Five-time winner on turf, but losing run now up to 21; makes his debut for another new yard after seven months off and the market should indicate what is expected. |

9th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Just one win to his name but he regularly ran to an RPR in the 80s through the winter and his penultimate start at Ripon (1m, soft) wasn't bad in the context of this race; disconcerting to see him dropped to this grade but no surprise were he to prove too classy. |
11/4 |
|
12th 5 (8) |
13th May 2023 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Weighted to be involved on 7f Tapeta form in midwinter but he can lose ground at the start and, with no experience of Polytrack, he has something to prove against rivals who handle the surface well. |
8/1 |
|
5th 5 (8) |
20th Apr 2023 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Sole success came over 6f on good ground last June; mostly consistent since, including in his autumn/winter campaign on AW, but he missed the break and was never involved in the Spring Mile at Doncaster on his return to turf 19 days ago. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Closely-matched with Classic Encounter on their form at York last June (1m1f, good to firm); bit disappointing since Ripon win in July (1m, good to soft), although excuses for poor reappearance run (blindfold removed late). |
20/1 |
|
9th 7 (4) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Three wins last May/July at about 1m on various ground and he's back down to his last winning mark; ended 2025 quietly and there's a suspicion he'll improve for this comeback run; withdrawn after getting upset in the stalls at Ripon two weeks ago (25-1 at the time). |

16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Three wins last May/July at about 1m on various ground and he's back down to his last winning mark; may have been ready for a break towards end of last season but there's a suspicion he'll improve for this comeback run. |

26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Last eight starts in classifieds and he didn't always get the breaks when third over C&D 12 days ago; that was one of his better recent efforts and he's firmly in calculations. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 6 (5) |
14th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Regressive 8yo; running respectably at this level in 2026 but 2l behind Woodrafff at Newcastle last week; never threatened over 1m2f on Thursday; easy enough to look elsewhere. |
8/1 |
|
6th 10 (4) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Spent most of a long career racing at shy of 1m and didn't look to see it out in one try over this far (C&D); not as good now and can miss the break and/or pull hard, so comes with risks attached. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 20y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Hit form with vengeance through the second half of 2025, winning four of his last five (all here, 1m-1m2f); the bulk of those were on soft to heavy, and he has risen a combined total of 23lb in the handicap; merits respect, but is returning from a 223-day absence; rain would help. |
13/2 |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Made it three course wins from his last four starts when scoring over C&D (soft) nine days ago; came clear with an in-form runner-up last time and this rejuvenated 7yo may well take a 4lb penalty in his stride. |
5/2 |
|
5 (7) |
30th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Suited by plenty of give in the ground and comes here in good form having won two of his last three races, both here, first over 1m2f on good, latest over 1m on soft (won by 4.25l); up 8lb but looks the one to beat. |

29th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
In good form for new yard this summer, recording a comfortable win at Redcar (1m, good) in July and just as good when second at Musselburgh (7f, good) three weeks ago (both under Rebecca Hitchen); another prominent showing is on the cards with the return to 1m in his favour. |
7/2 |

2nd 4 (1) |
8th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
10st 13lb |
Recorded a comfortable win under Rebecca Hitchen, who was unable to claim, at Redcar (1m, good) last week on second start for new stable; rider can now use 5lb allowance, which offsets a penalty; scored over 7f very early in career; this in-form 9yo commands respect. |
2/1 |

1st 3 (1) |
30th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
5-43, with his latest win coming off this mark at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in December; posted a solid effort when third of 12 over that C&D on stable debut under Rebecca Hitchen 33 days ago (raced wide); has won over 1m but he hasn't won on turf since 2019. |

Sole win was a novice race last April before he went handicapping; reappearance was the only time he's come close to making the most of his fall in the weights but that was four starts ago and over 7f on AW. |

26th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Smart in his younger days but, given his form last winter, his 100-1 success in a 0-50 classified event over C&D in March was still a big shock; may have needed his comeback run over 5f here ten days ago but he finished last of seven and needs to leave that form a long way behind. |

Smart in his younger days but, given his form last winter, his 100-1 success in a 0-50 classified event here (6f) in March was still a big shock; the drop back in trip may have helped, but he's been on the sidelines since that last run and this is tougher back in a handicap on his return. |

10th Oct 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dual turf winner for David O'Meara and twice ran with credit at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) a year ago, but five efforts on turf for this yard since April leave plenty to be desired; best watched for now. |
