3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Quickly coaxed back to form by James Owen last year, winning 6f handicaps at Kempton (twice) and Chester; struggled on dirt in the Middle East over the winter but his mark dropped quickly and he ran well back on turf in Abu Dhabi in March; returned to Britain with an emphatic success at Leicester (6f, good to firm) eight days ago; today's 8lb higher mark should still be in range but the drop to 5f is a slight query. |

25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Had ups and downs since showing decent form earlier in career and was well treated when starting out for this trainer in 2025, winning three of his last four 6f starts on AW and turf; went down only narrowly back on turf (good to firm; headgear left off) in UAE during March and he's of interest now back with former yard. |

Made all when winning off a 6lb lower mark at York in the summer; has been some way below that level since, including when a beaten favourite here last time, but the step back up from 5f should suit. |

24th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Series of good runs on AW since returning from a gelding operation in November, going down by a short-head over 7f here ten days ago; stamina for 1m has to be taken on trust. |
7/2 |

14th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Sole win (ten races) was a 5f novice at Chester last July; has run creditably this winter on all three starts (7f/6f, Tapeta) since gelded but those results also suggest he will again prove vulnerable to an improver. |

5f winner at Chester last summer; back in top form when third at Southwell 11 days ago but he was no match for Blue Prince on that occasion and his old adversary is preferred despite the revised weights. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Just 1-20 on turf and below par at Lingfield (7f, good) last Tuesday, but prior to that he finished close-up twice in a row here (6f/7f, good to firm) and he can be bang there if leaving last time behind. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

30th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Prominent racer who won two 7f turf handicaps last summer; close second at Lingfield (7f) on his penultimate start but his form dipped when fifth of six behind Legal Reform on Boxing Day; a personal best will be required to take this. |

26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Front-running wins at Ascot and Chepstow this summer (both 7f, good to firm and good to soft); weak in the market and dropped away tamely at Newcastle five weeks ago; return to 7f and the redeployment of blinkers should give him a lift; considered. |
5/1 |

21st Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
6f 2yo winner who belatedly returned to winning ways in an Ascot 7f handicap (blinkered) and followed up without much fuss at Chepstow (no headgear), albeit having benefited from his track position; has to deal with a 7lb rise for that last win which could have been a shade flattering; cheekpieces now tried; has competitive form at 1m on the AW. |

Record over C&D reads 311, both wins coming after cheekpieces were applied; latest third of nine at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) was another good effort (runner-up has won since) and respected back here after a short break. |

17th Aug 2023 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Well beaten on nursery debut at Goodwood (6f, good to soft) two weeks ago and needs to be an entirely different proposition here; however, she won a Pontefract novice (6f, good to firm) two starts ago and the return to better ground could be in her favour; not discounted. |

4th Aug 2023 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Proved suited by the step up to 6f at Pontefract (good to firm) where she beat Whoop Whoop, with a subsequent Group 3 winner in third; could well progress further and make her mark in nurseries; shortlisted. |

25th Jun 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Stayed on well for a close fourth at Thirsk on last month's debut (5f, good); unable to justify favouritism at Carlisle 24 days ago, outpaced in the straight but keeping on well, only to be collared by an even faster finisher; improvement required but her dam was a 1m4f winner and today's extra furlong looks sure to suit. |

Went down narrowly in a 6f maiden at Kempton two weeks ago (cheekpieces for the first time), taking her record to 0-9; still sets a good standard for her rivals to aim at though and she's a strong contender once more. |
