4th Mar 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Two creditable shows in midwinter, including over C&D, but his sole win was back in 2023 and he ran no sort of race on this track in January; needs to shrug that off. |

8th 9 (4) |
14th Jan 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |

It's now 19 outings since his last victory but he wasn't discredited when fourth of ten in 1m Southwell handicap 11 days ago; possibilities. |

8th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Took him a long time to get off the mark, but has utilised forcing tactics to good effect over C&D this year (1241); 5lb higher than for his latest success, though, and he doesn't have a great draw. |
4/1 |
|
1st 4 (5) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Came good at the 26th attempt over C&D in February when making all; has ran well twice since over C&D when in the money and a danger to all if he can grab an early lead in returning cheekpieces. |
9/4 |
|
4th 6 (9) |
23rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Disappointing at Southwell (6f) last time but he went close over C&D on his penultimate run and that was after an emphatic front-running success at this track; drawn out wide on this step back up in trip but has possibilities if he can bounce back. |

16th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Placed on AW in three of his six 2yo starts for Michael Bell; sold for 3,000gns in May and subsequently gelded; has been absent for a year, so the betting should be instructive. |
25/1 |
|
3rd 5 (6) |
13th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Placed over 6f at maiden/novice level on AW; has failed to transfer that form to two nurseries (7f/6f), latest at Wolverhampton last week; something to prove off same mark. |
14/1 |
|
8th 7 (6) |
7th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |

23rd Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Won a classified race at Lingfield (7f, AW) last summer; short of her best in three runs this winter though and she needs a full revival. |
25/1 |
|
8th 1 (9) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Not as her best in handicaps lately, but she was successful the last time she raced at this level at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) in August; has run well over C&D and a player; stable also runs Embarked. |
6/1 |
|
7th 6 (2) |
27th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Dual 7f winner on the AW but a modest strike-rate overall and last win was in a classified race; could still run well off a realistic mark. |

7th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

3rd Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Just one win to his name from 21 starts; chance on this summer's best efforts but his last two runs have been over 1m1f and 1m2f and he now drops to sprinting; others are safer. |

13th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Two minor wins on the AW over 7f; the form of her Yarmouth third has worked out well (7f, good) and her Kempton effort was too bad to be taken seriously; commands respect on that penultimate effort. |
20/1 |
|
9th 5 (6) |
29th May 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Won twice in maiden/novice company last summer, including over C&D; improved effort when third of ten behind Shin Jidai on her Yarmouth reappearance (7f, good) four weeks ago, form that has been boosted by the subsequent wins of the second, fourth and sixth; 2lb turnaround in the weights perhaps not enough to reverse the placings. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 6 (6) |
30th Apr 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Limitations exposed after two AW victories (successful siblings also did their winning on the AW) last summer, albeit things didn't pan out her way on her handicap debut (Tapeta) latterly; needs more back from eight months off. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Best form at 7f on good/firmer; completed a hat-trick last summer and ran creditably in big field at Newmarket in the first of his two starts this term; chance may depend on the actions of the weather, however. |
8/1 |
|
10th 5 (12) |
6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 3 |

Best form at 7f on good/firmer; completed a hat-trick last summer and could be set for further success this term, having performed encouragingly (third of 18) at Newmarket on reappearance; one to consider. |

9st 5lb |
Placed twice since dropped back to 1m last month, more recently when very close third (just behind The Sweet Escape) at Leicester (1m, good to firm) nine days ago; competes off same mark here; big player if new cheekpieces have any positive effect. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 1 (10) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Without a win since 2024 but he got right back on track when second of ten in 1m Ripon handicap two weeks ago; up 2lb but well in the mix. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 9 (7) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Last turf win was here (1m2f, good to soft; from 6lb higher) in June 2024; fair third at Wolverhampton (8.5f; 10-1) on penultimate start but took a backward step at Doncaster (1m2f) subsequently; easing mark isn't enough to tempt. |

18th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Showed some promise in her first two starts as a 2yo including over C&D, but she has gone the wrong way since and is now 0-12; stable's cracking recent form is one area for optimism; hood given a go this time. |
16/1 |

8th 9 (5) |
24th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Hasn't been finding much in 7f starts this year but two of her best efforts came on this track at two and it's possible the return here will see something more from her. |
