Close up when placed in two run-of-the-mill handicap hurdles this season (2m2f/2m) but he's 0-12 in this sphere now and his two Flat runs in September were disappointing; needs to raise his game. |

Best form this year has been over hurdles at Tramore; only Flat win was in 2023, and he needs to improve on recent efforts; strong trainer/rider combination. |

11st 3lb |
Two Sandown wins under David Dunsdon in 2025, including this race on good (other win on good to firm); back on form returned to turf and reunited with his owner/rider when seeing off seven rivals at Goodwood (1m, soft) eight weeks ago; raised 6lb but his good record in these races affords him plenty of respect. |

Two Sandown wins in 2025 at 1m and 1m2f (good and good to firm; acts on soft) under David Dunsdon; recent AW defeats can be glossed over and he's weighted to go well; one of the stronger options. |

Pretty consistent 4yo who was beaten under 1l when fourth (just behind United Front) in Racing League contest at Yarmouth (1m, good to soft) a fortnight ago; 1lb lower here and ought to be on the premises again. |

His only win (17 races) came in April 2023 at Windsor; can race freely and makes his first start in seven months; has raced on AW only twice and has the assistance of Oisin Murphy for the first time; difficult to gauge but any market move should be noted. |

Fair form over hurdles last season, running okay when fourth on handicap debut at Musselburgh (2m1f, good to soft) in March; subsequent Flat efforts nothing to get excited about but he arrrives fit for this hurdle reappearance and may have more to give in this sphere. |

Did well in 2024 and then had 592 days off the track; signs of a revival when seventh in the Northumberland Plate but his Kempton run (behind Maxident) was disappointing. |

Very solid record in 2024 on turf but 592 days off before this season; beaten a long way on his return (his only AW race) and not so far next time but he still has major work to do to turn things around. |

13th Sep 2024 Good 1m 6f 115y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Seen almost twice as often on the AW but had an impressive win on good to firm last August; did well over 2m on AW last winter, notably for an easy Kempton win, but he failed to fire in an AW Championships race next time and finished last in the Chester Cup in May latest; very mixed messages. |
40/1 |

10th May 2024 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Seen twice as often on the AW but had an impressive win on good to firm last August; does not always fire, for instance in AW Championships race at Newcastle on latest outing, but he looks good on his day and the ease of his 2m win on Kempton AW in February can't be forgotten (6lb higher today); this unusual test might just take his fancy. |

9st 8lb |
Eleven wins include one over C&D (soft; equally effective on good to firm) on yard debut in June; back up 6lb but has won off slightly higher marks on the AW and his latest Sandown third, where he kept persevering, suggests he should be on the premises again. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Career win number 11 when coming clear at Goodwood (1m6f, soft) on his debut for Tony Carroll; effective on faster ground and a 6lb rise might not stop him if he's turned a corner. |
