23rd Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Last run at Kempton saw him finish a close second off a 15lb higher mark and that was as recent as March; likely to exploit his drop in the weights at some point but perhaps in a less competitive race than this. |
12/1 |
|
6th 6 (7) |
19th Sep 2024 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Has looked on the downgrade in recent times, coming 16lb down the weights this year; hasn't looked to see out 1m2f the past twice, though, and a better showing wouldn't surprise back in the usual cheekpieces. |
20/1 |

16th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Usually seen over 1m and a return to 1m2f ten days ago did not yield anything; 12lb lower than at start of the year but others have more pressing claims. |

12th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Can lead; multiple AW wins at 7f and 1m but he's 0-14 on turf and it's a long time since he's been any threat on grass; up against it in only his fifth turf start in the last two years. |
16/1 |

6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Five-time C&D winner who's not well drawn for one happiest on the sharp end; resumed in good form, with two solid efforts over 1m, but has never won off a mark this high and isn't improving at his age. |
12/1 |
|
4th 4 (6) |
14th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Five-time Kempton winner who boasts a consistent record round here too; solid comeback from over three months off over C&D last month and is well drawn for one happiest on the sharp end but has never won off a mark this high. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Has modest strike-rate in recent years and ought to have coped better with the heavy ground when safely held on last two starts at Ffos Las (1m2f/1m); needs to up his game. |
14/1 |
|
1 (7) |
28th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole handicap win over 1m on good ground but he has form on soft and heavy; signs of a revival two starts ago but he failed by a long chalk to confirm it on this track since; still capable of going well off his reduced mark if refitting cheekpieces helps. |
8/1 |
|
4 (6) |
9th Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Has dropped to a handy mark, but he didn't get going until it was too late when fourth of eight over C&D (good to soft) 12 days ago; capable of playing a part if things drop right; stable also runs Zambezi Magic. |

24th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
3-13 here, taking advantage of a favourable mark when successful at this track (1m, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) this month; only 2lb higher and still well treated on last summer's form; player. |
7/2 |
|
1st 4 (3) |
2nd Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Four wins last summer, latterly off a 7lb higher mark, and has come back to form round here lately; often blows the start and can pull hard, while it's late in the day to be trying headgear for the first time, but he remains quite capable if things fall right. |

26th Jun 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Has won here (1m) but his two successes in the meantime came over 1m2f on turf in the spring of last year; now 5lb lower than for the latest of those and stepping back up in trip may suit; each-way claims. |
