8th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Four-time winner, split between turf and AW; last success was off 2lb higher at Salisbury (1m) last August but he's been out of sorts in last three runs and needs a major revival; reapplied cheekpieces replace a visor. |

31st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Ran well at Bath in June but has lacked consistency this year; 7yo who's far from guaranteed to take advantage of being 2lb below last winning mark. |

2nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Recent form a bit patchy, but his second of 11 at Bath (1m, good; first-time visor) on his penultimate start took his record off today's mark to 313212; does most of his racing over shorter these days, but shouldn't have a problem with this trip. |

13th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Short of her best on her last two starts but she lurks on a dangerous mark and she was second over C&D in January; not solid but a big run wouldn't be a total bolt from the blue. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Four wins include one over C&D (good) in May 2024; hasn't scored since August of that year but he's now 20lb lower and latest fourth of 13 at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) was a solid effort despite hanging; should enhance creditable Brighton form figures of 21424. |
4/1 |

4th 13 (3) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
0-30 on AW but he's won four times on turf (7f); struggled during the winter but he returned to this scene with a respectable effort at Yarmouth (6f, good) last month; should benefit from that run and he's in the mix on this step back up in trip; cheekpieces reapplied. |

8th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 133y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Sole win came on debut here (1m, AW) when trained by Hugo Palmer; fifth of ten on stable debut at Wolverhampton (9.5f) and he stepped up on that first outing for 398 days when going close at Kempton (also AW, 1m3f) last month; one turf run (heavy) was inconclusive; player. |

11th Jun 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |

Sole win came on debut at Lingfield (1m, AW) when trained by Hugo Palmer; sold for 1,000gns last summer; fifth of ten on stable debut at Wolverhampton (9.5f) on first outing for 398 days so he's entitled to come on for it and now steps up in distance for his in-form yard. |

11th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 0m 5f 3y |
9st 11lb |
Second runner for yard; four AW wins; 1-16 on turf; kept very busy on AW in recent months, on latest collared close home when runner-up over 7f off current mark; 7lb claimer takes over from Colin Keane; one to consider. |
4/1 |

2nd 5 (5) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
9st 11lb |
Four AW wins up to an extended 1m1f, twice over C&D including in January off 74; kept busy since over various trips, most recently best work at finish after a slow start (stalls slow to open) when beaten 1.5l over 6f; return to 7f to suit and okay mark so one to consider. |

29th Feb 2024 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Strike-rate is a moderate 1-25, that sole success coming almost a year ago; form patchy since and below best last time; Hollie Doyle again rides but probably one to watch. |

15th Feb 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Only 1-24 but ran his best race yet for current connections when beaten a length in this new headgear combination at Chelmsford; has won on Tapeta and should be well handicapped. |

3rd 1 (4) |
9th Feb 2024 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Generally consistent for three yards but has only won once from 23 starts, that coming over further on Tapeta; is down to a career-low mark, though, and needs a second look in first-time cheekpieces. |

29th Feb 2024 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Debut winner in France but hasn't added to tally since and disappointing in Britain; has tumbled in the weights and bit better last time but needs to raise game further if he's to win. |
25/1 |

6th 8 |
22nd Feb 2024 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

0-13 since making a successful debut in France as a 3yo and hasn't finished within 11l of the winner in his last seven starts (visor fitted last time, now removed); easily opposed back from four months off. |
20/1 |
