26th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
First-time cheekpieces did the trick in a Yarmouth classified in July and it was a solid effort when second of four in a handicap there (also 11.5f, good) three weeks ago; earlier AW form may be a red herring and he's respected again. |
4/1 |

3rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 104y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
The first-time cheekpieces (retained) did the trick when off the mark over C&D (good) 18 days ago; that was a classified contest but the RPR he posted suggests this mark should be very manageable. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
8st 8lb |
3yo maiden; in a consistent vein of form at about 1m4f this summer and shaped like a non-stayer when stepped up to 1m6f at Chelmsford latest (treated as if still in form). |
11/1 |
|
6 (1) |
9th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 7lb |
3yo maiden; in a consistent vein of form at about 1m4f of late; chance of winning depends on whether he improves for new trip. |
6/1 |

4th 8 (4) |
3rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Beaten only a neck in a classified event at Yarmouth (1m4f, good) in July; respectable effort over that same C&D next time before finishing fourth of ten here on turf (1m4f; first-time cheekpieces) 22 days ago; hood and cheekpieces are now replaced by blinkers on this return to AW. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
10st 7lb |
Inconsistent 22-race maiden but he has form over C&D and was runner-up over 1m6f here (soft) on his penultimate run; has claims if he can get back near that level and he seems versatile ground-wise. |
4/1 |
|
6 (6) |
13th Sep 2025 Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
No threat to Rupert The Prince when second here (1m6f, soft) ten days ago and now 0-21 but that still goes down as a good effort and he'll be fine over today's longer trip; each-way claims at least. |
7/1 |

2nd 11 (14) |
3rd Sep 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
0-20; made the frame in five of his seven turf starts this season, including twice at this track; there was a lesser show when the ground went good to soft on latest outing but each-way contender if that was a blip. |

8st 10lb |
Gained all three wins for Ian Williams at classified level on AW; always behind on stable debut at Bath (11.6f, firm) last month but he now returns to Polytrack and has claims if he can get back near best; hood is removed and tongue-tie returns. |
10/1 |

27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |

Gained all three wins for Ian Williams at classified level on AW; remains to be seen whether he can hold his form back on turf; wears new headgear on stable debut. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Won the penultimate renewal of this race in 2022 which was his last success; the closest he's come this year was at classified level but could still run well with the ground in his favour. |

Sole success on the Flat came at Jersey in June; moderate otherwise and has his work cut out on hurdling debut. |

28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Gambled on when just failing to make winning handicap debut (1m, AW) in February; prominent in the market all starts since although it took a trip to Jersey (2m; won easily) on penultimate run to get off the mark; wore cheekpieces for the third time when he proved underwhelming in a Yarrmouth classified (11.5f, pulled hard) six weeks ago; now goes back up in trip with no headgear. |

16th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 104y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Gambled on when just failing to make a winning handicap debut in February and he's been prominent in the market all starts since, including when third of 13 in his first classified at Windsor (1m3.5f, good to firm) last month; it took a trip to Jersey (2m; won easily) to get him off the mark 19 days ago but he's respected. |

22nd Jan 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |

Modest sixth in similar event over C&D on reappearance, extending his losing run, but may fare better with the outing under his belt; scored twice at Southwell in 2023. |
16/1 |

7 (6) |
24th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |

Beaten just under 7l when fourth of eight in Bath handicap over an extended 1m3f seven weeks ago, extending his losing run to 17; others are more persuasive. |
16/1 |

9 (11) |
3rd Sep 2025 Good 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Last won over C&D last May; first-time blinkers (retained) replaced visor for his last two starts and he responded with a creditable third in a classified at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to soft) on first occasion; tailed off on latest, however, which was a poor show notwithstanding the 1m2f. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Made his breakthrough (tenth attempt) off a reduced mark at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) last month and he was only narrowly denied at Newcastle (1m2f) two weeks later; only 1lb higher and is a big player if he can transfer his progress back to turf. |

19th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Made his breakthrough (tenth attempt) when justifying support off a reduced mark at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) 13 days ago; back up 5lb but he finished well to score with authority last time and is a big player again on this step back up in trip. |
2/1 |

6th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

16th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 104y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Modest ten-race maiden who has been struggling (1m-1m2f) since coming back from a gelding operation and wind surgery in the spring; probably worth a go at this trip but still has a bit to prove on classified debut. |
33/1 |
|
5 (4) |
16th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Modest nine-race maiden who has struggled in his last three handicaps including when tailed off at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) 13 days ago; visor is now tried and he has lots to prove back on AW. |
25/1 |
|
9 (10) |
3rd Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Modest maiden (eight races) who has not shone in handicaps; pedigree suggests she is not shouting out for this step up in trip but latest performance gave a bit of encouragement for it. |
