19th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Ended a long losing run when winning over this C&D in May but he's mostly fallen short of that form since, including on his last two starts; needs much more. |
16/1 |

7th 6 (9) |
28th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Gained sole handicap success in Class 5 in May and achieved his subsequent placed form in Class 4; came up short in Class 3 last time and can be opposed kept to this grade. |

10th 11 (2) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Pontefract (5f, good to soft) in May saw him end a losing run and he's been competitive again on last two outings when short-headed at Newcastle (5f, AW) and close up on heavy ground at Haydock; a bit more is needed, though. |

29th Jul 2023 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Marked improvement the last twice, winning a soft-ground 6f maiden at Ripon in May and following up with a front-running handicap win at Kempton last month (6f); 5lb rise to deal with against stronger opposition but his ceiling is yet to be established. |
5/1 |

23rd Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Lightly raced colt who followed his Ripon maiden win (6f, soft) last month with a front-running success at Kempton nine days ago; penalty asks more of him but it's interesting that Latin Lover won the same Kempton event before defying a penalty in this race 12 months ago; unraced on good or faster. |

28th Aug 2024 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won a C&D maiden in May 2023 and made all at Newcastle (5f, AW) this April off 2lb lower; however, he's finished last when back on turf for last two outings, so there are mixed messages. |
16/1 |

27th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Prominent racer; made all to win a 5f handicap at Newcastle in April off 3lb lower; next time was a write off and he returns from a break in a race packed with other pace influences. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Should be well treated now but his season hasn't caught light yet, including when well beaten three weeks ago after a three-month break; capable but not a solid option. |
9/1 |
|
15th 10 (10) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
His last success was 16 months ago but that was off 6lb higher and he didn't get much luck when fifth at Carlisle in June; could be dangerous back up in trip, but he probably wouldn't want the ground to dry out (most of his wins have been on good or slower). |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Had wind surgery prior to Ayr reappearance effort that seemed to be needed; gained most recent success off 4lb higher over C&D (good to soft) just over a year ago and looks interesting back here. |

11th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Fourth foal; half-brother to winners Bickerstaffe (5f-6f; RPR 106) and Springwood Drive (5f/6f; 78); dam placed 1m2f-1m4f, from useful family; there's potential in his pedigree and a market check is advised on debut. |

Yet to get within 8l of winning and has plenty to prove going beyond 1m for the first time. |

20th Dec 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Not shown much in his five starts so far, failing to improve for a step up in trip here (7f) last month (well behind Available Angel); makes little appeal. |

19th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
0-21 but regularly running to an RPR in the 70s over the winter; form has dipped more recently but he's been given a big chance by the handicapper and could have a big run in him from the inside stall. |
9/1 |

4th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
20-race maiden; not beaten far when sixth of eight at Windsor in July (5f, good to firm), but soundly beaten last two starts; now tried in blinkers (fair effort in first-time visor); others stronger. |
