I Am Me
I AM ME has made a bright start for the Ed Bethell stable, off the mark on return/handicap debut at Musselburgh in April and far from disgraced in defeat either outing since. Taking on his elders for the first time with blinkers now reached for, he looks one of the likelier types dropping back to 1m. Mount King had a luckless run here 8 days ago and he's feared for the in-form Tim Easterby yard, as is top weight Cosmos Raj who is holding his form well.

Well prepared to make a winning reappearance on stable debut at Musselburgh (9f) in April. Similar form in finishing midfield both starts since from revised mark and he ought to go well again with blinkers now the headgear of choice.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosMusselburgh1m 208yGoodFlat4/8Ascot1mGood to FirmFlat5/10Musselburgh1m 208yGoodFlat1/8Dundalk7fStandardFlat9/13Curragh1mYielding to SoftFlat3/14- 5(4)Mount KingJ: David AllanT: Tim Easterby-220155Age 5+400+333+350

Gained a second C&D success in May and was certainly unlucky not to finish much closer when fifth of 6 in handicap back here 8 days ago, denied a run from home turn and finishing with running left. Certainly worth considering for yard firmly amongst the winners.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosPontefract1m 6yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat5/6Doncaster7f 213yGood to FirmFlat5/6Pontefract1m 6yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat1/7Thirsk7f 218yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat10/12Thirsk7f 218yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat2/15- 1(6)Cosmos RajJ: Daniel TudhopeT: David O'Meara2212125Age 7+400+400+450

Gained both career wins at Ayr and hit the ground running in 2024 but low-key efforts in 2 starts since returning this spring.

Landed a 7f Catterick maiden (7f) last summer and showed up well on first 2 starts in handicaps at Beverley this spring. Ran no sort of race making all-weather debut when last of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (1m) 25 days ago but he appeals as the type to bounce back returned to turf.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLingfield Park1m 1yStandardFlat7/7Beverley7f 96yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat5/7Beverley7f 96yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat4/5York7fGood to FirmFlat12/17Catterick Bridge7f 6yGood to FirmFlat1/8- 4(5)Pebble IslandJ: Alistair RawlinsonT: Simon & Ed Crisford9-26Age 3+1200+1200+1100

Cracksman gelding who has ran to a fair level on 2 of his 3 starts to date, left with lot to do when sixth of 10 in novice at Windsor (8.1f, good, 12/1) 21 days ago.
