2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Failed to build on a decent fourth at Lingfield (1m2f) in February when behind Blue Rc at Newcastle (1m) on Good Friday but the fact he made all in this race off 8lb lower last year means a revival can't be discounted, particularly as he's well drawn to attack again; tongue-tied first time. |

8th 9 (5) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Quiet in Dubai in January but he returned to Britain with a good fourth at Lingfield (1m2f) five weeks ago; now 6lb lower than when winning the Thirsk Hunt Cup last May and he has the ability to feature. |
25/1 |

4th 4 (5) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Often front runs; below par in three outings at Meydan last month (including dirt) but well treated if a return to Britain sparks a revival having landed last year's Thirsk Hunt Cup off 6lb higher; Tapeta winner at the start of his career. |

The return to AW and the first-time cheekpieces are possible positives, but he's been disappointing this year and a major turnaround is needed. |

17th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Hampered early last time, but unlikely judged on this year's struggles for both her former and current handlers that this would have cost her significantly better; cheekpieces hurriedly replace the visor. |

30th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Safely held on both recent starts for new stable (2m2f) and now 0-12 over hurdles; faced fairly tough assignment when third of five from out of the weights last time but still needs a boost from the new visor here. |

6th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Left Dan Skelton after some below-par efforts this spring/summer and was tailed off on stable debut at Market Rasen (2m2f, good) three weeks ago; 12lb out of the weights and has a lot to prove. |

26th Jan 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Led towards the finish in 1m Lingfield maiden at the start of the month; may have followed up in 1m2f handicap there but for being quite badly hampered over 1f out; has looked slightly awkward but first-time cheekpieces may help in that regard and there's little doubt he has the ability to win off this mark. |

Gradually got the hang of things at maiden/novice level, recording form figures of 742; pair of duck eggs since handicapping, however; wind surgery needs to make a difference. |

11th 7 (9) |
19th Jun 2023 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Progressive RPRs over 7f in her first three runs but she started her handicap career with a poor effort at Leicester (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago; that was at a big price and she has something to prove after that heavy defeat. |
25/1 |
|
13th 3 (11) |
29th May 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has improved with each of her three runs, most recently when runner-up in a maiden at Ayr (7f, good to firm) on her seasonal return; rallied behind an odds-on rival in that race and she's open to more progress now upped in trip on her handicap debut; in the mix. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
C&D winner who has been back to form over 9.5f at Wolverhampton this autumn, building on last month's second when going one better under Josephine Gordon 12 days ago; did well to get up after meeting trouble and 3lb rise should not prevent another bold bid. |

29th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Placed in a similar race on handicap debut at Southwell (7f; 4-1) in February; made a low-key return at Yarmouth (last of nine) last month but, with the application of cheekpieces and that run under his belt, an improved effort remains a possibility. |

Seemingly much improved when getting off the mark with 11l win in 7f Catterick handicap (on soft ground) eight days ago; that margin might flatter him but he's still hard to side against turned out under a 6lb penalty. |
