16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Promising reappearance after wind surgery when fourth at Newcastle (6f) but has taken two backward steps since; has his first run beyond sprint distances here and needs to bounce back after seven weeks off. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Promising reappearance after wind surgery when fourth of 14 over C&D in January but failed to build on that when only sixth of seven at Lingfield (6f) four weeks ago; bounce back needed. |

27th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Excelled as a 3yo but found the handicapper in command last year; promising reappearance at Newcastle six weeks ago (first run after wind surgery) and he is on a dangerous mark; widest stall to deal with but foolish to discount. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Below par last time but consistent otherwise of late and may well rebound, especially back at Pontefract; form here features two wins in 2025 and a close second this spring. |

17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Closed out last season with a pair of soft-ground wins and has resumed in good form off his revised mark, latterly when having two of these behind at Chester last weekend; adaptable as regards ground and tactics, and can't be discounted. |

Ended 2025 in top form and he has returned to action with two solid placed efforts; 2lb ahead of the handicapper and no obvious reason why he wouldn't give it another good shot. |

27th May 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Acts on all surfaces and he confirmed earlier good efforts with an authoritative 6f win on final 2yo start (soft) for Ralph Beckett; has run to similar RPRs at 7f and 1m for new yard in Qatar and looks a likely type for the return to sprinting under suitable conditions. |

21st Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Ninth in the Windsor Castle after winning at Bath first time out; fared best of those who raced prominently when third of nine on nursery debut at Haydock and it was a very strong nursery in which he failed to fire at York's Ebor meeting (first-time blinkers); has only raced on fast ground but he has form claims. |

28th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Has been running over 7f but of more interest back at 6f and this is her first run at the trip on a straight track since running up against a success story at York (good to soft) in June; on the premises off 5lb lower if cheekpieces don't tip her the wrong way. |
12/1 |

6th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Unplaced the last twice on her first two attempts at 7f but those were on good ground and a slow surface seems preferable; stays well over 6f and things could click at 7f this afternoon if she gets favourable conditions. |

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 |

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. |

15th Sep 2024 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
3yo who has shown considerable improvement since these cheekpieces went on, running big races in two handicaps (7f, good/good to soft) before Listed win in Germany (7f, good to soft) a fortnight ago; today is a much tougher test of her credentials but she was impressive last time; respected. |
10/1 |

3rd 12 (8) |
4th Aug 2024 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Ran in the Fred Darling on her reappearance; finished last in her first two handicaps but the cheekpieces worked wonders when coming from off the pace to lead late on at Haydock (7f, good); only 3lb higher and the second went on to win the Bunbury Cup; interesting as a lightly raced 3yo filly who looks to have turned a corner. |
13/2 |

1st 10 (2) |
5th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Got off the mark at the second attempt at two, winning a Kempton fillies' maiden (7f, AW); attempted Group 3 company and two handicaps since then, without making a huge impression; cheekpieces are now added and she needs to find more back up in trip. |
12/1 |
