Won a 2m Goodwood handicap in June (good) when wearing cheekpieces for the second time; hasn't run quite as well since (beaten 47l at Goodwood last time); down in grade and visor on again (no obvious improvement last time he wore one); chance. |

10st 1lb |
Good efforts in just two 1m2f handicaps for this stable, doing well against a progressive one at Newmarket (good; has won on soft) then things didn't go his way after another slow start at Doncaster in August; the return to a stiff finish can suit; has every chance. |

17th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won novice races at Lingfield (1m, AW) and Nottingham (1m2f, soft) for James Fanshawe; yet to win a handicap but ran well when second at Newmarket (1m2f, good; cheekpieces on for first time) two runs back to one who was completing a hat-trick; headgear retained; chance on that form. |

Inconsistent but returned to form in first-time cheekpieces (retained) when runner-up at Newmarket (1m2f, good) a fortnight ago; has run well over an extended 1m4f in the past and he's one to consider; tongue-tie added. |

11st 4lb |
Useful on the Flat at his best and made the frame in two maiden hurdles in April 2025 (both 2m, good); this is his first run since and he doesn't set a daunting form standard but, nevertheless, he's a big player. |

Four-time Flat winner and quite useful, so his second in a modest maiden hurdle at Plumpton was rather underwhelming (2m, good); could build on that but needs to. |

13th Oct 2023 Good 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
First run on turf when winning by a head at Chester (1m6f, good to soft) last month and he followed up at Haydock (1m6f, soft) two weeks ago with a strong-staying performance after trouble in running; 6lb rise demands further improvement but he's heading the right way. |

29th Sep 2023 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Nicely progressive on the AW and showed a good attitude to make a successful debut on turf over 1m6f at Chester (good to soft); 2lb rise is here nor there but this company is more challenging. |

16th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 6f 87y Class 4 |

Only raced on the AW so far, winning a Lingfield maiden (1m2f) in March and having been of for six months, finishing fourth of nine on handicap debut at Kempton (1m3f) 17 days ago; bred to stay well so worth a second look now switched to grass. |

11th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Form dipped at Wolverhampton three weeks ago but he is normally consistent on AW and could well rebound; back on career-low mark and holds a good chance if taking well to new headgear (tongue-tie and blinkers replace hood/cheekpieces). |

22nd Dec 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |

0-9 since his novice win here (8.6f) last September but he's reached the frame in last three runs and was beaten less than 2l behind See You Boy at Lingfield (7f) last week; hasn't had much luck with the draw again but he shouldn't be far away. |

Won 2m Stratford maiden (good to firm) in July; not obviously ahead of his mark in handicaps since but has done enough to think he can be involved back on a less testing track than at Exeter last time; not far away. |

Stratford maiden winner who was returning from wind surgery when a staying-on second at Ludlow (2m handicap, good); flattered get to 2l behind Brendas Asking who runs in the 3.00, but he was clear of the rest; today's stiffer track promises to suit. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Didn't set the world alight in his three handicap hurdles (won his two previous hurdle starts); those handicaps were at up to 2m1f and he's much more of a stayer on the Flat, but his two Flat runs at Chester (where he won last season) this term were disappointing; tongue tied first time. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Soundly beaten in last month's Chester Plate (2m2f) but this race is easier and he's now only 1lb higher than when winning over C&D (good to firm) last summer; versatile regarding ground; contender if back on song. |
12/1 |

13th 13 (7) |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
His only appearance at Chester was a successful one in eight-runner handicap last August (2m, good to firm) off 3lb lower than today, in a manner that was encouraging for this test; absent since a lesser show in September but scored in 2024 after a 113-day layoff and needs a close look. |
