Garnered his third success of 2023 in 1m2f Chelmsford selling handicap 11 days ago; up 4lb but he's not taken lightly in his current mood. |

1m1f winner on soft ground in July; ran to a similar level when fifth of 13 over C&D on Saturday, his first attempt at this distance; Ben Curtis takes over from a 7lb claimer and he's not ruled out. |

11st 5lb |
Dual C&D winner, including in March off a mark 1lb lower than today; respectable fifth of ten here two weeks ago when he was held up off a steady pace and raced wide on the turn for home; respected. |

7th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won over C&D in March and had to wait for a clear run when fourth here (1m2f) the following month; tailed off at Newbury in June but the suitability of turf is questionable nowadays and he could bounce back on this return to AW. |

9st 8lb |
13-race maiden; big chance on his Irish best but he was short of that level in three runs for Darryll Holland and again on his stable debut 17 days ago; new, longer trip needs to have a positive effect. |

Often in the frame, including on the Dundalk Polytrack, but now 0-12; makes his debut for another new stable (same owner) with a hood now given a go; needs something extra. |

C&D win last December; off the mark for the year when winning a Yarmouth handicap (11.5f, soft) in good style in October; ran well over 1m2f here four weeks ago, carried right by the errant winner, and he's capable of another prominent showing. |

Two 1m turf wins for previous trainer in the summer but no strong signs since, for that yard or current one, that he was about to break his AW duck; ran respectably in blinkers in 2021, first-time cheekpieces today. |

1st Nov 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

Two 1m wins on soft this summer; not discredited in midfield at Chelmsford (didn't get a clear run) this month and contested a voided race 13 days ago; changed hands for 6,000gns at the sales last week; considered but he's made far less of an impact on AW than turf. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
A fair 1m4f scorer for James Owen last March but below par for his current stable, a never-dangerous fourth of seven on his return in 1m1f Musselburgh handicap 34 days ago; needs to take a big step forward. |

Respectable fifth on AW last June on his first start for Alison Hamilton but lost his way badly in three subsequent outings; back from six months off and a leap of faith is needed. |

30th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Four-time AW winner; ran okay when fifth of 12 over this C&D in June but he failed to beat a rival home at Hamilton (1m5f, good; beaten 24l) 75 days ago; switches back to AW and drops in trip having been off since. |

Won twice on turf last season and he has run some good races in defeat this time around; last couple of efforts need forgiving; dropping into a 0-60 should help but he still has something to prove on AW. |

5th Oct 2023 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Won twice on turf last season and he has run some good races in defeat this time around; he wasn't at his best at Nottingham nine days ago but this is a more realistic assignment; no reason why he won't be fully effective on AW in time. |
