9st 7lb |
Ended his 2024 campaign with a hat-trick, scoring narrowly at Southwell (1m2f, AW) the final time and taking overall record to 4-11; this progressive sort is effective on turf and one to consider. |

19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Three-time C&D winner, latterly after a five-month break off 4lb lower last August; another solid effort fresh when not far behind Lord Capulet and The Green Man four weeks ago and is 7lb better off with the winner; can miss the break but is considered. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 7 (6) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has a fine record over C&D including three wins, four seconds and four thirds; didn't fire here in his final run last year but he remains feasibly treated on his best form and his last win was after a break; needs watching in the market back from 139 days off. |
12/1 |

4th Nov 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

28th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Fair fourth of 14 at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) last December on second 2yo start and rallied for 7l third of nine in Thirsk maiden (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago; ran okay in fourth on subsequent hurdle debut; begins handicap life on a realistic mark and this trip could be ideal; a possible. |
16/1 |

4th 5 |
14th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Consistent on the Flat (0-3); rallied after being outpaced on return to action at Thirsk (1m, maiden; third, beaten 7l) last week; dam was a sprinter, which raises some concerns, but interesting to see how he copes with a quick switch to hurdles; noteworthy. |

Infrequent winner but well treated on this year's best efforts; well beaten at 40-1 on his return from a summer break two weeks ago and needs to leave that well behind. |

Never gave his running at Bath in June and off since; went close there the time before (1m) off only 1lb lower and effective on AW surfaces. |

14th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Won Haydock maiden (11.6f, good to firm) last June on third start and fair third of six in Sandown handicap (1m6f, good) next time; returned from absence with respectable fifth at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) last month, when the steady pace was against him; retains potential and not discounted. |
8/1 |

10th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Strong late bid to justify odds of 4-9 in a maiden at Haydock (11.5f, good to firm) last June; that was in between two good efforts, albeit wandering when third of six on handicap debut at Sandown (1m6f, good) in July latest; gelded this March; after just four races, may have more to offer. |

3rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Four wins for Andrew Balding (including over C&D) but was pulled up on hurdling/stable debut in June and has finished tailed off back on the Flat (2m) in last two runs; on dangerous mark on this drop back in trip but she needs a major revival. |
25/1 |
|
2 (7) |
26th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Second to Moel Arthur over C&D in January (trained by Andrew Balding) and 3lb better off with that rival today; jumped poorly on her stable/hurdle debut at Stratford in June and then tailed off at Kempton (2m, AW) seven weeks ago; better than that but she does have something to prove for now. |
16/1 |

8th 7 (5) |
9th Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Didn't take to hurdling on stable debut at Stratford three weeks ago but she ran some good races on the Flat earlier in the year for Andrew Balding and is not ruled out now back in this code. |

31st Jul 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
2-5 in handicaps for new stable this season, the latter win gained in first-time cheekpieces at Ffos Las (1m, good) last month; ought to have been suited by the good to soft ground when only fourth of five there three weeks ago, though, and now has a point to prove. |
10/1 |
|
4th 4 (5) |
10th Jul 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Well held in three runs for the Gosdens but she's been progressive for her current yard and made it 2-4 in handicaps when scoring over C&D (good; cheekpieces added) two weeks ago; a 5lb rise for that comfortable success looks fair and this well-bred filly could continue on the upgrade; big player. |

Holds weak claims on his 1m2f form, down the field in Brighton handicap most recently; however, new trip and first-time headgear are possible sources of improvement. |

Didn't go on from a respectable 1m2f debut on AW in November but handicaps likely to have been the aim and interesting to see how much strength there is behind him in the market now switched to turf; considered. |

Postponed filly who has been brought along very steadily, ninth in 1m novice here 19 days ago; appeals as a likely improver now handicapping with her stamina drawn out more; interesting. |
