Posted two good performances on AW in 2023 and is still fairly unexposed in this sphere; seemed to need the run last month on return from long absence; heed the market signals. |

The winner of one of his nine starts for Ed Walker, namely a 1m4f Polytrack handicap in August 2023; sold for 42,000gns in October 2023 and finished second of five at Chelmsford on debut for the Horse Watchers (1m6f); absent for 720 days and has now joined Rebecca Menzies; low mileage and the betting should be revealing. |

0-7 on turf but was placed on only previous visit to Bath and returned from long absence with very respectable 1m2f AW run in February; probably better suited by this sort of trip nowadays; interesting. |

Won off today's mark at Kempton (1m4f) in autumn 2023 but that may be his optimum trip nowadays and he has fitness to prove after a 424-day absence. |

Has a much better strike-rate on AW than on grass; soundly beaten off his lower turf mark returned to this sphere last time; opposed. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won a four-runner race at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) as a 3yo, but all five wins since have come on the AW; rated 9lb lower on grass but still hard to warm to on a rare turf appearance. |

Often makes the running but came from towards rear under Harry Vigors to win a six-runner race at Wolverhampton (1m6f) on latest outing; that broke a long losing run but he's usually competitive and has won over C&D; player. |

12st 0lb |
Was going okay when whacking the third last at Southwell (2m, good; beaten 15l) in June, a race he won the previous year off 11lb lower; he does look a shade high in the weights but can run well. |

9th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

Won this race by 13l a year ago and was still in good form when last seen last summer/autumn; has fitness to prove after eight-month absence, though, and current mark probably demands a career-best performance. |

5th Oct 2023 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Made the frame over 1m4f on his last two turf starts and has become well handicapped, but he's no longer the force of old and was never involved over C&D last time; returns from a short break but his last Flat win was over two years ago and others are preferred. |

Back in better form the last twice, finishing fourth at Doncaster then third at Epsom, both over 1m4f; 0-6 on AW but returns to this sphere off a handy mark; not dismissed. |

1m4f turf and 2m hurdle winner; same mark as when second in a small-field 2m event at Lingfield (Polytrack) last month; returns to this code after defeat over hurdles latest but she has the form to be very competitive back down in trip. |

15th Feb 2024 Standard 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Hold-up performer with a poor strike-rate; close fifth at Kempton (2m) last time in a race that wasn't run to suit and the prospect of another steady pace reduces his appeal. |
7/2 |

5th 1 (10) |
27th Jan 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Hold-up performer who is hard to win with (4-44) and needs everything to fall right, which didn't happen when a never-dangerous third at Southwell last month; capable but not without risk. |

Having dropped down the weights he returned to form with a neck second at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) three weeks ago; has also run well on Polytrack; can be in the mix back up 3lb if producing another good run. |

Triple winner here, including over C&D when 3lb lower in March; unseated rider when stumbling leaving the stalls here on his return from a break latest; back again after more than three weeks off but hasn't won when fresh since 2019. |

Successful in 2m contest here when last seen 170 days ago, showing that he retains plenty of ability aged 11; drop back to 1m4f looks a negative, with last five wins at 1m5f+. |
