22nd Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Sent handicapping for three wins (all on softer than good; unraced on heavy) and a controversial second from four starts this spring, all at odds on; good to firm may have been against him in June on his only appearance since; absent three months but he catches the eye with the ground back in his favour and his sire gives encouragement for 1m2f. |
3/1 |

7th 2 (10) |
25th Jun 2023 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Three wins and a controversial second in four handicap runs this year, climbing 31lb in the weights as a result; suspect there is more to come and he's one to take seriously; untested on faster than good to soft. |

Formerly effective on AW but has produced best results for current stable on turf; regressive form since returned to AW started with a modest third over C&D (sole 2m attempt). |

7th Feb 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Just 2-31 but had dropped in the weights and undergone wind surgery before finishing a creditable third of ten at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) in December; each-way claims if backing it up. |

17th Dec 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
He's been disappointing since July and has undergone wind surgery since finishing seventh here (1m2f) last month; drops in trip/grade and a market check looks prudent. |

13th Nov 2023 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Exposed 3yo whose record is only 1-26; however, he's currently in a consistent vein of form and went down by only a neck at Lingfield (1m, AW) eight days ago; has a fighting chance off same mark. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 7 (3) |
5th Nov 2023 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Sole win (25 races) was in July 2022 over 7f here; consistent in recent outings, runner-up to Neptune Legend over C&D last time, and has a cracking each-way chance once again. |

17th Apr 2023 Soft 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Raced three times last autumn, best effort when third over C&D (good to soft) on sole turf attempt; open to progress in handicaps this year and has possibilities back here. |

9st 3lb |
Consistent form figures (311333) on AW since December, the two wins gained at classified level (7f/9.5f); not without a chance, provided she's as effective back on turf. |

3rd 4 (3) |
