at Beverley in July. Did a bit too much in front on return to handicap company at Ripon prior to a respectable third back in plating company at Chester (7.6f).

Down in the weights and completed a quick-fire Ayr hat-trick (7.2f) in July. Found life tougher in a deeper race at Doncaster latest, however.

Return to 7f worked the oracle when winning a pair of Southwell handicaps in February. However, went off the boil in the spring and again finished well held returning from a 4-month break at Wolverhampton on most recent outing.

Suited by sound pace when ending a long losing run at Pontefract (6f) in June. Rather mixed bag since but shaped as if back in form when third at aforementioned track on latest start and should be at least as effective back at 7f.

Yet to score this term but is working his way back to form from an easing mark, doing best of those held up at Redcar (1m) on penultimate outing. Looked unlucky not to finish closer at Doncaster since and remains one to bear in mind.
