9th Feb 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
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. |

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. |

7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Developed into a very useful handicapper for Ray Craggs in 2024, including a C&D win on good to firm; failed to scale the same heights for David Thompson in 2025 but has a reduced mark to work with now back under the care of his owner. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
C&D winner off this mark last summer and better than the result (met trouble) when fifth to Sir Busker in this 12 months ago; shaped as if retaining all his ability when sixth on C&D return in June and there have been excuses for two lesser runs since, with Thirsk fifth last time coming over a 7f trip which is likely a little on the short side for him nowadays; no shock were he to go well. |
25/1 |

2nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Won two in a row on turf last May/June (1m/1m2f) for Ray Craggs (who still owns him) and fair sixth on stable/seasonal debut at York (1m2f) in June; might not have been over those exertions when well held over 1m on AW at Newcastle 13 days later; effective over 7f. |

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. |

9th Feb 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
1m1f winner in June 2021 when trained by Dermot Weld; tailed off in two runs for George Boughey last spring, after which she had a second wind operation; two promising runs for this yard when an unconsidered outsider; drops in class this time and she makes some appeal. |
10/1 |

4th 6 (2) |
25th Jan 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Became disappointing for Dermot Weld and showed nothing in two starts on Polytrack for George Boughey last April but she showed ability remains when returning from a second wind op to finish fourth of seven at Southwell (1m) in a first-time tongue-tie (retained) 15 days ago; well handicapped if she can build on that. |

12th Jul 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
One piece of worthwhile form in his last three starts on turf, but returns to the AW off an 8lb lower mark than when successful at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) in January; can take a hold and needs a good pace to aim at, but he may get it and interesting now dropped into a Class 6 for the first time. |
5/2 |

27th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 3f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Both wins have come at Chelmsford (1m, AW), the latest from 6lb higher in January; lightly raced on turf (0-4), but he ran with credit when third of nine in this headgear combination at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) this month; 2lb lower and the winner has gone in again since; possibilities. |
3/1 |

3rd 8 (8) |
4th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |

Similar type to stablemate Nasim having gained his wins over 1m on AW; down the field in 1m2f contest back on turf last time; the plus point is his handy mark. |

11st 2lb |
In career-best form on the Flat this year, winning twice over 1m on Tapeta at Newcastle (latest RPR 86); should be fine stamina-wise over hurdles and has possibilities here if he finds some fluency. |

13th Jun 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Turf winner (8.5f, soft) for R Hannon as a 2yo; missed 2022; his two best efforts for new yard have come over 7f at Wolverhampton; chance if at that level but he's been below par the last twice. |
8/1 |

24th May 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |

Winner on soft ground for Richard Hannon as a 2yo before missing a chunk of his career; hasn't had a lot of luck with one thing and another on the AW this year and returns to turf on a fair mark if the first-time headgear helps. |
6/1 |

7th 6 (11) |
13th May 2023 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |

Below best over 1m on sole Polytrack start but in good form over 7f either side and found only a very interesting rival too good at Wolverhampton ten days ago; should be right there if handling this surface as well. |
