15th Jul 2023 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Impressed in novice events (1m/1m2f, AW/good) on first two starts and bounced back from two disappointing runs (1m2f, soft/good to firm) when easily making all at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) a fortnight ago; capitalised on an easy lead last time but this very lightly raced 4yo could have more to offer now things have clicked again, and he's ahead of the handicapper under a 5lb penalty. |

16th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Impressed in novice events on first two starts, latterly over 1m2f on good at Epsom last September; however, well beaten in Listed race at Newmarket (1m2f, soft) in October and tenth of 13 in handicap at York (1m2f, good to firm) four weeks ago; he was favourite in the latter, following wind surgery and with his tongue tied, but weakened in the final 2f; questions to answer. |

Five-time winner on the Flat in Britain; 0-11 hurdling for this yard, best effort yet when runner-up in a claimer at Clonmel in February; leading when slipped up going to three out at the same venue nine weeks ago; not ruled out. |

17th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |

Record of 0-4 this term for new yard but was placed under Shay Halton at Ripon on penultimate start and latest race didn't pan out favourably; has slipped to an attractive mark. |

4th Sep 2025 Good 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Has dropped 11lb below his last winning mark but that was from August 2023; third at Ripon ten days ago was his best result this term but he needs much better than that form if he's to turn the tables on Spartan Times. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 190y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Has dropped 11lb below his last winning mark, but his abbreviated career since the start of last year (including two starts for this yard) suggests he hasn't been easy to train; needs the switch to a visor to help him get back on track. |

Got up late on in this race (soft) last year off 1lb lower; 301-day absence is a concern but he needs a second look. |

23rd Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 5f 26y Class 3 |

Peak efforts this term have been at around 1m4f, including Ripon win in July and fourth at the York Ebor meeting, but he won over 1m6f in 2021; shaped okay in the 1m6f Old Borough Cup at Haydock last time considering the trouble in running over 2f out; major player. |

10yo with a 9-57 record on turf compared to 0-9 (three seconds) on AW; still a force on turf last season (won off 5lb higher) and 2025 reappearance was okay but he took a backward step at Ripon next time. |

Last win was at Doncaster (1m2f) in June 2023 but that was off 4lb higher; mixed record in just four runs this season but he ran respectably at Doncaster last time and could be in the mix if he can build on that. |
