18th Oct 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Having dropped down the weights he returned to form with a neck second at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) three weeks ago; has also run well on Polytrack; can be in the mix back up 3lb if producing another good run. |

28th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Dead-heated in 8.6f Wolverhampton novice in April but became very disappointing during the summer; suffered heavy defeat when tried in blinkers (now removed) this month; needs to turn a corner. |

2nd Sep 2023 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Dead-heated in 8.5f AW novice event at Wolverhampton in April; hasn't progressed in handicaps and more new headgear tried now. |

1st 4 (2) |
3rd Oct 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Impressed on his first attempt at 6f, making all to beat 12 rivals at Nottingham in July; not ideally drawn in either run since and he isn't fully exposed as a sprinter just yet; cheekpieces are now added. |
5/1 |
|
6th 2 (6) |
27th Aug 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Won in good style at Nottingham (6f, good) last month on second start back from an absence and first crack at sprinting; failed to back that up at York but didn't run badly and this very lightly raced 5yo retains potential for his powerful connections; no surprise to see a bold show. |
9/2 |
|
8th 3 (11) |
26th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Low-mileage 5yo who delivered a career-best when dropped to 6f (good ground) at Nottingham three weeks ago, always prominent and strong at the finish; a 7lb rise for that win doesn't look generous but he still has potential at this trip. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Prominent racer who won classified events at Wolverhampton (9.4f) and Lingfield (1m2f) in January but he's found things tough back in handicaps in his last three runs; has something to prove again and his sole turf win was in May 2023. |
25/1 |

5th 2 (2) |
5th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won twice in January, including over 9.4f here, and he is back to a winning mark after three disappointing runs this spring; not a solid option. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Back to form with close third of six at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in May; however, only seventh of 16 at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) last time on ground he should have handled; can be slowly away; others preferred. |
33/1 |
|
7th 11 (5) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Failed to figure from the widest draw behind Respond at Chester (went well there previously) on reappearance but a close third of six when favourite at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) 11 days ago; with a good soft-ground record too, he could be a major player. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 1 (1) |
25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Ended his 2025 campaign with a half-length success in Class 2 event over C&D (good to firm) and is only 2lb higher back here; possibilities with Chester reappearance under his belt. |

19th Aug 2023 Good 1m 5f 11y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Six-race maiden but he ran his best race so far when finishing well out wide to go close here (11.6f, good to soft) two weeks ago; only 1lb higher than for that and he's open to more progress on step up to this trip; interesting contender. |

9th 8 (6) |
13th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Triple turf winner who is 1-19 on AW; perked up with a close call at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in December but he's not come close to that form in three subsequent runs; may have needed his Nottingham reappearance last month but his tactical speed will be tested back at this trip and others are more convincing. |
16/1 |
|
4th 5 (4) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Dual C&D winner who had a near-miss off this mark at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in December; didn't fire in his final two runs during the winter but has claims if he can rediscover his spark after a break. |
10/1 |
|
5th 4 (5) |
19th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
6lb below his last winning mark but recent form has been patchy, his narrow defeat at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) last month surrounded by lesser efforts at the same track; 1-18 on AW; others more compelling. |
6/1 |
