11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Can take a hold so needs a good pace to aim at, which he had when winning at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in August; still 2lb higher, but this may also be run to suit him so very much frame material. |

28th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Below par on AW last time; largely respectable form on turf otherwise this season, notably Windsor success in August; possibly has very little in hand off current mark, however. |

28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
The latest of three turf wins was at Windsor (1m2f) two weeks ago; one respectable effort on dirt at Jebel Ali in early 2024 but unraced on AW in Britain and he likely needs something new for Tapeta if he's to defy his current mark. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 50y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Pretty useful on the Flat at his best, superior to stablemate Ribba Hill; ridden out to win at Taunton (2m, good) after a break and the winner got away from him (he was beaten 12l) when he was penalised here over 2m4f; can be given another chance despite another 2lb, especially back in trip. |
5/2 |

2nd 3 |
1st Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 179y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Pretty useful on the Flat at his best; didn't show much in first four hurdle runs but he really got his act together when landing a gamble in a Taunton handicap (2m, good) last Tuesday; has a penalty but that was a convincing win and he's respected on this step back up in trip. |
11/4 |

1st 4 |
24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Pretty useful on the Flat at his best but lost his way in that scene last May/June and has made a quiet start over hurdles; 33-1 and upped to 2m5f when pulled up on handicap hurdle debut last time. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
2024 C&D winner who broke his losing run in clearcut style when he reappeared with restored cheekpieces at Kempton (2m, AW) in March; second in valuable race at Newmarket (1m6f) confirmed that he's turned a corner and must remain in serious calculations. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 5 (1) |
3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Thereabouts on occasions in 2025, crept down the weights and broke his losing run in clearcut style when he reappeared five weeks ago wearing restored cheekpieces in the Queen's Prize at Kempton (2m, AW); back up 4lb but showed plenty of bottle in that win and may have turned a corner. |
6/1 |
|
1st 4 (2) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
On a losing run of 13 since his hat-trick in summer 2024; has dropped in the weights, was thereabouts on occasions in 2025 and it can be argued that today's headgear switch will help, but there's a bit for him to prove on AW (it's only his third AW race) and others have more pressing claims. |

20th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
0-4 on turf and 2-4 on AW, her latest win at Kempton (1m3f) last month; creditable second of four at Southwell (1m3f, AW) 18 days later and likely to stay 1m4f, but there is more for her to prove on turf. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 2 (3) |
30th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
0-4 on turf but 2-3 on the AW, her latest win coming at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) 18 days ago; only had a neck to spare and is 3lb higher, but she showed a good attitude and there may well be more to come. |
