3rd 2 (2) |
10th Feb 2023 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Pulled up in two hurdles last summer but he returned to the Flat for new yard with a Newcastle win (1m) last month followed by a close call at Wolverhampton (8.6f); his progress stalled when a well-held fifth on Tapeta last time but he still looks feasibly treated on his penultimate form and his first win came on Polytrack; dangerous if he can bounce back at this new trip. |
7/2 |

5th 8 (8) |
25th Jan 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Pulled up in two hurdles last summer but much better back on AW Flat for excellent new stable in recent weeks, winning over C&D before narrowly denied on follow-up bid at Wolverhampton a week ago; races from a 3lb lower mark than at Wolverhampton so his claims are obvious. |

2nd Apr 2024 Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Can race freely but has responded well to blinkers, winning two of his three starts in this headgear (all on AW); up 7lb for the latest but that was quite decisive from off the pace and this could also be run to suit; 1m with cut underfoot is fine. |

9st 4lb |
Tends to race too freely but seemed to respond well to first-time blinkers when winning off reduced mark at Southwell (7f) last month; ought to have been suited by the return to 1m when very disappointing joint-favourite here two weeks ago but no surprise if he bounces back quickly. |

9st 4lb |
Handy sort who is 1-1 here and ran well returned to turf when beaten a short head and a neck into third of eight at Hamilton (1m, good) a fortnight ago; ground faster than good probably not ideal, though. |

Ended a long losing run at Newcastle (7f) in February but below par both runs since, sixth in 8.5f handicap at Wolverhampton last time; has a rare run on turf now. |

29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |

Gained Newcastle win number ten in February; respectable sixth at Wolverhampton (8.6f) latest; it's hard to get excited by last year's turf exploits but he was runner-up over 1m here in April 2024. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Goes back to the blinkers worn for both Newcastle wins, latterly off 3lb lower, for Iain Jardine in the winter but again no sign of the usual tongue-tie; big price and well held for his new yard on turf a few weeks ago. |
20/1 |

11th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

9th Feb 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |

Little doubt he has the ability to win races off this mark but his style of racing makes him a hostage to fortune; in form but this isn't sure to be run to suit him ideally either. |

6th 3 (3) |
12th Jan 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |

The hood has had a positive effect and he's arguably been an unlucky loser over 7f here the last twice; didn't look to see out this trip in one previous attempt but has been shaping as though worth another try and holds leading claims. |

1st Jan 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Six-time course winner who was a good third over C&D on his penultimate run and he had an excuse when returned to 1m4f here last time; now drops back in trip and has possibilities if he gets a good pace and some luck. |
12/1 |

8th 4 (5) |
8th Dec 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Won in April and has mostly run respectably since; familiar face here, including with seven wins and nine seconds, but in a 68-race career he's only once (well beaten at 1m4f in 2019) been beyond 1m2f. |
8/1 |

3rd 1 (10) |

On an 11-race losing run but he's a seven-time course winner (1m/1m2f) who ran well when fourth over 1m here on Tuesday; might not be far away. |

9st 3lb |
Beaten 13 times since last win at Newcastle (7f, AW) last September but close fifth of seven at Ayr (1m, good to firm) recently and he may appreciate the return to 7f; his mark continues to fall and he might not be far away. |
