24th Feb 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
12-time winner including over C&D; has mixed record since last success in May 2024 but he's reached the frame here in two of his last four runs; things didn't go well over C&D last time but he had a wide trip in that race and could be dangerous if he can bounce back. |

3rd Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Got off the mark on turf at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) in June off 1lb lower mark when making all; he had to use up energy to lead from a wide stall and didn't have much left once headed when fifth at Beverley (8.5f, good to firm) nine days ago; chance if able to dominate from the front. |
8/1 |

25th Aug 2024 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Free-going front-runner who has won three times this year, most recently here (7.4f, good to firm) in June; suffered worrying dip in form afterwards but steadied the ship with respectable fourth at Epsom (7f, good) last week and will be fine over today's trip; no surprise if he makes a bold bid. |
8/1 |

16th Aug 2024 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Triple all-the-way winner already in 2024 and perfectly drawn to attack this time, but can sometimes prove too free for his own good and hasn't beaten anything home since the most recent success; risks attached. |

10st 0lb |
Made all and just held on when off the mark at the 20th attempt at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta) 11 days ago; 4lb wrong under her penalty, but the drop back in trip may suit on her first visit here; high on list. |

24th Mar 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
Best form has come here including all three wins (7f/1m); just 2lb above his last winning mark, but his record in Class 5 handicaps or higher reads 5864097 so he may again find a few too strong. |

29th Apr 2026 Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Four-time winner, most recently in November 2024 at Newmarket (1m1f, good) off a 14lb higher mark than today's; has attracted support since joining this yard and was a close third in a classified event at Wolverhampton 65 days ago; steps back into handicaps with claims. |

3rd 1 (8) |
23rd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Scored four times on turf in 2024; on the decline since and 0-13 on AW but he was well backed when a creditable fourth in a C&D classified event ten days ago when just behind Dash Power; big player if he can build on that. |

9st 1lb |
1-28 but looked as though he might be on the way back when beaten 3l into fourth of ten behind Kessaar Power over C&D in October in a first-time visor; now 7lb better off, but the headgear was missing when not so good back here a fortnight ago and is missing again today. |

13th Mar 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |

Hint of ability in three starts for Roger Varian last year, but has gone backwards in three outings in handicaps over 1m-1m4f since joining this yard. |

24th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Hint of ability for Roger Varian last summer; well beaten in two handicap runs for this yard (1m1f and 1m4f); dropping down the weights and the return to 1m could spark extra. |

14th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well held in her three runs for Roger Varian and was a remote fourth of six on her handicap/stable debut at Sandown (1m1f, heavy; 18-1) early last month; still unexposed and has some stamina on her dam's side but she needs improvement at this new trip. |
