5 ybg Washington DC – Classy Anne ( Bob, Martin)

Bob has done well with Jim Goldie horses and this one did him well last season and looks progressive and could be a key player in the sprint handicaps this season. Unraced at 2, he made his debut at Doncaster in April 2023, finishing 6th beaten 7l by United Approach in a 6f novice stakes, then a Mussleburgh in May, finished 5th beaten 3 ¾ l by Whisky Mcgonagall in a 5f restricted maiden stakes. 

He got off the mark 2 weeks later at Wetherby, winning a 7f restricted novice stakes by 1l from Glory Sky (received 5lb), then at York at the end of May finished 6th beaten 5 ¾ l by Starnberg (gave 4lb) in a 7f handicap. In June at Hamilton, he finished 4th, beaten 7 ¾ l by Rock Of England (gave 2lb), in a 6f handicap. In July at Ayr in a 6f handicap he was 10th beaten 13 l by Ramiro (gave 10lb), then 2 weeks at Ayr in a 7f handicap, finished 2nd beaten 5l by Gainsborough (gave 16 lb. )Again a Ayr in August he was 2nd again in 7f handicap beaten ½ l by Wreck it Ryley (received 2 lb) then in September at Carlisle, won a 6F handicap by ¾ l from Mighty Power. 

3 weeks later at Ayr in a 5f handicap he was 3rd beaten 2 ¼ l by Aconcagua Mountain(received 13 lb), then after a break reappeared at Mussleburgh in April last year winning a 5f handicap by 2 ½ l from Paddy’s Day (received 5lb), then in June at Hamilton was 2nd in a 5f handicap beaten 4 ½ l by Desperate Hero (gave 11lb). In June at Thirsk he won a 5f handicap by 1l from Lethal Nymph ( gave 7lb), then was 2nd at Haydock in August in a 5f handicap beaten a neck by Jer Batt (received 1 lb).2 weeks later at Pontefract over 5f he was 2nd in a handicap beaten 1 1/2l by Dream Composer (received 3lb), then in September in another 5f handicap finished 3rd beaten 1 ½ by Shagraan (gave 10 lb). At Doncaster a week later he won a 5 ½ f handicap by a nose from Apollo One ( gave 11 lb), and finished the season a week later a Ayr finishing 16th beaten 6 ¾ l by Lethal Levi (gave 5lb). 

He reappeared at Mussleburgh in April, winning a 5f handicap by ¾ l from JM Jungle, gave 1lb, and still looks progressive

He should pay his way again in similar handicaps this season
