30th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Not straightforward and was tailed off after missing the break at Ffos Las last month but he won by 4l there (6f, heavy) on his penultimate start; has claims if he can recapture that form and he has won off a higher mark in the past. |

28th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Not straightforward but he has more ability than his mark and his last two wins have been emphatic ones, latterly a near-5l success over 6f here 19 days ago (heavy; first time accessories); that form has been boosted by the reopposing Diamondsinthesand and a 5lb rise still leaves him lower than when running away with an Epsom handicap last summer (7f, good to soft); 5f asks a different question of him but his stamina will be an asset and they are likely to go hard. |

13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Came from off the pace to record a decisive C&D success in January; ran no sort of race over 5f here in February, always behind after a slow start; better than that and no surprise to see him rebound. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Hold-up performer who needs things to fall right but they did just that when he surged home in a good 6f handicap here three weeks ago; up 5lb but not impossibly treated on last season's best and the return to 5f won't be a negative. |

Solid efforts in defeat here on his last two starts; returning to 6f in his favour and he could go well at a big price. |

11th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Has been running well since March and she's won at Musselburgh (1m/7f, good) in her last three starts; up another 4lb but she's a strong traveller who still looks feasibly treated and is a big player again in her bid for a four-timer. |

22nd Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 5 |

Has been running well since March and always looked the most likely winner over C&D three weeks ago (good); fair shout off 4lb higher provided the ground doesn't soften up too much. |

8th Nov 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Longstanding maiden but he's dropped in the weights and he ran well dropped to 6f at Chelmsford on Saturday; shouldn't be far away if reproducing that form. |

4th 7 (7) |
4th Nov 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
He's dropped a long way in the weights and there were a few more promising signs when fifth of 11 at Wolverhampton last week (pulled hard over 7f in first-time blinkers); return to 6f not sure to suit. |

21st Mar 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) last October and now 2lb lower; however, he hasn't been at the same level on either outing this year and needs to raise his game; just one win from his last 17 starts. |

23rd Feb 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

1lb lower than when gaining his fourth C&D success in October, but out of the frame in three starts since; well backed last time, though, so interesting to see if the money comes for him again now returned here. |

String of good runs on turf and AW last season and there were feasible excuses for his last two defeats (drawn wide/raced close to a strong pace); handicapped to be competitive. |

Couple of tough draws since switched to a visor from cheekpieces, finishing second on his side of the course at Lingfield back on turf last time; that was a decent effort in the circumstances and he should go well. |

All three wins on turf have come at Catterick; returned from a break with a close fourth there (7f, good to firm) last month but she failed to back that up at Thirsk (eighth of nine) last time; has something to prove again after that and others are preferred. |

26th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

9th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Does well at this time of year, going back to her Irish days, and off the same mark as when winning over C&D last October; couple of costly defeats for Ronald Thompson over C&D in the summer but her new yard is in form, so she's considered. |
