9st 1lb |
Seven-time winner but hasn't scored since May 2024 and has been off since running well to finish third in a Ballinrobe claimer in July last year; record when fresh suggests he might need this. |

12th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
In good form this spring, winning at Thirsk (1m, good) and over C&D (good to firm) last month; front pair were 6l clear that day and if he can maintain that level of form he'd still look well treated despite a 5lb rise. |

9th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Just one win to his name but he regularly ran to an RPR in the 80s through the winter and his penultimate start at Ripon (1m, soft) wasn't bad in the context of this race; disconcerting to see him dropped to this grade but no surprise were he to prove too classy. |
11/4 |

12th 5 (8) |
13th May 2023 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |

Weighted to be involved on 7f Tapeta form in midwinter but he can lose ground at the start and, with no experience of Polytrack, he has something to prove against rivals who handle the surface well. |
8/1 |

20th Apr 2023 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Sole success came over 6f on good ground last June; mostly consistent since, including in his autumn/winter campaign on AW, but he missed the break and was never involved in the Spring Mile at Doncaster on his return to turf 19 days ago. |

11-time AW winner including four at this track (7f/1m2f); has a patchy record this year but he came from the rear to finish runner-up in a classified event at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last Tuesday; should get a decent tow into this race and he's respected back on Polytrack. |
