10th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Versatile trip-wise, he ran well when third of 11 at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) in June but was a shade disappointing when fourth at Doncaster (14.5f, good) last month when longer trip was expected to suit; still not out of this if putting his best foot forward. |

4th 1 (4) |
10th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 115y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Multiple winner and a versatile sort trip-wise; shaped as though coming to hand over 1m2f (under Bradley Furniss) at Newbury last time, a race that threw up several winners, and won't mind the step back up in distance; seems to handle most ground and is a player. |
8/1 |

3rd 9 (10) |
12th Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Four wins last year (1m2f-1m6f, including on turf) and this versatile sort was back on the scoresheet at Newcastle (2m, AW) in January; fair efforts on last two starts (1m/1m6f) and he might not be far away. |

Yet to win a race but was placed in five of his six races on the AW this year, the latest when third over 1m6f at Wolverhampton last month; first run on turf. |

Placed on first four starts this year, including third to Black Smoke (runs in first division) over C&D last month; more to his latest 2m Southwell flop than simply lack of stamina but his overall record provides hope he can bounce back. |

25th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up at Brighton (1m4f, soft) last September but he's been out of sorts under both codes since including a remote fifth over hurdles at Plumpton last week; blinkers now return but he's 1-30 on AW and has plenty to prove back on the Flat. |
14/1 |

5th 6 |
16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Modest Flat handicapper; tailed off all three starts over hurdles, the latest in a C&D maiden (good; 250-1) last November; only eighth of ten at Southwell (1m3f AW) in January; handicap hurdle debut. |
16/1 |

22nd Feb 2024 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb
|
Won over hurdles in November but no Flat success since July 2018; 5lb lower than when fourth of nine at Wolverhampton (16.5f, Tapeta) in December, but well held in three starts (AW/hurdles) since; others more solid. |

18th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 5f 66y Class 6 |
9st 5lb
|
His AW wins were all in 2017; won twice over hurdles in 2023 and penultimate start (Wolverhampton 2m) showed all is not lost on AW, but he ran poorly (14-1; made most) with blinkers reinstated over C&D one week ago behind two of today's rivals; others look a bit more solid. |

22nd Feb 2024 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Best form so far on Tapeta including all four wins, but has generally been disappointing since returning from eight months off in December and failed to beat a rival at Southwell (1m3f) last time; down in grade but enough to prove. |
11/1 |

30th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Four wins on Tapeta including twice over 1m4f here; back off his last winning mark, but needs to better his two efforts since returning from a lengthy absence last month. |
8/1 |
|
7th 3 (7) |
11th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Only 1lb higher than for his 1m4f win here last March; low-key return to action (after 232 days off) at Lingfield four weeks ago but he took a good step forward with his reappearance behind him last winter and the same is quite possible here; each-way claims. |

22nd Feb 2024 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb

Beaten a neck at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) last August, but just 1-30 and both efforts since returning for this yard last month have been poor; look elsewhere. |

8th 10 |
18th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 5f 66y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
1-29, the sole win in 2021; had quite a few minor honours last year, including a close second over 1m6f at Wolverhampton in August off today's mark, but this month's first run for a new yard was a heavy defeat. |

11st 2lb |
0-8 on the Flat; placed off basement marks on consecutive 1m6f AW starts in February/March and has winning jumpers in his pedigree but will need to take very well to hurdling to pose a threat here. |
33/1 |

6th 6 (3) |
4th Apr 2024 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Low-mileage 6yo who was placed over C&D before going close over this trip at Southwell; disappointing when stepped up 2m back at Southwell latest but he's a contender on his 1m6f form; fitted with first-time cheekpieces. |

1st Jul 2024 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
1m2f AW winner for George Boughey last January but she's struggled for current yard including at 2m and 1m3f on Tapeta in last two runs; mark has bottomed out now and she makes no appeal. |

3rd Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |

C&D win off 2lb higher in May; more recent efforts haven't been her best but getting back on AW may help, as could a change of headgear. |
6/1 |
|
10th 6 (7) |
14th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Both wins on AW (1m6f and 2m) but she acts on turf and is closely matched with Hawk Jet on a recent Salisbury run (1m6f); has possibilities but could probably do with the ground drying out. |
10/1 |
|
4th 2 |
30th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 6f 44y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Both wins on AW, off 1lb lower; ran creditably on turf at Lingfield (2m) in June but subsequent efforts leave something to be desired; not the percentage call. |
16/1 |
