1st Jan 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
BHA-rated 100 at one stage; off for a year before returning to action with an impressive success at Thirsk in September (stable debut); a shade disappointing at York next time but he bounced back with a bang with a cosy success here in November (2-2 on AW, both over C&D); this is a better race but a 3lb rise isn't excessive and a promising apprentice's claim is handy; not discounted. |

14th Nov 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Returned from the thick end of a year on the sidelines with an impressive display at Thirsk in September, capitalising on some help from the handicapper; no excuses when eighth at York last month but this represents a less-demanding assignment and he won his novice over C&D, albeit back in April 2019; high on the list. |

17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Only won one of his last 28 starts but has slid to a competitive mark as a result and was unlucky not to finish closer behind The Good Biscuit and Jonny Concrete at Chester (hampered late); holds each-way claims. |

He hasn't been at his best in recent starts but he has dipped to a dangerous mark and he has landed a good draw; this is a tough race in which to try and turn things around though. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
More modest runs than good ones in 2025 but he did bolt up at Doncaster last June (6f, good to firm) and he is 4lb lower now; needs to leave his reappearance effort well behind him and he has finished down the field in his two visits here. |

29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Has become unreliable but is well treated on his standout performance of 2025, namely a comfortable win off 1lb higher at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) in June; scored over 7f in 2023. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |

Easy win at Doncaster in June (6f, good to firm) but generally struggled since; even if he's back in top form he could do with the ground drying out. |

14th Nov 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Well-bred filly who created a positive impression in winning 6f novice events on her first two starts (good and good to firm); not really bred to sprint but the step up to 7f didn't help on her handicap debut in September, tanking through the race but her finishing effort lacked punch; surely capable of winning races off this mark and returning to 6f in what should be a well-run affair can see her feature prominently. |
11/4 |

22nd Sep 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Looked a smart prospect at Doncaster on debut and although she didn't win as comfortably as her odds-on supporters might have wished for at Windsor last month, she will have learned plenty from that messy race; 7f looks sure to suit and an opening mark of 80 could greatly underestimate her. |

14th Nov 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Two AW wins early in the year, one over C&D; made a winning turf debut at Doncaster in July and she ran well for third in a strong fillies' handicap at Pontefract in September (6f, good to soft); still open to improvement after just six runs and her rivals would be wise not to allow her too much rope up front. |

3rd 5 (4) |
21st Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Made it three wins from five starts when making all on her handicap and turf debut at Doncaster (6f, soft) in July last time out; this well-bred 3yo could still have more to offer and she's a strong contender up 4lb. |

Only raced on Tapeta so far, winning 6f novices at Wolverhampton in January and Newcastle in March; out of her depth in a valuable conditions event at the latter track the following month and now makes her handicap/turf debut after 111 days off; market may be helpful. |

9st 5lb |
Prolific winner at up to 7.5f, on all types of ground; 3lb lower than when last scoring at Beverley last September and, with his trainer among the winners, don't be surprised if he returns to form. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner in 2022, with no joy from nine subsequent visits but most of those were over shorter, whereas his last four wins (elsewhere) have been at about 7f; he's now 1lb lower than when making all at Beverley last September and a case can be made. |

8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

C&D winner in 2023 but all his subsequent wins have come over 7f+; on dangerous mark but he's faded at big prices in both runs this season and latest was over C&D (eighth of 16) three weeks ago; down the list. |

Beaten about 2l when sixth of 16 at Ayr (6f, good to soft) last month but he's been below his best in two starts since (6f/7f); without a win since November 2023 and now steps back up to 1m for the first time in over three years; best watched. |

Versatile trip-wise and was runner-up over 6f here (good) in April but he's not matched that form since and is now 0-21 since his last win in November 2023; stablemate of No Nay Nevermind. |

28th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Not easy to win with these days (last turf win was in August 2022); good C&D second in April; hasn't fared quite as well since, although fair run when 2.25l sixth of 16 over C&D three weeks ago. |

Went close at Musselburgh (7f, good) last time, showing he retains full ability aged eight; dual winner at Goodwood and may remain competitive; gained last three wins on soft ground. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Well beaten on reappearance at Newcastle (6f, AW) 30 days ago and needs to be an entirely different proposition today; however, he's on a competitive mark on last season's best efforts and his C&D form figures read 123, with all three of those runs coming in cheekpieces (which go back on). |
