4th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Improved with each run, winning a 7f maiden at Redcar on his second start and then defying a penalty over C&D last month; he'll need more to defy this mark now pitched into a competitive handicap though. |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Dam a winning sprinter from a good family and he has shown useful ability in his two starts (both 7f), finishing third at Redcar on debut (good) and then winning at Redcar last month (good to firm); can do better but defying a penalty won't be easy on his AW debut. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Both races were 7f novices on Newcastle AW, showing promise in September and winning in clearcut style in November; has a useful pedigree and brings clear potential but 22-runner race is something of a baptism of fire for this handicap and turf debut. |

1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
50-1 on C&D debut in September but he made some late headway and was only beaten 2l in third of six; that was a promising start and he should improve for the experience. |

26th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Off the mark at the tenth attempt (first in cheekpieces) when keeping on strongly to win at Windsor 15 days ago (Danger Alert fourth and Over Spiced fifth); up 5lb but still unexposed in the context of this field. |
9/4 |

1st 7 (8) |
11th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Nine-race maiden but he has shown some promise and he wasn't beaten far at Bath 12 days ago (5.7f, firm); 1lb lower today and now tried in cheekpieces. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 6 (1) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Eight-race maiden and he didn't look an easy ride when second of four in a Wolverhampton novice in February, hanging badly right; only sixth of nine in a handicap at Newcastle (5f, AW) 73 days ago and now returns to turf on his first start since; others make more appeal. |

Lightly raced but didn't last long with the Crisfords and hasn't offered all that much in two handicaps. |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent gelding who ran another solid race when second of eight at Southwell two weeks ago; sets the standard and looks sure to go well again. |

29th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Four-race maiden; disappointing favourite kept to 7f last time but gave the impression this drop back in trip is worth exploring; major player on peak efforts. |

5 (6) |
11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Shaped well amidst evident inexperience on his Chelmsford debut last November (6f); not so good on his reappearance in May but he was gelded and underwent wind surgery soon after that; back from a break with a fine second at Kempton two weeks ago (wore this combination of accessories for the first time); obvious claims with a repeat. |

20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Six-race maiden; shown precious little since wind surgery, toiling over 7f here (40-1) 11 days ago; a most unlikely candidate. |
66/1 |

4 (6) |
25th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Second run, which came here over 6f, was better than her first but she was last of six over this C&D two weeks ago; makes her handicap debut with better needed. |

6 (1) |
11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Second run was better than her first but she still has a mountain to climb in this company. |
