Beaten 19 times since his C&D win in March 2025; running well in defeat in recent starts and there is no obvious reason why he wouldn't be in the thick of it again.

His only win from 20 starts came when long odds-on for a C&D maiden in March 2025; there have been plenty of placed efforts amongst his 17 handicap defeats and he has slipped to the lowest mark of his career; respected.

Front-running filly who was second on her C&D reappearance (good to soft; acts on soft) before winning at Ayr (1m, good to firm) and Carlisle (7f, good) in May/June; freshened up since a lesser effort in Ripon in early July and capable of bouncing back.

Thriving of late and she cosily made it two wins from her last three starts in ten-runner handicap at Doncaster (5f, good) 13 days ago; up 3lb but this C&D scorer seems sure to be on the premises again with promising 5lb claimer Conor Whiteley up again.

Recorded his fourth win when taking five-runner Catterick handicap (5f, good to firm) in June but there have been diminishing returns subsequently; possible he prefers this sort of field size and there's nothing wrong with his mark if he can stage a revival.
