20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Yet to win on turf (0-17) and his 'most recent' AW win was at Wolverhampton (6f) in December 2023; nothing positive to take from his last four starts, including when weakening quickly at Musselburgh (7f; 40-1) three weeks ago. |

All three wins came on AW in 2023 when trained by Richard Fahey; only narrowly denied by The Gay Blade over 6f at Newcastle in February but hasn't been in same form since, including behind that reopposing rival there last week. |

Winner of six races and ran well when third of nine in a 0-55 handicap here (5f, good to firm) last month, but current losing run now up to 29; drawn widest and others are more compelling. |

7th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Has the ability to win off this mark and she's coming here in good order; does need everything to fall just right though and her strike-rate tempers enthusiasm. |

23rd May 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Has a modest 2-26 strike-rate and beaten on her last 12 outings, but she's been a good fourth on her last two starts (5f/6f, heavy/soft) and seems versatile ground-wise; could play a leading role. |

9st 9lb |
Picked off in the final strides in a 6f classified event at Lingfield nine days ago but dropped away to finish a remote eighth at Newcastle on Monday (tried in a hood which is left off today); needs better for today's drop back to 5f. |
7/1 |

8th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Record of 0-16 but he was only just caught by the favourite in a classified event at Lingfield (6f, Polytrack) last Thursday; hood is now added into the mix and he's a big player if he can repeat that latest form. |

29th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

11th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Made it 0-12 when well beaten at Southwell a fortnight ago following an absence, and needs to prove he retains ability; however, he may have needed that latest run and is on a handy mark on his best C&D form; not discounted. |

Four turf wins in 2021 and thrown in on that form; missed last season though and he hasn't got going in six runs since his return in June; goes without his usual tongue-tie; can't be recommended at present. |

6f AW winner for another yard as 2yo; only once run to form in handicaps for new yard (7f, Tapeta; blinkered for the first time) and she's suffered heavy defeats on her last three starts; headgear absent today; risky. |

On a long losing sequence but he has started life well for John Mackie on last two outings, fourth of 12 in 5f Catterick handicap ten days ago; very much one to consider off the same mark with cheekpieces refitted. |

Finished second in this race in 2023 (soft) and 2024 (heavy); good second at Wolverhampton on his stable debut (6f) two weeks ago; well drawn back on turf but his 18 turf runs have seen him steer clear of anything faster than good to soft. |
