4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Better than ever with 1m2f wins at Newbury and Epsom (made all) on good ground in April but a further 5lb rise proved enough to stop him at York last time; might be vulnerable again. |
9/1 |

9th 3 (5) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Very close to his best when beating 13 others to land Newbury handicap in April and he made all at Epsom (also 1m2f, good) ten days later; may have been fortunate to beat a subsequently impressive winner on the latter occasion, however, and this career-high mark demands a fair bit more. |

28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Beat 13 rivals to win at Newbury (1m2f, good) ten days ago on his second start back from some time off; back up 4lb but he's just 1lb higher than when second in this last year and he's a solid contender. |

25th Jun 2024 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |

1st 6 |
13th May 2024 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Changed hands after winning Flat seller for William Haggas last summer (1m3f, soft; RPR 79); just a respectable fourth in uncompetitive Plumpton maiden (2m, good) on last month's stable/hurdle debut and needs that outing to have brought him on significantly. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Took form to new level when collecting good prize on AW in January, his 14th career success; below best on turf lately but might be perked up by a change of headgear here and is too well handicapped to rule out. |

Kickstarted 2025 with 1m2f handicap success at Newcastle in January, but he's failed to beat a rival on his last three runs, finishing last of 16 in 1m2f Epsom handicap 22 days ago. |

24th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Five Flat wins in 2024, culminating in this race (1lb lower today); well suited by ploughing through the mud and best result this term came on soft, when runner-up at Yarmouth (1m6f) in July; ran respectably here on good to soft last time and a bold show seems likely if he's in the mud today. |
7/1 |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 5f 61y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Five wins in a tremendously progressive 2024; well suited by ploughing through the mud and his best result this term came on soft ground, when runner-up at Yarmouth (1m6f) in July; respectable fourth in a Racing League event over 2m on Southwell's AW latest; feasibly handicapped and would enter the reckoning if the ground remains on the soft side. |

28th Aug 2025 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Five wins in a tremendously progressive 2024 on Flat; well suited by ploughing through the mud and his best result this term came on soft ground, when runner-up on penultimate start; beaten 20l when last on his sole AW start in 2023 and others have more compelling claims. |

18th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Useful on the Flat at his best; safely held on first two hurdling starts (2m3f/2m1f) and was tailed off when unseating rider on latest outing but makes his handicap hurdle debut in a low-grade race and may yet transfer some of that Flat ability to this code. |

Flat winner for previous stable; form for current yard, including twice over hurdles at Fontwell, leaves a lot to be desired. |

8th Apr 2023 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Perhaps flattered by his standout effort at Goodwood in October in a steadily run race (1m1f, good to soft); disappointing when sent off favourite for his handicap debut at Kempton in January (1m4f) and sold out of Amanda Perrett's yard for 4,000gns the following month; too soon to write off. |

19th Oct 2023 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Upped to 1m4f with cheekpieces added when close second of four at Ffos Las (soft) in August in his second handicap; shaped like a stayer that day but well beaten at Nottingham (2m, heavy) when next seen seven weeks later; lightly raced and not written off on AW debut. |

16th Aug 2023 Heavy 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Well-beaten fourth of five here (1m2f, soft) on last month's handicap debut and has something to prove after that; however, he'd shaped previously as though this step up to 1m4f may suit and the added cheekpieces may be another positive; remains lightly raced and is not written off. |
