Yearly Archives: 2024

Hul Ah Bah Loo has not been at his best in recent months but the last start looked like a revival and he has tumbled down the handicap. He has conditions to suit again and all his best form is here so he cannot be left out of calculations. The faster they go the better…

Sensorium ran well last time but 6f might be stretching him a shade at this stage of his career. The stiff 5f here helped by a nice draw should be ideal. Hopeful.

The well-connected Climbing was placed over hurdles but he jumps fences well and looks the type to improve now sent chasing. He's had a wind operation and looks to be on a workable mark  Hopeful.

Sea The Clouds was progressive last season, winning over 2m, 2m4f, and then 3m1f. Still unexposed as a stayer he proved his well-being when 2nd under 10lb claimer Will on his comeback and was again 2nd last time. A reproduction of that run would see him go close.

Can't Beat History has won three of his last four, all going right-handed. The one blemish on that recent record was left-handed Bangor when he pulled up. He should be in his element here. Good each-way shout.

Cressida Wildes ran a cracker on debut when a poor draw didn't help her chances one bit. Annoyingly, she has been handed the outside draw again which will definitely make things tougher but she is very straightforward and should have learnt plenty for her debut. She will be thereabouts.

Givitawhirl is still maturing and progressing at home. From what we see from his work, he is in good form and hopefully, he will show more than was the case at Nottingham.

We've aimed Gordon Grey at this ever since his good win at Pontefract in May - he did run okay when 2nd from the front at Chester in between. He is in good form and has proved himself to go on most grounds. This track, trip and running style should suit. Hopefully, he goes well…

Churchill Rose is ultra-consistent but didn't seem to face the visor at Leicester the other day. She has run well at Kempton in the past and this looks a nice spot for her. She will be thereabouts.

Grand Duchess Olga came good again last time - her first sight of this track. She is up in grade here but seems in good form so we hope she can get in the money once more.

Gutsy Girl didn't handle Newmarket last time out and is much better than that running. The return to a flat track should suit her well and she has a good draw. She will go close tonight.

Notre Dame is now back on the AW after two wins on this surface during the winter. She is well at home so hopefully, she can get back to winning ways tonight.

A Newbury winner first time out this year, nothing went right for Teraabb at Chester last time. He will be happy on the ground and looks a value each-way candidate.

Glam Squad has been incredibly unlucky so far this year as nothing has gone right for him in any of his races. This race will suit him absolutely perfectly and he will love the soft ground. Time for a change of luck and he can run well today.

Mc Loven is having a fair summer and deserves to get his head in front again. The track suits though the ground may well be on the slow side by the time he runs which might not help. Obvious chance if things go well for him.

Zainabb ran two cracking races at Southwell before disappointing in a strange event at Kempton where she got too far back. The return to 7f is a plus and the ground should be lovely. She has a great draw which is important to her.

Clear Justice belied his status as the unconsidered 2nd string to Small Fry here two weeks ago. Only raised 2lb to 48 he should not be far away in this Classified stakes, especially if he repeats that effort.

Big Bard is not the most consistent, but his last run over 7f can probably be forgiven as he lost ground through going wide and is anyway best at shorter. Small each-way chance.

Pillar Of Steel had a spell in another yard and since returning hasn't really matched her earlier form. We're claiming 3lb today off a slightly reduced mark and hope that helps her put in a better performance.
