Probe regained the winning thread in this class at Chester last week and is likely to have his supporters off just 3lb higher. However, DESERT FALCON signed off his 2024 campaign with a double after supplementing a C&D triumph at Ayr in September. If the five-year-old returns in similar form, he may prove tough to beat. Documenting is another to watch out for. |
IT JUST TAKES TIME looks primed to return to winning ways on his third start of the season. The step back up in trip looks ideal as the seven-year-old's last three wins have come around this 7f trip. Versatile going-wise, the gelding is a two-time winner on the track, including over this trip, and is 4lb below his highest winning mark. Probe did well to win after a wide trip at Chester over this trip last time out and should cope with the 3lb rise for that. While the seven-year-old has shown his best form with cut, there have been excuses for defeats on good to firm in Class 2 events at Epsom and Royal Ascot. Still below highest winning mark, he rates a contender if handling this quicker ground. Desert Falcon finished last season strongly with back-to-back wins, scoring off 79 at Ayr on his final start. The five-year-old is still open to improvement, acts on the ground, suits the trip and has run fresh previously, albeit in a lower grade. Valentine Catcher is still relatively unexposed after just seven starts. Although well below form last twice, the four-year-old acts on the ground, may yet suit 7f as his only attempt at the trip was on heavy, and has possibilities for his top course trainer on last season's form. |

The five-year-old is still open to improvement, acts on the ground, suits the trip and has run fresh previously, albeit in a lower grade. Valentine Catcher is still relatively unexposed after just seven starts. Although well below form last twice, the four-year-old acts on the ground, may yet suit 7f as his only attempt at the trip was on heavy, and has possibilities for his top course trainer on last season's form. |

Raced too freely beaten 4l off 74 over 8f at Redcar last time; step back in trip should suit as both Irish wins came over 7f, including on the ground; needs to recapture that form |
