9st 9lb |
No turf win since August 2019; won three times on the AW (2m) last year, but it's difficult to draw a great deal of confidence from either of his two efforts since returning to action; look elsewhere. |

16th Dec 2023 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won two of his three most recent course starts, over 1m6f in May and June, and went very close off this mark at Newcastle (2m) in July; can come on for his recent return to action at Southwell; major role likely. |
6/1 |

Seen mostly on Tapeta and has more to prove on Polytrack, as shown by latest start; 1m6f wins at Wolverhampton this May and June, with a close call at Newcastle on penultimate start, but there's a bit more for him to prove with the 105-day absence. |

1m6f course winner; not quite at his best here last time, having raced freely when second over C&D prior to that; a similar effort to that penultimate start would give him claims. |

5th 3 (9) |
6th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has a good record here and was third in this last year; won here (1m6f, good to soft) this May and runner-up over today's C&D (soft) last time; seems versatile ground-wise; could play a leading role. |

29th Jul 2023 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Lightly raced 5yo who has done really well for his new yard this year, with wins at Wetherby (1m5f) and Redcar (1m6f) last month followed by a close second in his hat-trick bid at Wolverhampton (2m, Tapeta); only 1lb higher than for that last run and he's open to more progress in staying handicaps; big player. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 3 (7) |
19th Jul 2023 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |

Low-mileage 5yo who made light of a 16-month absence when making a winning start for this stable in 1m5f Wetherby handicap in June; followed up when favourite at Redcar (1m6f; gamely from the front) 18 days later; up another 4lb, new trip and has a bit to prove on AW form but he's on a roll and highly respected. |

No longer the force of old and he made it 0-7 for current yard when a well-held seventh at Nottingham (1m6f, good) last time; mark continues to fall but others are preferred. |

8th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |

No longer the force of old and 0-6 for current stable but took step back in right direction when keeping-on fourth (just behind Marbuzet) at Redcar (1m6f, good) last month and has possibilities here if able to build on that performance. |

Started this year with a win at Southwell (2m, AW) in January but she's generally struggled since and was beaten a long way at Newcastle last time; now back below her last winning mark but she needs a major revival. |

Kickstarted 2023 with a win at Southwell (2m, AW) in January; struggled in her next three starts but she ran well at Musselburgh in May and wasn't beaten far at Redcar last time; now back on last winning mark and she's not ruled out on this return to Tapeta. |

All four wins have come on Tapeta at Wolverhampton (1m4f-1m6f); now 8lb lower than for last success but he missed last year and has been well held in three runs for new yard this season; this step back up to 2m is no problem but he needs to get back on track; another change of headgear. |
20/1 |

19th Jun 2023 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |

Boasts four wins at this track (three over 1m4f, the other at 1m6f) but has shown very little since moving yards; replacing cheekpieces with a visor could work but others are preferred. |

6th 3 (6) |
2nd May 2023 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |

Has won four handicaps on the AW at Wolverhampton (three over 1m4f, the other at 1m6f); well beaten after a long break on stable debut/reappearance; cheekpieces tried (has worn a visor); best watched for now. |
