26th Aug 2022 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Sharp improver this year, winning five times and climbing the weights by 34lb; last two wins were over 1m on good to firm at Brighton under Stefano Cherchi, last time travelling up smoothly to lead 2f out and then having to battle; raised 5lb since but very hard to say he can't improve again; unraced on softer than good. |

Five-time winner on AW at Wolverhampton but 0-16 on turf; handicapper's giving him a chance and, while recent efforts don't suggest he'll take it, he did run well both previous visits here. |

Five-time course winner (7f-1m); out of form in sprint handicaps since returning from break in June (four runs) but will appreciate today's drop in grade, and this trip ought to be much more suitable. |

29th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
In the veteran stage now but the old man's been giving younger legs plenty of trouble this year, dead-heating at Lingfield (7f, AW) in February and placed on another five occasions; still in good heart judged on latest second at Bath (1m, firm) and this dual C&D winner can go well again. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 5 (7) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Eight career wins divided between AW and turf, and he's won from 5f to 1m; returns to turf on the back of a string of pleasing AW runs and no reason why he won't have a say; races prominently. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 2 (5) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
In good form over 7f of late, recording win number eight at Lingfield two starts ago (dead-heat); has the assistance of Oisin Murphy, but 1m around here just stretches him. |

4th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Recorded the 18th win of his long career when leading late over C&D in February (for Myla Coppins); ran well behind a thriving rival at Lingfield next time but he failed to fire over C&D a fortnight ago (finished behind Coloane); he has bounced back from quiet runs before so can't be ruled out. |
6/1 |
|
8th 7 (7) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
18th success of his long career when getting the better of Antiquity (winner since and runs in the 6.00) over C&D last month; bumped into an in-form opponent at Lingfield two weeks ago (7f; blinkered first time); another 2lb rise is not ideal but he is likely to give his running. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well into the veteran stage but he retains plenty of enthusiasm and ran on well to beat a subsequent winner (Age Of Time third) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) three weeks ago, his 18th success; a 2lb rise not excessive but late in the day to be giving blinkers a go (has run well in new headgear before). |

27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Normally starts slowly; goes well fresh so would like to have seen more on reappearance at Bath and didn't fare much better there four weeks ago; fourth is the best he's managed on AW; passed over. |
20/1 |
|
5th 1 (1) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
He made a winning reappearance here in 2024 and 2025 so it's disconcerting he was well beaten on his comeback here 24 days ago, and he could do with breaking sharper; however, it's possible he needed the run this time and, having won three times last year, he's entitled to respect. |
7/1 |
|
9th 2 (1) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Two of his eight wins have been over C&D and they were first time out in April 2024 and April 2025; two wins last summer ensure that he remains much higher in the weights but that reappearance record here is striking. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Has plenty of form over C&D including two wins; losing run up to 18, but he has never raced down at this level before so can't be dismissed by any means; stable also runs Sorted. |
5/1 |
|
6th 2 (4) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |

Has done all his winning at about 1m, including four times at Bath; has bits of 1m2f form but doesn't look the percentage call; losing run is mounting up. |
8/1 |

5th 6 (2) |
4th May 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Four C&D wins on good or slower (handles good to firm, not at best in one run on firm); not at his best this year but that is reflected in his much-reduced mark; risky but not impossible. |

9st 6lb |
11-time winner, most recently from off the pace over C&D last month; not in same form on either 8.6f start at Wolverhampton since, though, and might still be a shade too high in the weights. |
12/1 |
|
6th 5 (2) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Came from off the pace (in refitted blinkers) to run down Von Krolock in a 7f apprentices' handicap at Southwell (10-1) on penultimate start; only eighth (King Of Speed fourth) over C&D subsequently; 4lb higher now, with a different claiming rider booked. |
11/2 |

8th 12 (12) |
17th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Successful in 0-55 apprentice event under Myla Coppins at Southwell (7f) last week, taking AW record to 6-45; this is a slightly better race but he escapes a penalty; dual C&D scorer; respected. |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
All three wins at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta), though he has been placed three times from eight starts over this C&D; a losing run of 38 isn't ideal, though; blinkers return. |
40/1 |
|
5th 7 (11) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All wins have come over 6f here, though he has gone close over this trip at Southwell; fair fourth of nine here (6f) a fortnight ago, but a record of 3-82 does suggest a degree of caution. |
