4th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Lightly raced since narrowly making a winning debut at Newcastle (1m, AW) in February last year and, having been gelded and undergone wind surgery, he failed to beat a rival on handicap debut at Southwell (1m, AW) in April; off another three months since and has enough to prove. |

3rd Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Had some useful handicap form over 6f and 7f last year, winning twice and running well at Newbury (7f, good to firm) last August when rated 4lb higher; not found his best form this season and now returns to AW with cheekpieces enlisted; revival possible. |

20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Two wins during a progressive 3yo campaign but he's been well held as favourite in his two runs (6f/7f) this season; has bit to prove but he's edging back down the weights and this new trip looks worth exploring. |
3/1 |

17th May 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Disappointing favourite at Goodwood on reappearance but perhaps the track and the drop back to 6f were against him; progressive in handicaps last season and this lightly raced 4yo could still have more to offer for a top trainer who has won two of the last four runnings of this race. |

9st 2lb |
Off the mark on AW at Newcastle (1m4f) in September 2024 on his final start for Rebecca Menzies but hasn't seriously threatened in two recent AW outings for new yard since returning from a long absence. |
9/1 |

Off the mark at the 17th attempt when winning at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) in September 2024 on his final start for Rebecca Menzies; didn't shape badly here over 1m4f on his stable debut last time having been off for 558 days; may build on that over this longer trip. |

Sent off 1-3 when making it 17th-time lucky at Newcastle (1m4f, Tapeta) in September 2024; has since left Rebecca Menzies (same owners) and the market should reveal what is expected. |

31st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
He's reappeared in rude health this year with wins under Lauren Young at Musselburgh (1m4f, good) and Hamilton (1m3f, good); beat bang-in-form stablemate last time and a 5lb higher mark might not stop this course winner. |
5/2 |

1st 4 (1) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Three wins (C&D, 1m6f and 2m1f) in summer 2024 and, from a reduced mark, back on the scoresheet at Musselburgh (1m4f) three weeks ago when arriving very late on the scene at 20-1 under Lauren Young to deny Fast Fred; back up 4lb but could take another step back up the ladder. |
7/2 |

1st 7 (7) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Three wins (1m3f, 1m6f and 2m1f) in summer 2024 and he's 7lb below his last winning mark; struggled to get competitive last year until his running-on fifth under Lauren Young in a blanket finish on final start (1m4f, soft); reappearance record isn't great and today's test may be a bit too sharp for him. |

5th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Poor maiden who's been tried over various trips and in two forms of headgear since starting his career in bumpers; has done a lot of his racing on soft ground, so any rain would likely suit, but he's hard to recommend either way. |
16/1 |

8th 5 (12) |
1st Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Half his ten starts were on turf but all those were on soft and his form dropped off markedly on last two outings; recent headgear is removed; 9lb lower than on handicap debut and the ground should be different. |

Massive prices and he's struggled in three novice/maiden events here (7f/1m) this year; still early days and now switches to a handicap but he needs a transformation on this step up to 1m2f. |

9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Quirky sort but she got off the mark in this sphere in 1m7f handicap at Wincanton 43 days ago, despite being reluctant at the start; up 4lb but she still merits serious consideration. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 50y Class 5 |

Went mighty close at Leicester (soft) in November despite pulling hard and her trainer blamed three fairly quick runs when she disappointed at Uttoxeter (also 2m, heavy) the following month; freshened up since and she can't be ruled out. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |

Low-grade Flat winner; yet to be placed after five hurdling starts but kept on from the rear for very respectable fifth of 14 over C&D (good-first-time tongue-tie) this month; considered each-way. |

Looked in excellent nick when winning twice here in the autumn (7f/1m) but has not been at the same level on his two appearances this month (both 1m) and still needs to prove he can cope with a mark this high. |

23rd Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

17th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

1m win here on stable debut in March and he's followed that with five good runs in defeat, most recently a near miss over C&D three weeks ago; closely matched with the winner Ring Of Gold; should make another bold bid. |
