18th Apr 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won 5f novice here last February; handily weighted on the form of some tight finishes over sprint trips later and he appeared to stay 7f well enough on rare attempt at the trip when fourth at Wolverhampton last month; worth giving him the benefit of the doubt that he can do it again. |

17th Mar 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Sole win came in 5f AW novice but he was involved in three tight finishes three times last summer and ran his best race of the winter over 6f here last month; not so good on this track since and has a trip query in only his second 7f handicap, the first since 2yo days. |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Both wins have come at Chelmsford (5f, Polytrack) and is 5lb lower than for the latest in January; hasn't enjoyed the smoothest of runs in two of his last three starts and could go well from the inside stall granted a kinder trip. |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
All ten runs over 5f on AW, winning a novice and a Class 5 handicap at Chelmsford; cheekpieces didn't have a positive effect back at Chelmsford last month though and others are more appealing; first run at Southwell. |

Best run on turf was when runner-up to a useful sort in a 5f maiden here in July (soft; third has won since); off the mark in a Kempton maiden in February, but well below his best on handicap debut at Southwell earlier this month (5f; cheekpieces); headgear retained; up to 6f for the first time. |

9th Feb 2024 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
105,000gns 2yo; tenth of 12 on her belated debut at Jebel Ali (6f, dirt) in November, but having been dropped in trip and with the tongue-tie removed she beat a couple of previous winners when successful at Wolverhampton (5f, Tapeta) last month; major player despite her big weight for her triple-handed stable. |

1st 6 (1) |
15th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Cost 105,000gns as a 2yo but she was only tenth of 12 at Jebel Ali (6f, dirt) on her debut in November; travelled well to a point in that race and now drops to 5f for Archie Watson but she still needs to leave her initial form a long way behind. |

6th Apr 2024 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Unexposed after only four runs but made underwhelming handicap debut when sixth of nine at Southwell (6f) last month; needs to take a good step forward over today's longer trip. |
8/1 |

6th 7 (7) |
16th Mar 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
He hasn't landed a blow in two 5f events on Polytrack this year but stepping up to 6f will suit, as will this drop into Class 6 handicaps; blinkers given a go too and he's more interesting than many of these. |
