Off the mark in a small-field handicap at Kempton in March; better form in 1m handicaps at Newmarket and Haydock in May but his form dipped back at Haydock in June latest; drawn widest. |

14th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Made a winning return at Kempton (1m, AW) in March and two good efforts on turf in May, including when fourth of 11 in a warm handicap at Haydock (1m, good to firm); was behind Metal Merchant then, but may have been unlucky not to finish second; not so good back there a fortnight later (behind Good Gracious), but a player if bouncing back; stable won this in 2016 and 2019. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Three-time turf winner who won two in a row at Wolverhampton (8.6f/7f, AW) in March and is 1lb below his last winning mark; he ran okay on his final few starts for the Newland/Insole yard but this 8yo needs something extra on today's stable debut, following 8,500gns sale. |

2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Dual course winner who scored twice at Wolverhampton (8.6f/7f) in March; hasn't threatened in his last four runs but he was respectable fifth over C&D on Monday; this is a quick turnaround but his last win was off this mark and he could be dangerous if he gets the breaks; cheekpieces reapplied. |

Ended his losing run at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in March and he did well to follow up over 7f one week later; not quite so good since but he has the ability to go well off this mark; headgear tried last time is now quickly dispensed with. |

Ready winner of a Class 4 fillies' handicap at Beverley last month (8.5f, good to soft), her second run for Karl Burke; less good on soft last time; others are more appealing. |

Mostly consistent in handicaps without winning one for previous yard; well held on debut for this one but she won quite takingly at Beverley (1m, good to soft) 14 days ago, albeit at a lesser level; up 4lb to career-high mark and this will test her new-found improvement. |

All five wins at 7f, on AW and turf, but he couldn't raise his game when well held off just 1lb higher in a similar C&D handicap (good) in October and this again looks a step too far. |
