26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Not much has gone right this season, including when well backed on his return to the AW last time (always trapped deep at Lingfield); currently 3-7 on Tapeta and is well handicapped now, so needs considering for a yard that also saddles Michaela's Boy. |

12th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Currently 4-8 on the AW and 1-1 on Polytrack (C&D); not a lot has gone right this season and he switches from turf on an attractive mark; will need some luck from a wide stall but is one to consider for a trainer who also runs Michaela's Boy. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Rarely seen on a downhill track but ran a corking race in Group 3 over C&D as 2yo; often well below best in 2026 but intermittent flashes of form have lightened the gloom, including when a close fourth at Pontefract (5f, good to firm; first-time visor, retained) latest; on the risky side overall. |

Still to add to his debut success as a 2yo but he has taken well to AW this winter, in the frame in three Class 2 handicaps at Newcastle; looks the clear pick of the Richard Fahey contingent. |

Reliable as clockwork since returning from a seven-month break but the handicapper cuts him no slack as a consequence; fine on Tapeta and can give his running again. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |

Losing turf run goes back to summer 2024 but he was unlucky not to put that right at Redcar (6f, good) in August and he's finished in the frame more often than not on this course; on the premises. |

On a losing run but only just failed over C&D in August (having suffered a poor run) and posted another solid effort when fourth of ten at Ripon (6f) two weeks ago; should remain competitive. |

C&D winner in June and shaped well here last weekend, from an advantageous high draw, when fourth of 20 in valuable 5f contest; we're on a different track this time and, using last year as a guide, high draw might count against him this time. |

Had a fine year in 2023, his first with this stable, when an Ayr Gold Cup win was the highlight; has only run well in one of his four starts this year and hopes rest on a wind operation having a positive effect; second and first in two runs at Newcastle. |

Not as good or consistent as he was and is always capable of fluffing the start; has been running over 6f on turf in recent times and will need things to fall just so back to 5f. |

Dropped to a dangerous mark and his last two efforts have been more encouraging; 7lb better off with Brazilian Rose on last month's C&D run but wouldn't be open to the same progress as that rival. |

Wins both came first time out but he ran poorly for his new yard on comeback five weeks ago, having struggled during a limited campaign last year; often pulls hard and has plenty to prove now. |

31st May 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Capable of smart handicap form in 2022 and 2023 (RPR 102); ended 2023 tamely though and no sign of a revival in three runs last year; not a solid option but it's possible a change of stable could have freshened him up and he's thrown in if that's the case. |
