3rd Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won twice at Newcastle in March (1m and 7f); beaten favourite in all three handicap runs on turf but he has shown a useful level of ability in defeat; needs a bit more to defy this mark but getting back on AW may be beneficial. |

3rd Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Dual novice winner, at 1m then 7f; close up in two 1m handicaps, looking likely to win in the new cheekpieces at Ayr (good to firm) until collared late on; drops to 7f with blinkers now tried and hard to rule out. |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Both wins have come on the AW at Newcastle (1m/1m2f) and was far from disgraced on his return in the Easter Classic there (1m2f) five weeks ago; makes his turf debut in a competitive race, albeit stall 1 has taken three of the last eight runnings. |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Two-time course winner who went close on his stable debut over C&D in November; things didn't go his way when fourth of 13 at Chelmsford (1m2f) ten days later; this very lightly raced 5yo goes well fresh and remains open to further improvement; could be a contender following a break. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
No wins in nine but he's admirably consistent and again hit the frame over a bit further here a month ago; looks handicapped about right but has each-way claims once more. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 1 (1) |
27th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Eight-race maiden who has been beaten as favourite in four of his five handicaps but he found improvement when a close third over C&D last month; up 3lb but that latest run was a Racing League event and he pulled 4l clear of the fourth; key player. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 10 (6) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
4yo who is 0-7 and has been a beaten favourite in all four handicaps; however, he's still run good races and may take a step forward at some point. |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
4yo who's been confined to just three races; breaking out of the stalls didn't help once last October and neither did finishing lame this March, but his other two runs (on good ground last April and AW 12 days ago) showed stacks of ability; while not crying out for 1m2f on latest performance, he's bred to stay; very much the form pick. |
4/6 |
|
2nd 1 (9) |
6th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Close third on debut in the Wood Ditton at Newmarket (1m, good) last April then absent until fourth of five at Newcastle in March (1m, AW; favourite); this 4yo needs to leave last time behind but he's in top hands and will be a major player if tapping back into his debut promise. |

16th Jun 2025 Soft 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
C&D scorer comes here on the back of a solid third of six at Catterick (1m6f) 17 days ago; he ought to be in the shake-up. |
4/1 |

3rd 3 (4) |
30th May 2025 Good 1m 5f 192y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Cheekpieces have made the difference and he'll be 1lb higher from tomorrow following last Friday's Pontefract near-miss; return to this longer trip looks in his favour, with Kaiya Fraser taking 3lb off, and he remains low mileage. |
