Still consistent but hasn't won in three years and isn't as good now; just a fair comeback effort over 5f here 12 days ago in second-time cheekpieces (has often worn a visor) but won't mind going back up in trip now he's had a run. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Down the field in two AW runs back from a break, the latest at Chelmsford last week; due to be 2lb lower from the weekend but he has a good record on soft ground and a revival wouldn't be a complete bolt from the blue. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Easy win over C&D in December off 3lb lower; should be sharper with his recent return to action behind him but others preferred at this level. |

In good order last winter, winning easily at Chelmsford last December and finishing second over C&D (off 2lb higher) in January; drawn wide on his return from 226 days off and likely there will be other days. |

6th Mar 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Ran his best race for this yard when third of ten at Wolverhampton on Monday (6f), leading in the straight but hanging sharply to his left and causing chaos in behind; stays this longer trip but he'll need to keep straighter to win. |

0-14 since successful at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) on his second start as a 2yo when trained by Kevin Ryan; first-time blinkers join the tongue-tie, but this looks an inadequate test for him now. |

7th Apr 2023 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Off the mark in first-time cheekpieces at Kempton in February; creditable run back there 30 days ago but he's drawn widest this time and the new tongue-tie will need to give him a lift. |

4th Feb 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Beaten favourite upped to 7f at Southwell last time, taking record to 0-6; has some encouraging sprint-race form, notably second over C&D earlier in January; combination of first-time headgear and drop back in trip may prompt a first win. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Should be thrown in on even last season's best but he has found it tough going for Robert Cowell this year; drops in class with cheekpieces fitted but drawn widest and others look safer. |

14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Off a 3lb lower mark when very nearly winning a 6f Class 2 handicap here last October (soft) on final run for John Ryan; however, a case can't be made on what he's shown during a light 2025 campaign. |
33/1 |

21st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Interesting on the pick of his form and he's on the same mark as when second in a better race at Doncaster last October (6f, soft); two modest efforts for his new yard this year but this is less taxing than the Stewards' Cup last time. |

Debut effort at Thirsk last summer (5f, good to soft) was full of promise; off the track for six months prior to her return at Newcastle 26 days ago, where she weakened tamely in the closing stages having been weak in the betting; too soon to write her off given that debut promise and she could be sharper with the Newcastle spin behind her. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
Second of 14 over C&D in October and had an excuse (hampered, then lit up) over C&D in November when last seen; however, he's inconsistent and needs to be at the top of his game on this return from a break. |

17th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Not firing on all cylinders since a wind op in July; returning to AW may help but this looks a competitive race in which to try and bounce back. |

1st Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |

Won off today's mark at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) in May and ran okay when fifth to Filey Beach over this C&D (good to soft) last time, but he needs something extra if he's to pose a threat today. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Runner-up in this race last year and he scored off 1lb lower at Chester (5f, good) last July; never a threat on his reappearance at Lingfield (6f) last month but he pulled hard and this drop back in trip is a positive; usually comes from off the pace and has claims if he gets the breaks. |

4th 1 (3) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |

Won three times over 5f on AW/turf last year; stays 6f perfectly well and can easily be excused his defeat on heavy ground in September but has fitness to prove after a seven-month break. |

23rd Sep 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Both wins at 6f, including a handicap on the AW in February; hasn't been ideally drawn in either run since returning from six months off and better is expected this afternoon. |

Half-brother to the very useful Dragon Symbol who's lightly raced and open to improvement; was drawn away from the action on his return from six months off on turf recently (gelded) and that was promising enough; is again drawn wide though. |
