13th Jul 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Three starts, gelded before showing greatly improved form to win 12-runner maiden at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) one month ago; asserted late on and in good style, suggesting that this longer trip can suit on handicap debut. |

12th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
140,000gns yearling; well-held third on Goodwood debut (1m1f, heavy) last October and was last of six when favourite on his Chester reappearance (1m4f, good) last month; may not have handled that track but he's been gelded since but needs a more dynamic effort on this drop back in trip. |

18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 5f 26y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
All five starts on good to firm, landing maiden and handicap wins around 1m4f in midsummer; disappointed when stepped up to 1m6f for the strong Melrose Handicap at the York Ebor meeting last month but good chance he can resume his progression back in much calmer waters. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Won easily at 2-11 at Lingfield (11.6f, good to firm) in June on third start and followed up by a head in Newbury handicap (1m4f, good to firm); this is a much tougher test of his credentials and he could do with settling better now up in trip, but he's unexposed and is the sole runner for an in-form trainer who won this in 2019 and 2022; could have a part to play. |

25th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
1m4f maiden winner on good in June beaten but upwards of 4l in his three handicaps since; being eased another 2lb can only help but others are still preferred. |

14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Made all in workmanlike fashion when 5-6 in a Haydock maiden (1m4f, good) in June on third start; handicap debut (1m4f, AW debut) next time was creditable on form but he hung markedly left; last of 13 with blinkers at Glorious Goodwood (40-1) 13 days ago and now tries cheekpieces. |

30th Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Three AW wins early in year, latest on handicap debut when upped to 1m3f; came up short over 1m4f in his three starts since, however, two on AW and one on good to firm, and the improvement seems to have run out of steam. |

13th Jul 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Three wins on AW this January/February, the first of which was at the track and the latest on handicap debut when upped to 1m3f at Kempton; latest two starts (1m4f) suggest that the improvement may have run out of steam but he returns to AW now after trying turf at York Dante meeting. |

15th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Three wins on AW this January/February, latterly on handicap debut when upped to 1m3f at Kempton, but that improvement ran out of steam when a close third of four at Wolverhampton (1m4f) on latest start; needs to resume progress on this second turf outing. |

16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Unraced on firmer than good; four placings from his six starts, including over this sort of trip in two novice events in April and a five-runner AW handicap on latest outing; wore cheekpieces in the latter and they are retained; he needs to find a bit extra. |
9/2 |

13th Jul 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
His three placings from five starts include one over C&D; handicap debut at Doncaster five weeks ago came in a hot race and over 14.5f, which he may not have stayed, a creditable effort nevertheless but he surely needs better to win this; cheekpieces are enlisted. |
7/1 |

7th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 6f 115y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Runner-up twice in a row on AW (1m3f/1m4f) before 1l third in Haydock novice (11.6f, good) in April; unexposed but he needs to find some improvement now up in trip in a warm race on his handicap debut. |

0-10 but he's been runner-up on his last three starts, most recently when bumping into a subsequent winner over this C&D 28 days ago; solid claims with the cheekpieces retained. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Handy sort who is 0-7, but after a few disappointing efforts he bounced back when fourth of 13 at Kempton (1m3f, AW) last month (winner has gone in again since); could go well. |
