22nd Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Not one to trust and had the run of things up front when posting a better performance over 1m1f here recently; not sure to back that up. |

1st Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner last summer; seemingly back in good form when second of 13 here (1m, good) in April, but disappointed on both outings last month and has become hard to predict. |

19th Jun 2025 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |

Enters calculations on the form of his second in 1m Musselburgh handicap in April but he beat only one over 7f there 12 days ago; he needs to get back on track. |

17th Jul 2023 Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |

Successful over 7f on AW and 1m2f here this term; form has dipped since the latter win, however. |

5th 3 (8) |
15th Jul 2023 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Resumed winning ways at Ayr (1m2f) in May but he's been well below par since, only tenth at Musselburgh (9f) ten days ago; he needs to get back on track. |

5th Jul 2023 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won for the second time on turf at Ayr (1m2f, good) in May but despite that form looking solid enough, he's been some way below that in two subsequent starts; bit to prove dropping slightly in trip. |

14th Feb 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Latest three wins at 6f/7f in early 2023 but he confirmed he's perfectly effective over C&D when running well against a next-time winner in January (first-time visor); another sound effort back over 7f since; solid claims for in-form yard. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 7 (9) |
4th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Five wins here including two over this trip; one of his better recent efforts when second of 11 in a 0-50 classified event over 1m here (first-time visor) 12 days ago; could go well but a losing run of 21 tempers enthusiasm. |

20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
11-time course winner who defied this mark over C&D in December; some creditable efforts since but he has been a bit up and down and was only sixth behind Anthropologist here last time; others preferred. |
16/1 |
|
6th 5 (9) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
11-time course winner, the latest over C&D in December, and he twice finished placed over C&D last month; certainly of interest on that form but this 12yo has gone off the boil on his last two starts. |
14/1 |

11th 1 (7) |
14th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Failed to fire at Newcastle last week but this veteran had run two fine races in defeat beforehand; fully effective at this track too so no great surprise were he to rebound quickly. |

15th Aug 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Sole win in 30 starts came in a 0-50 classified event over C&D in February, but out of the frame in all five starts since; others look more solid, |

6th 3 (10) |
4th Aug 2023 Good 0m 7f 33y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Just the one win from 29 starts but it was a similar race to this on AW in February; not at his best when last seen in April and rain would be a concern (unraced on slower than good and once a non-runner due to soft ground). |

22nd Nov 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

C&D winner (off 3lb lower) last autumn but has a question mark over current form, having trailed home last (had an irregular heartbeat) in sole run this year; market can guide. |

Down the field in four runs for his current stable and don't need much encouragement to look elsewhere. |

24th Mar 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Multiple course winner but drawn a blank since his C&D success in December 2020; ran better than the distance beaten suggests here ten days ago (hampered in the final 110 yards) but others still appeal more for win purposes. |
10/1 |
|
4th 9 (8) |
14th Mar 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Five wins to his name on the AW but the last of them was here over 7f in December 2020; has won over 6f and hinted at a revival here two starts ago; blinkers go on; could go well at a decent price. |
20/1 |

13 (1) |
9th Mar 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Five-time course winner in 2020 (four over this trip) but he hasn't shown that much since returning from an absence, weakening to finish ninth of ten over C&D a week ago; first-time blinkers (replacing regular cheekpieces) need to make a big difference. |
