1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Just 1lb above his last winning mark, but is 6-31 on the AW and 0-18 on turf, including six starts over hurdles; others more solid. |

9th 12 (2) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Made all at Kempton (2m, Polytrack) in January and head second to Berkshire Sundance at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) later that month; not quite at the same level at Southwell (2m2f, Tapeta) last month but he failed to settle; Newcastle form figures read 12139 and he has an each-way shout. |

4th Mar 2026 Standard 2m 2f 98y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Kempton winner (2m Class 4; 3-1, from 3lb lower) on penultimate start; went close to following up - pipped on the post - at Lingfield (2m; 9-2) subsequently; this asks a slightly sterner question over a new distance on the Flat; likely to give another positive account. |

5th Jan 2023 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Over two years since the last of his four wins, all of which have come at Wolverhampton; he is effective here too though and has run some good races in defeat since joining Mick Appleby; should run his race and he is not discounted with a cheekpiece experiment quickly aborted. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Won first three handicaps for new yard on AW and turf (1m-1m2f) by emphatic margins but he couldn't defy a penalty in October and was a further 5lb higher when soundly beaten in November; now has to show he can cope with current mark; regular cheekpieces left off. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Ridden last three years by Alice Bond; 3-3 for Martin Dunne with his wins over 9.4f at Wolverhampton, 1m2f at Brighton and 8.6f at Wolverhampton, with varied tactics but all in good style; 4lb penalty and just six days off but that latest run was career-best form and this 7yo is on the march. |

On a losing run but ran respectably both starts this term, close third of six at Lingfield latest; that was 1m2f but he has a mixed record over this far; ground softer than good would be a big worry. |

31st May 2023 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Fair on the Flat but yet to make an impact over hurdles; brushed aside fairly easily after leading on final circuit at Plumpton (2m, good; refitted blinkers) this month; will need to show more tenacity here. |

8th 9 |
14th May 2023 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Three French Flat wins and he's 0-30 in Britain, though placed on many occasions; shaped quite well on hurdling debut but twice tailed off since; risky but opening mark of 83 would look lenient if showing his best. |

10th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Mostly consistent since joining this yard and won over Brighton's 1m (good) in April off 4lb lower; should give his running once more. |

11th May 2023 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Came good for Simon Hodgson at fourth attempt, leading close home at Brighton (1m, good; visored) last month; raced too freely in first-time blinkers there last week but still ran well; has the visor refitted here and this drop back to 7f is an interesting move; might be the answer. |

2nd Sep 2023 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |

Became disappointing on the Flat for David Menuisier last year and did not convince with his jumping when safely held in two novice hurdles for Oliver Sherwood this summer; now with another new stable; needs to learn to settle much better. |

Became disappointing on the Flat for David Menuisier last year and didn't convince with his jumping when well-held fifth of six on last month's stable/hurdle debut; entitled to have learned from that experience but others look safer here. |

Maiden who missed a lot of last year and has regressed; comes back down in trip again, switched from cheekpieces to blinkers, and doesn't make obvious appeal. |
