22nd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Nowhere near as good as he was and last win was in June 2023; on much reduced mark and has run some decent races this year but he didn't get very far here (unseated at start) last time and all of his wins have been at 6f; down the list. |

16th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Nowhere near as good as he was and although not disgraced on a few occasions on turf/Polytrack this year, more is needed in order to win despite dropping into a 0-55 for the first time; visor returns. |
8/1 |

2nd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
A lot of water has flowed under the bridge since winning a Group 3 on the AW as a 2yo; not disgraced on a few occasions on turf/Polytrack (with and without headgear) this year, but a bit more is needed in order to win. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |

Not the force of old but he ran creditably when second to Alshimali over C&D ten weeks ago; wouldn't be sure to build on it. |

8th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual AW winner who is 1-19 on turf; now 10lb lower than for his Kempton win (6f, Polytrack) last March but he's been well held in last six runs and others are preferred; cheekpieces back on. |

7th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner in 2022; ran away with a 6f Chelmsford race in July off just 2lb lower, which stands out this season but he has place claims on other 2023 evidence nevertheless. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 1 (7) |
14th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Ran away with a C&D handicap in July off just 3lb lower; two good efforts on Tapeta in successive days in early August; below par here last time but he can't be discounted. |

7th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Looks competitively weighted, having won off this mark at Ripon in July; however, form has dipped since August and failed to beat a rival last time; hard to support with confidence. |
20/1 |

28th Sep 2024 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Both wins at 5f, the latest here in July off 1lb lower; saddle slipped last time so that run can be ignored but her previous course flop also needs excusing; down in class but she has more to prove back at 6f. |

31st Aug 2023 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-11 but placed a few times, including when third of ten over C&D last time (just behind Universal Grace); down another 1lb, but she is a hold-up horse and those tactics aren't easy to execute over the minimum trip here. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 4 (3) |
15th Aug 2023 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has not gone on from a useful 6f effort on Lingfield AW in December but down weights and the return to Polytrack could suit after getting quite badly hampered over 5f at Yarmouth in July; not dismissed. |
6/1 |
|
5 (3) |
19th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 6 |

Nine-race maiden who was safely held over C&D when dropped back in trip 19 days ago; hood removed after one use; needs to up her game. |

11th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Sole win over 6f as 3yo; stays 7f but his form seesaws and he didn't do enough when upped to 1m at Southwell recently to fancy for this much longer trip. |
20/1 |
|
7th 2 (3) |
30th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win over 6f at Windsor last summer; in and out of form since and this year's efforts have been poor (without and with headgear; none today); hard to enthuse on first 1m attempt. |
25/1 |
|
12th 7 (8) |
17th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Won a 6f Windsor handicap in June 2023 (good to firm); patchy form since and well below form on his only completed start this term; pulled up (jockey thought something was amiss) on latest start; others appeal more. |
25/1 |
