15th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Hard to recommend on recent efforts, but has dropped 7lb lower than when gaining his second C&D success back in February; worth a second look with a visor given a try, especially if attracting support. |
9/1 |

26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Won at Kempton (1m4f, AW) in February but he's not fired in three starts since July and seems out of sorts at present; only of interest with market support. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |

This year's win was on Polytrack at Kempton (1m4f) in February and he's 2lb lower today, having gone off the boil in his two runs this summer; has never won beyond 1m4f and he last ran on ground softer than good in 2021. |

All five wins have been at this track (9.4f) but losing spell goes back to April 2022 and he's been quiet in his three runs this winter; mark continues to fall but he's 0-8 at this trip and others are more convincing. |

24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Acts on good to firm and good to soft; respectable third off this mark at Sandown (1m6f) most recently; has form figures of 113 over this C&D and holds a solid chance back here. |

Creditable third twice in May; form dipped when he tried front-running on latest start (had a good record at Goodwood before that) and it had looked as if 1m6f-2m was more his thing these days. |

4th Mar 2023 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Winner in Ireland on her debut and promise for Harry Dunlop last winter; new connections seem to be struggling to nail down her best trip (raced between 8.6f and 2m in three outings) but her most encouraging effort came over C&D on penultimate start; eased another 3lb and there's still time for her to click for this yard. |

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 |

5th 2 (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 |
9st 6lb |
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. |
14/1 |
