Off since March when he beat none other than last week's St Leger runner-up Rahiebb.

Off since July 2024 when 8th in a strong maiden; connections have stuck by him

AW winner; the potential is there to raise his game but likely that he'll need to
1 (1)	Golden Horse Chestnut J:Stevie Donohoe T:William Haggas	J:Stevie Donohoe T:William Haggas	137	—	31	-	79	40	39d	—	—	+4	15.2	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Found a weak race to get off the mark at Hamilton; has a penalty and others preferred
7 (2)	Native Spirit Bay J:Dougie Costello T:Charlie Appleby	J:Dougie Costello T:Charlie Appleby	130	—	43	-	86	76	92d	—	—	-1	4.6	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Beaten 5l and about 10l in two 1m2f novices; Mothecombe could be the yard's main hope
9 (7)	Wood Whisperer Chestnut J:Jason Watson T:Paul Attwater	J:Jason Watson T:Paul Attwater	130	h	86	-	76	24	61d	—	0W/0P 1 run	-3	1	8.25/1	33/1 3%
Showed more second time out when sixth of 14 at Windsor but remains opposable
4 (3)	I Am Simba Bay J:Harry Burns(3) T:Rebecca Menzies	J:Harry Burns(3) T:Rebecca Menzies	135	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-1	0.4	62.50/1	250/1 0%
Comfortably held in three bumpers on good and soft ground; outclassed
5 (9)	Danseuse Du Sud Chestnut J:Alexandra Egan(7) T:J Moon	J:Alexandra Egan(7) T:J Moon	130	—	—	-	-	-	—	—	—	-1	0.3	75.00/1	300/1 0%
A belated debut for this 5yo mare who cost 17,000euros as a yearling; no real appeal
8 (5)	Nige Bay J:Liam Wright(5) T:George Scott	J:Liam Wright(5) T:George Scott	130	—	00	-	47	15	24d	—	—	-1	0.4	50.00/1	200/1 0%
Pretty much tailed off in his first two races and looks a worthy outsider here
