13th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Can lead; creditable effort on second start for yard when runner-up at Pontefract (1m2f, good) in June but he's had problems at the stalls otherwise this year and refused to enter them in July; capable but risky. |

Excuses for two below-par efforts for current connections either side of his Pontefract second off a 2lb higher mark; holds each-way claims. |

24th May 2023 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won from the front over C&D (good) a fortnight ago on his second start since leaving Sir Michael Stoute; this lightly raced 4yo did it with something to spare and could take a 6lb rise in his stride; strong claims. |

8th May 2023 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Fair 1m maiden for Sir Michael Stoute in 2022 who subsequently changed hands for 50,000gns; gelded and off eight months before posting an encouraging third of 13 for his new yard in 1m2f Redcar handicap three weeks ago; still has few miles on the clock so he is very much in the mix. |

8st 11lb |
Has made the frame in four of his last six starts but now on a two-year losing sequence; beaten around 8l in fourth at Roscommon; allowance should be made for interference suffered under two furlongs down. |

11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 111y |

Last win was over C&D two years ago; lot lower in the ratings now, with good reason, albeit made the frame in winter AW handicaps won by subsequent improvers. |

Three-time AW winner and last of two turf wins came in Roscommon handicap nearly two years ago (off 61); AW form over the winter wasn't bad so can't be ruled out. |

6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Five-time C&D winner who's not well drawn for one happiest on the sharp end; resumed in good form, with two solid efforts over 1m, but has never won off a mark this high and isn't improving at his age. |
12/1 |

14th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Five-time Kempton winner who boasts a consistent record round here too; solid comeback from over three months off over C&D last month and is well drawn for one happiest on the sharp end but has never won off a mark this high. |
5/1 |

3rd 3 (9) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |

Multiple AW winner, including C&D, but yet to win off a mark this high; creditable effort at Kempton (7f; Class 4) when last seen in December; could prove vulnerable at this level once again. |

Nowhere in this 12 months ago but returns in better form having won on the July course last month by nearly 5l and then close up at Newcastle off this 8lb higher mark; in the mix. |

Poor in three runs for Adrian Wintle after nine months off, despite being prominent in the market the last twice; switches from visor to first-time blinkers for another new yard; worth market check despite stall 12. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

All three wins on turf came on soft/heavy; it's been a while since his last success but he may be able to exploit this plummeting mark when he gets his conditions. |

6th 6 (6) |
3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 5lb |
Last two wins have come over C&D and he is 13lb lower than for the latest in May 2024 (0-24 since); has won fresh in the past and has run well on good to firm ground, but a softer surface suits him better. |

Won a 7f AW novice in early 2021; has been competitive in handicaps this season without looking to be well ahead of her mark; Connor Planas takes off a valuable 7lb but this one was below par on her only previous attempt on ground slower than good. |
