24th Mar 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Four course wins, latest two over C&D and 1m5f early in 2024 (both with no headgear; cheekpieces refitted today); creditable return from break at Kempton and no blame attached to his third over C&D since; not far away. |

Won this race three years ago and added another classified race last July, his last success; essentially disappointing this year. |

16th Jul 2025 Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
10yo whose last win came in a classified at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) over a year ago; has struggled since and, while he wasn't beaten far when sixth of seven at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) 20 days ago, others are preferred. |

9st 3lb |
Last won in February 2022 and has been absent for 387 days; well treated on form early that year but there is more for him to prove these days on turf, including as sole run on softer than good was a heavy defeat. |

Winning for a fifth time (all on turf) when doing it comfortably at Yarmouth (1m6f, good to firm) but well beaten since then; wouldn't be the percentage play. |

5th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Winning for a fifth time (all on turf) when doing it comfortably at Yarmouth (1m6f, good to firm) but then trailed home last at Bath; Taryn Langley returns with a 7lb claim and if back on her game she'd have every chance. |

21st Aug 2023 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
9yo who was disappointing here (1m4f) last time but she is an eight-time course winner and was runner-up over C&D (good) on her penultimate run; that was a bold bid from the front and she has possibilities if she can recapture that form. |
13/2 |

always towards rear (trainer said, regards the poor form shown, mare was unsuited by the Good to Firm (Firm in places) going and would prefer an easier surface) |

18th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Proven winner who can pull hard and did so the last time he went this far (over C&D two summers ago); things didn't pan out his way latest but there's little wiggle room off this mark back on turf after a short break. |
7/1 |
|
5th 3 (4) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 5f 66y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Prevailed narrowly at Chelmsford (1m6f) last time to complete a hat-trick; climbing back up the weights but warrants respect in current form. |
4/1 |

1st 4 (8) |
26th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Likeable sort who is back in fine form of late and arrives on a hat-trick after bagging a pair of 1m6f/1m4f handicaps at Southwell; up another 3lb but he rates a big player once more. |

31st Aug 2023 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Went close to getting off the mark over 1m5f here (good; acts on good to soft) in July; lesser effort upped to 1m6f over C&D next time but wasn't beaten far at Brighton since and worth another go at a staying trip. |
5/1 |

26th Jul 2023 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |

A maiden after 24 runs but went down fighting when close second to Dirham Emirati here (1m5f, good) a fortnight ago and remains unexposed over this sort of trip; ought to be on the premises again. |
