10th Dec 2024 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Knows how to win as he showed when successful from four rivals at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) last month, but he was allowed to dictate there and didn't back it up at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) a week ago (has won over that C&D); needs to bounce back. |

3rd Dec 2024 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Recorded his sixth win when making all to justify favouritism off reduced mark at Wolverhampton (1m6f) 18 days ago; this is a deeper race but he's only 2lb higher than last time and has won over C&D in the past; could be a major force again. |

17th Oct 2023 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Came good at 11th attempt, scoring in good style at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) last month, and ran at least as well when clear second on soft ground at Haydock a fortnight later; must be considered in current mood. |
3/1 |

2nd 4 (5) |
29th Sep 2023 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
His breakthrough win at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) had been coming and it was quite comfortable in the end; 3lb rise is fine but softer ground might not be, having disappointed on good to soft and twice withdrawn due to similar conditions. |

8th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Sole Flat win in 30 attempts came this September in a 1m4f soft-ground handicap at Thirsk; that was a Class 6, however, and he's unlikely to be good enough. |
25/1 |

5th 9 (3) |
12th Oct 2023 Heavy 1m 5f 26y Class 6 |

took keen hold, prominent, pressed leader over 2f out, weakened quickly over 1f out |
14/1 |
|
3rd 6 (3) |
29th Sep 2023 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Belatedly off the mark with a wide-margin win at Thirsk (1m4f, soft) in the hands of William Pyle; ran a bit flat when only fourth at Hamilton after escaping a penalty and now he's 5lb higher; that Thirsk win might be dodgy form. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
A fair 2m2f hurdles winner at his best but he ended his time with Gary and Josh Moore out of sorts before Christmas; pulled up on his yard debut over C&D recently and tongue-tie is added here. |
50/1 |
|

6th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Hurdle winner in 2022 whose latest success came in a classified event (1m2f) last August when with the Moores; minor hurdle form in the autumn and up against it for new yard after a break. |
20/1 |

20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Won basement-grade Flat race this summer and returned to hurdling with very respectable fourth on handicap debut at Fontwell (2m1f, good) last month; still unexposed over hurdles after only two attempts and has possibilities here; first ride over jumps for 10lb claimer Ben Pollard (three Flat wins). |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Five-time winner on turf, but losing run now up to 21; makes his debut for another new yard after seven months off and the market should indicate what is expected. |
11/1 |
