11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Only 1lb higher than for his win at York's Ebor meeting (5.4f, good to firm) last August; Windsor fourth in May was promising and the Wokingham was always going to be a tough task latest; not dismissed. |
16/1 |

22th 28 (9) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Useful form at a less competitive level in 2025, following 6f wins last June with one in a valuable York race (extended 5f, good to firm) in August; kept on well after being slightly checked in his run at Windsor in May but he has more to prove over this stiff 6f on course debut. |

27th Jul 2024 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins as a juvenile; slow start did for him at Royal Ascot but competitive in his two runs either side of that (at 6f), pushing a subsequent improver close at Windsor and only wilting late on when the ground was soft at Pontefract; good chance, other than stall 9 not being ideal. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 5 (1) |
9th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Always behind at Royal Ascot (5f) last time; solid second at Windsor (6f, good to firm; form has substance) earlier in June; that reappearance effort gives him a fighting chance. |
5/1 |
|
22th 10 (6) |
21st Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Came up just short in Listed race at Ripon after winning a Windsor nursery (6f, good) last July; gelded prior to his reappearance 18 days ago when he again ran well at Windsor, finding one too strong but clear of the third; has the early speed to deal with the return to 5f; apart from a couple of blips on heavy ground, his profile is one of steady improvement; there could well be more to come from him. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Won at Ascot (5f, good to firm) in April and kept on for close second at Haydock (5f, good to firm) next time; feasibly treated on that form but he hasn't shone on his last two outings and needs to get back on track. |
8/1 |

14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Looked good dropped to 5f at Ascot in April and ran creditably on his next two starts; low draw excuses a lesser run back at Ascot last month; returns to 6f and shouldn't be passed over lightly. |
9/2 |
|
13 (6) |
12th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Impressed over C&D in April, his first attempt at 5f; ran well at Haydock next time and the ground shouldn't have been an issue when only fifth at Hamilton last time; still possible he's happiest on good to firm though and could yet rate higher at the trip. |

8st 12lb |
2-2 on AW, following his easy nursery win at Wolverhampton in October with a novice success at Newcastle six days later; two runs in Dubai this year, beaten around 2l in a conditions event three weeks ago; further progress possible but it will be needed. |

11th Jul 2024 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Promising 2yo, including a Listed third on heavy ground, but he's made little impact in three good handicaps this year; dropping down the weights but others bring stronger credentials. |
12/1 |
|
16th 26 (5) |
21st Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
His 2yo win came on soft ground over 6f; showed he could handle faster conditions when a close fifth at Windsor 18 days ago, but hard pressed to say he's well-enough treated to win a race like this. |

3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Quickly coaxed back to form by James Owen last year, winning 6f handicaps at Kempton (twice) and Chester; struggled on dirt in the Middle East over the winter but his mark dropped quickly and he ran well back on turf in Abu Dhabi in March; returned to Britain with an emphatic success at Leicester (6f, good to firm) eight days ago; today's 8lb higher mark should still be in range but the drop to 5f is a slight query. |
13/8 |
|
1st 5 (2) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Had ups and downs since showing decent form earlier in career and was well treated when starting out for this trainer in 2025, winning three of his last four 6f starts on AW and turf; went down only narrowly back on turf (good to firm; headgear left off) in UAE during March and he's of interest now back with former yard. |

Early promise for this yard but he's been struggling for form this winter; tackles 7f for the first time; stable may have stronger claims with Straight A. |

19th Feb 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Rated considerably higher this time 12 months ago but he's down in the weights as a result of some modest runs since March; returning to 6f not enough to tempt this time. |
14/1 |
