19th Nov 2024 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Yet to be placed from six starts but suffered a wide trip on his handicap debut when seventh of 11 at Wolverhampton (1m) last month; first-time cheekpieces are now applied on this step up in trip and no surprise were he to show improvement. |

9st 4lb |
2023 novice winner; 0-10 since, pipped over C&D in November but beating only one home in 1m4f Southwell handicap 20 days ago; needs to bounce back and, having worn cheekpieces on those last two starts, he now sports a visor. |

Consistent sort who has been knocking on the door recently, latest when second of nine at Lingfield (1m2f; 9-2) last month when beaten a head in first-time cheekpieces (retained); steps back up in trip and holds claims. |

15th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won a maiden at Nottingham last summer (8.3f, good to firm) but 0-9 in handicaps since; low-key return from a 12-week break this month and cheekpieces are now given a go; others appeal more. |
14/1 |

2nd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
On a losing run but she wasn't discredited when sixth of ten in 1m2f handicap at Salisbury in June; much respected off a 2lb lower mark after a break. |
12/1 |

10th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Inclined to overdo it when going this far previously but the return to 1m didn't suit (minus tongue-tie, as today) last time; that was a step back in the right direction though and she's on a competitive mark if settling. |

1st Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Successful five times on AW in 2024; far less productive this year, latterly on turf, albeit wasn't disgraced last time; attractively treated back in this sphere, being 2lb below last winning mark. |
10/1 |

22nd May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Five-time AW scorer at up to 1m2f; seemingly a non-stayer over 1m4f/1m6f since switched to turf; this drop back in trip is a plus and he's competitively treated off 1lb below last winning mark. |

4th May 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
Well handicapped on last season's best forrm (AW) but he ended the year with a whimper and returns from a 135-day break with an inexperienced amateur booked. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Both wins on AW and none since August 2023; thrown in judged on his three turf runs last summer and on AW form up to March, but his more recent efforts are not convincing; not proven on softer than good. |
25/1 |

6th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Has only won twice and stuck on a losing run; if he's going to snap that sequence it will probably be on the AW. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Held off his revised mark since an AW win late last year; not a bad effort back from a break returned to turf at Chester (1m4f; good record first time out in his younger years) last time and this is less competitive. |
8/1 |
|
8th 15 (10) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Ended 2025 with emphatic AW win at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) and came second on both AW starts in January (1m2f/9.4f); absent since lesser effort in February and not ideally drawn today but has two course wins (including a division of this race in 2024) on his CV; could have a say. |

16th Feb 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Well suited by this C&D but seems to have lost her way since last summer's turf win and was particularly disappointing on her latest outing 16 days ago; needs a good boost from the first-time blinkers. |
16/1 |

10th 3 (7) |
31st Jan 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Has recorded all wins over 1m2f, the most recent last July; below form since and now drops back to 1m for first time since June 2023; not the percentage call. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
11st 1lb |
Won back-to-back races at Musselburgh (2m) and Les Landes (1m5f) in April but he's been generally disappointing since; on dangerous mark on this step back up in trip but needs to turn things around; tongue-tie added. |
9/2 |

6th 4 (6) |
9th Sep 2025 Good 1m 5f 192y Class 6 |
10st 7lb |
Won back-to-back at Musselburgh (2m) and Les Landes (1m5f) in April but has been below par of late; paid the price for doing too much too soon when a weakening fifth to Stellarmasterpiece (1m4f, here; beaten 2l) on penultimate start; easing mark helpful. |
11/2 |
|
6 (6) |
26th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Made all when winning in a small field at Musselburgh in April (2m, good) and he followed up in Jersey 19 days later; poor run at Doncaster last month but he bounced back with a solid effort at Catterick last week (1m4f, good to firm); shouldn't be far away. |
