Capable of running well but he's not as good as he was and is becoming hard to predict. |

21st Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

Not as good now but is straightforward and arrives in form, having made a lot of the running off this mark at Newcastle last time; holds claims on that. |

3rd 5 (8) |
28th Jun 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Dual AW winner who went back-to-back on turf last spring and wasn't far away in two sprints before a lesser show at Thirsk last time; has a big run in him. |

12th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Poor strike-rate but one of his two successes came over C&D; creditable effort in a Ripon handicap (6f, good to soft) two weeks ago and a 2lb drop makes him eligible for this grade for the first time; looks highly likely to run a big race. |
9/2 |

5 (10) |
29th May 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Infrequent winner but he was third in this race in 2022 on his only other Ripon appearance; not found his best form in two runs this spring but he's on a dangerous mark and a change of headgear could help (has won in visor). |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
All five wins have been on turf, the last three over this trip; only 2lb higher than for his latest success (June 2025) and he reappeared with a promising effort over 6f at Leicester (good to firm) last month; looks interesting on this step back up in trip and he's versatile ground-wise. |
10/1 |
|
5th 9 (9) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Five turf wins at 6f-7f, the latest two over the latter trip on this track; he's had some excuses for low-key reappearances in the past but it's still a stretch to expect him to be on song for this one. |
8/1 |

8th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Multiple 6f-7f winner, including on soft; latest success came in classified company at Leicester (7f, good to firm) in June; best effort in handicaps since was back there on his penultimate start; should be thereabouts. |

3rd Jun 2023 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
This half-sister to Winter Power let favourite backers down when a well-held fourth of six fitted with blinkers at Nottingham (6f, heavy) 22 days ago, but prior to that she'd finished an encouraging fourth over C&D (soft) and that form worked out; fine on a quicker surface; given another chance with the headgear quickly discarded. |

11th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Nine-time winner; yet to find his best form in three runs for his new yard but last time was more encouraging and this represents a drop in grade; revival not out of the question. |
9/2 |

4th 8 (6) |
28th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Arrives out of sorts, tried without headgear when only seventh of ten in 6f Hamilton handicap eight days ago; others appeal more. |

20th Jul 2023 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Very well treated on form as recent as last July but this 9yo struggled this season on his three runs for Lisa Williamson and it was the same story at Carlisle 12 days ago on his first start for Adrian Nicholls. |
