9st 8lb |
Campaigned mostly at about 1m; largely productive on turf/AW and has been successful in three of her last four handicap attempts (stiffer task in French Listed event since); stiff course is a plus returned to 7f; one for the shortlist. |

21st Jan 2024 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Went close here in November but he started slowly that day and again when beating only one home back here the following month; capable but comes with risks. |

11th Dec 2023 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Has become a regular slow-starter but that didn't stop him from going close over C&D most recently, finishing well from a difficult position; possibilities if the cards drop perfectly. |

11th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Form dipped at Wolverhampton three weeks ago but he is normally consistent on AW and could well rebound; back on career-low mark and holds a good chance if taking well to new headgear (tongue-tie and blinkers replace hood/cheekpieces). |

22nd Dec 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
0-9 since his novice win here (8.6f) last September but he's reached the frame in last three runs and was beaten less than 2l behind See You Boy at Lingfield (7f) last week; hasn't had much luck with the draw again but he shouldn't be far away. |

9th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |

High in the weights after three wins this year but not disgraced the last twice and claiming 3lb through William Carver can aid his cause; won't be far away. |
15/2 |

31st Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins this year, the latest at Newmarket this month (1m, good); solid effort in a Racing League handicap 16 days ago; not handicapped out of it on last year's best but a lower draw would have been preferable for one that likes to race prominently. |

24th Jun 2023 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Winning debut on Chelmsford's AW last August; stepped up on that form when third of 11 in 1m Goodwood novice (good to firm) on reappearance 15 days ago, travelling well in the lead for a long way; lacks experience for a race of this nature, and the widest stall won't make life any easier, but she stands out as an unexposed sort in this line-up. |

9th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Mixed messages as to the strength of her debut winning form at Chelmsford (1m, AW) last August but she did well to win at all from off the pace; as a 4yo winner she has to concede plenty of weight but still commands respect. |

11th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
The drop to Class 5 company saw him exploit a reduced mark at Lingfield last month; too keen again when down the field at Wolverhampton three weeks ago; has the ability to feature off this mark but he will need to settle better back up in grade. |
20/1 |

22nd Dec 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Ended a long losing run with his 25-1 win off a reduced mark at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) last Wednesday; still looks feasibly treated under a penalty but he has a tough draw this time and he struggled over C&D on his penultimate run; some risks attached. |

17th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Has patchy profile but he put in a dominant display at Kempton (1m) in October and he had some traffic issues in the closing stages when a respectable sixth over C&D last time; still looks on a workable mark and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a bold bid. |

7th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time turf winner who is just 1lb higher than when winning at Lingfield (1m, AW) in February; hasn't been in the same form since and returns from a break today, but drops back down in grade and is not ruled out. |
9/1 |

10th 12 (7) |
4th May 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Often front-runs; Lingfield AW in February ended his losing run and he was 33-1 when well held there in a Class 2 latest outing (rare start with this visor, instead of usual blinkers); second at Epsom last August showed some turf ability remained, but he's 2lb higher today and not the percentage call. |
