Inconsistent but he ran one of his good races when a close third at Nottingham 19 days ago (6f, good to soft); fully effective over C&D; not ruled out for a stable that also run Nordic Glory. |

Turf (good to firm) and AW winner over 6f; best turf RPR came on good to soft but other form on slow ground makes that look an anomaly; plenty to prove based on last three starts. |

26th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

His sole victory came in 2023 and he has become increasingly temperamental, virtually refusing to race when beating one in classified event over C&D last month; eyeshields are fitted here. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Sole win from 23 starts was as a 2yo in November 2023; well treated on old form but he's regressed since a third at Southwell in January and refused to race on one occasion; passed over. |

23rd Jan 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

Ran well at Wolverhampton in November (second run) but he's failed to build on it since, beaten double-digit distances in two handicaps; tongue-tie now given a go. |

12th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
A fourth over C&D in November stands out from the rest of his runs like a sore thumb; blinkers failed to help at Newcastle between Christmas and New Year and have been quickly discarded; others are more solid. |
20/1 |
|
3 (6) |
28th Dec 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Easily his best run was the middle of his three, in a 6f maiden at Wolverhampton last month on which he's not badly handicapped; needs to tap back into that promise now handicapping and perhaps the blinkers will work. |

28th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
He's fully 14lb lower than when winning at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) last June but hasn't been shaping of late as though he's about to capitalise on his reduced mark; soundly beaten fourth here (6f, good) last time. |
6/1 |

14th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Now 13lb lower than for his Hamilton win (6f, good to firm) last June but he's been well held in all four runs this season; won't mind if the forecast rain arrives but losing run is up to 12 and this looks a tough task against Novamay; cheekpieces removed. |
16/1 |

26th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |

Now 10lb below the mark he defied over C&D last June but recent efforts don't obviously suggest he's ready to take advantage. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Best RPRs over shorter (6f) but did make all in a slowly run C&D Class 4 in January (4-1); failed to get majorly competitive - often slowly away - in his last three starts; return to AW might assist, along with Ethan Tindall's 5lb claim. |

9st 6lb |
3lb lower than when gaining her sole success in 22 starts at Chelmsford (7f, AW) in January, but not matched that form since and she didn't run very well in two previous goes on good to firm ground. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |

Sole win came on AW at Chelmsford (7f, AW) in January; failed to match that level since but she's been a respectable third in her last two outings, including at Lingfield (7f, soft) 26 days ago. |

3rd 6 (7) |
7th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Got off the mark at Chelmsford (7f) in January but she has been below that level subsequently, a never-nearer third of nine in 7f AW handicap here in March; she needs to bounce back in a change of headgear. |

9st 11lb |
It took 15 races before she got off the mark (Beverley in July) but now she's added a C&D win last Thursday; no handicap good thing under her penalty but she needs respect hot on the heels of a career-best. |

9st 0lb |
Nine-race maiden who appeared to be going the wrong way, but bounced back in the first-time visor when third of nine at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) ten days ago; 1lb lower, but much depends on whether the headgear continues to work. |
7/1 |

17th Jan 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Has bits of encouraging form but ran badly (finished last of 11) at Newcastle most recently; hopes of shedding his maiden status are pinned on first-time headgear. |
12/1 |

11 (1) |
28th Dec 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
0-7 but some fair runs since switched to Tapeta and from a bad draw he didn't run too badly last time at Kempton (7f); that might be more his trip but he's still considered. |
10/1 |
