29th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
C&D winner in 2022; an underwhelming 2024 campaign for new yard was swept aside when he came from last to first in a nine-runner race at Epsom (1m2f, heavy) last September, scoring in tidy fashion with first-time cheekpieces (kept since); however, pulled up lame in the November Handicap next time and tailed off at Epsom sole run this year. |

6th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
An underwhelming campaign for new yard was swept aside when he came from last to first in a nine-runner race over C&D (heavy; his only visit here) last September, scoring in tidy fashion with first-time cheekpieces and never better; pulled up lame off this 5lb higher mark in the November Handicap on sole run since; good soft-ground record before that and won sole run on good to soft; considered if he gets that ground. |

9th Nov 2024 Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
His underwhelming campaign for new yard was swept aside when he came from last to first in a nine-runner race at Epsom (1m2f, heavy) six weeks ago, scoring in tidy fashion with first-time cheekpieces and never better; 5lb higher today and not proven over this far, but that win built on a good soft-ground record and he has won at 1m3f, so he enters calculations. |

pressed leader, switched right and towards near side over 3f out, going okay when led narrowly 3f out, pushed along from over 2f out, headed over 1f out, soon ridden and no extra, weakened gradually inside final furlong, no match for winner |

10st 0lb |
All wins on good/good to soft, the most recent off 2lb lower at Wetherby in May; form dipped at Ayr last time and he is now conceding weight to several 3yos who are much less exposed; opposed. |

26th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
The standout in-form candidate after front-running efforts on last three starts brought two 1m2f Beverley wins and a short-head defeat off this mark in blanket finish over Musselburgh's 1m4f; should go very well again. |
3/1 |

2nd 3 (3) |
11th Aug 2023 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Prominent racer; feasibly weighted seeking a hat-trick after back-to-back Beverley wins (1m2f; has risen a combined total of 5lb); the stable is going really well, he's versatile ground wise, and this sharp track should suit; enthusiasm is tempered by inconclusive stamina over 1m4f. |

23rd Aug 2024 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Had been off for almost a year when making a successful stable debut in an amateur riders' handicap at Pontefract (1m2f, good to firm) 16 days ago; 4lb rise still leaves him well treated on old form and he looks the best alternative to Typical Woman. |
5/1 |

7th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
Two-time winner who is one to watch in the betting off a reduced mark on stable debut; however, he struggled on his last few starts last season and was sold for 1,000gns last September; plenty to prove on return. |

28th Aug 2023 Good 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
All wins on good/softer; on a two-year losing spell but arrives in form, having been placed in both runs this term, and remains on a workable mark; has won over C&D and is fresher than most, given the light campaign; warrants respect back here. |

18th Aug 2023 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |

Found only a real course specialist too good when 2l second on June's seasonal return at Haydock (1m, good); remains 7lb below his last winning mark, and makes major appeal dropped to his first class 5 handicap. |

11lb lower than when second of 11 over C&D a year ago, but losing run is now up to 16 so doubts remain. |

Last win was at Doncaster (1m2f) in June 2023 but that was off 4lb higher; mixed record in just four runs this season but he ran respectably at Doncaster last time and could be in the mix if he can build on that. |
