11st 2lb |
0-12 on the Flat (placed seven times) for Karl Burke last year and for Alice Haynes in 2023; blinkered on latest three starts and disappointing, overall; joined good yard for hurdling and Sean Bowen rides but bit to prove. |

Campaigned at Wolverhampton (AW) for new stable this year; largely consistent but is fairly exposed now and still a maiden (0-10); others preferred. |

C&D winner; comes here on the back of two good course runs over 1m4f but defying the widest stall over this C&D could be an insurmountable challenge. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
All of his four wins have been at 6f on turf and last three were in 2024; well handicapped on old form but he was out of sorts in the autumn and has something to prove back up in trip for new yard (changed hands for 1,500gns). |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Three 6f wins last autumn, two of them on heavy ground; lightly raced this year but unable to threaten on soft going on his two outings last month and he needs to raise his game. |
14/1 |

6 (7) |
30th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Mudlark; won three times over 6f last year on going ranging from good to soft to heavy; not quite as his best in three runs this season (bled from the nose last time) but could bounce back with a hood tried (can race keenly). |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 16y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Stayed on for very respectable fourth at Hereford (2m3f, good) this month, his second run in a visor, but is yet to be placed after 11 hurdling starts and needs to find something extra today. |
13/2 |

7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |

21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Didn't run badly when fifth on heavy ground at Taunton (2m3f) last week but he's 0-9 over hurdles now and needs to be perked up by a change of headgear today. |

10th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Gelded after three quiet runs in novice events and was only 4-1 for his handicap debut at Goodwood in May when the ground was heavy (tailed off); better was presumably expected of him and interesting to see if his backers return. |
11/1 |

10th 8 (6) |
6th May 2023 Good To Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Out of the money in three juvenile runs (gelded since) but he's in good hands and looks likely to improve now handicapping over a new trip; shortlisted. |
6/1 |

16th Nov 2022 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Showed some ability in finishing seventh at Salisbury (7f) and Haydock (1m); started 17-2 and 10-1; it's possible he's capable of better. |

Just 2-31 but had dropped in the weights and undergone wind surgery before finishing a creditable third of ten at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) in December; each-way claims if backing it up. |

He's been disappointing since July and has undergone wind surgery since finishing seventh here (1m2f) last month; drops in trip/grade and a market check looks prudent. |

31st Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
4lb lower than when winning at Wolverhampton last November; 2025 has been a struggle but he's eligible for this lowly level as a result and today is the first time he hasn't been apprentice-ridden in over two years; risky but not impossible. |

Decent record over C&D (13022; all in 2023) but has become very hard to predict; given a seven-week break since a poor effort at Chepstow and others are more reliable. |
