22nd Apr 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Beaten 11 times since his last win in August 2023 but he's dropped down the weights and was a fair fourth at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) three weeks ago on his first run since wind surgery; could be in the mix. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Gained his seventh success when winning at Ayr (1m, good to firm) in July and ran another solid race there last month off the same mark as today's; respected but he is yet to win off a mark this high. |

Kept on well for a seventh career success over C&D 19 days ago but he's gone back up 5lb and has never won anything better than a Class 5; others preferred. |

9st 9lb |
In good form in the spring, winning at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) before near misses at Thirsk and over C&D; not at his best on his last two starts but this is an ease in class and he's a major player in his bid to win this race for a second time (successful in 2024). |

28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Only 3-31 but won comfortably over C&D (good) earlier this month with a first-time eyeshield joining reapplied blinkers and that was from the same stall as today; back up 7lb but has coped with this mark in the past. |

4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |

Both wins at around 1m when trained by Ed Bethell; his losing run is mounting up and a first-time eye-shield is now applied along with returning blinkers; now on a career-low mark but doesn't look ready to take advantage. |

31st Jul 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Likely player on his best RPRs, which have been achieved over 7f, 1m and 11.5f; however, he's comparatively exposed (now 0-6) and not particularly solid on 2023 evidence; cheekpieces added back down in distance. |

Runner-up at Yarmouth (7f) and Newbury (1m) last October, before tailed off on reappearance in his only handicap; back to form when tongue tied in maiden at Yarmouth (11.4f, good to firm) 15 days ago and this drop back in trip may well help, but marked overall improvement is needed. |

Last four wins over 1m at Pontefract but he has placed on all three course visits and he arrives on the back of a respectable fourth at Redcar (1m, good) last weekend; has won on good to soft; enters calculations. |

0-9 over hurdles; not disgraced when fifth of 11 off his lowly handicap mark here (2m2f, good) last month but a minor role is probably his best hope on these terms. |

Sole win came at Chelmsford (6f, Polytrack) a year ago, though she seemed to stay when fourth of 11 back there (1m) ten days ago; this even longer trip asks another question of her, though, as does the outside stall. |

Signed off in Ireland with 1m2f AW maiden win in March, his seventh start, but well beaten in two turf handicaps for new stable this summer (1m2f/1m); might be aided by refitted cheekpieces today but has quite a bit to prove. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
More wins this year, two over hurdles and two on the Flat (about 1m4f, good), but perhaps found out by a career-high mark at Ascot and Lingfield (back at 1m6f, good to firm) since; probably has work to do again. |

Has won six races on the Flat at up to 1m6f and this year is going particularly well, with two hurdle wins and now two over about 1m4f on Flat (on good ground at Salisbury and Chester); raised 4lb to career-high mark but should be fine back on good to firm and he's never been better. |

Beaten a neck on her debut in a 15-runner Redcar novice (6f, good to firm) last August and had little trouble in going one better in a Catterick maiden (6f, good to soft) the following month; shouldn't have a problem with the extra furlong on handicap debut after nine months off and remains open to further improvement. |
