23rd Jan 2025 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Was snapping a losing run when prevailing narrowly at Lingfield (1m4f) but then followed up over the same C&D ten days ago, defying a 4lb penalty without being overly pressed; only 2lb higher for this despite another penalty, but stamina for 2m is unproven. |

24th Jan 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Ran well over C&D one year ago (after 495 days off) and also went close at Lingfield last winter; not quite as persuasive subsequently but he's had a wind operation since last seen and is not discounted at this level. |

Three-time course winner at 1m4f; respectable fourth over 2m and 1m4f the last twice; won over 1m2f early in career but doesn't appear to be crying out for the return to this trip. |

29th May 2024 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Started off for Rebecca Menzies with two poor AW runs in February/March (started very slowly both times) but his sixth of 15 over hurdles at Perth (2m4f, good to soft) this month gives him something to build on here. |
14/1 |

15th May 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Five-time winner on Tapeta but he's been out of sorts on AW in two runs for new yard this year; still unexposed over hurdles but his last run in this sphere was in December 2021 and it is not hard to have reservations; reapplied cheekpieces replace a visor. |

25th Feb 2023 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Both turf wins have been in France, but his other success came on this surface (1m2f) early last year; beaten just over a length into fourth of ten behind Forge Valley Lad over the same trip back here this month (attempted to make all), but is yet to prove he wants this far; cheekpieces return. |
12/1 |

3rd Feb 2023 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

C&D winner last January and added a soft-ground handicap in France to his tally in the summer; inconsistent of late but down in the weights and new headgear is given a spin today. |
20/1 |

9th 7 (2) |
8th Jan 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |

Two of his three wins have been in France, the other coming at Lingfield (1m2f, Polytrack) a year go; just behind Star Shield when third of ten at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) in October, but this may be an insufficient test for him now. |

Triple winner here, including over C&D when 3lb lower in March; unseated rider when stumbling leaving the stalls here on his return from a break latest; back again after more than three weeks off but hasn't won when fresh since 2019. |

21st Aug 2023 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Successful in 2m contest here when last seen 170 days ago, showing that he retains plenty of ability aged 11; drop back to 1m4f looks a negative, with last five wins at 1m5f+. |

Four course wins, latest two over C&D and 1m5f early in 2024 (both with no headgear; cheekpieces refitted today); creditable return from break at Kempton and no blame attached to his third over C&D since; not far away. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |

Has struggled over hurdles since rejoining this stable but his penultimate Flat run was encouraging and this is his first time in a seller. |
12/1 |
|
5th 3 (6) |
14th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
He's struggled over hurdles since rejoining this stable but he ran a respectable race at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) 10 days ago; needs to build on that effort now stepping back up in trip and he's without a win on the Flat since 2022. |
5/1 |

4th 2 (7) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
8yo who has struggled back over hurdles since rejoining Fergal O'Brien in the autumn; his sole Flat win came at this track (11.4f, good to firm) but that was in 2022 and he has something to prove back in this sphere; hood reapplied. |

7th Mar 2023 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Hooded for the first time when scoring over hurdles at Ludlow (2m juvenile, good; favourite) in November; slowly away on both AW starts since wind surgery; easing steadily in the weights but others are more convincing. |
16/1 |
|
9 (10) |
25th Feb 2023 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Off the mark at the ninth attempt in a Goodwood seller (1m3f) last August when trained by Amanda Perrett and won over hurdles for this yard in November; hasn't shown much in a hurdle and two outings on the AW since (underwent wind surgery before penultimate start) and others appeal more. |
16/1 |
|
6th 4 (4) |
17th Feb 2023 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Dual-purpose performer whose sole Flat win came in a Goodwood seller (1m3f) last summer and he was last of seven back in this sphere at Lingfield (1m4f; first run after wind surgery) last month; now drops back in grade but he's untried on Tapeta and others are preferred. |
