27th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Responded well to the fitting of cheekpieces when winning at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) in June and over this C&D last month, making all both times; ridden more conservatively when fifth of nine back at Kempton (2m) this month; a player if reverting to positive tactics under Simon Walker. |

7th Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
2-2 in Polytrack handicaps this summer, twice making all, latterly off a 4lb lower mark; soft turf maybe wasn't ideal last time and he's considered back under Oisin Murphy (up for his Lingfield win). |

9st 11lb |
Twice runner-up here (with and without cheekpieces; beaten by Pablo Prince the final time) before disappointing at Wolverhampton; doesn't look straightforward and frustration may continue. |

27th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Ran in snatches but kept at it to push a well-treated winner close at Kempton (1m3f) and they were clear of the rest; still lightly raced and last time was his first go in cheekpieces; obvious contender. |

5th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Four course wins, including two over this trip, and he ran his best race for a while when third over C&D four weeks ago; each-way shout. |

3rd 7 (1) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Now 10lb below his last winning mark (here, 9.5f); few positives to take from his efforts this year, beaten in excess of 9l (seventh of ten; 25-1) over 7f here latest; difficult to envisage a revival. |
16/1 |

16th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Four-time course winner but has been out of form this winter; raced mainly at further and has something to prove back over 7f for the first time in five years. |

23rd Jul 2024 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Twice unplaced on the Kempton Polytrack (1m3f/1m4f) since returning in May, but just 2lb higher than when winning over C&D last November; shortlisted now returned here. |
10/1 |

12th Jun 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won here in 2021; most outings in 2023 came on turf and Tapeta, notably two wins (11.4f/1m4f) in the autumn; 22-1 when well held on reappearance here three weeks ago but probably needed the race; more interesting this time. |
5/1 |

7th 10 (6) |
22nd May 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Course winner in late 2021; most outings in 2023 came on turf and Tapeta, the most recent win coming when nipping clear at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in November; back up 3lb; needs to prove wellbeing back from break. |

24th Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Belatedly got off the mark when sporting a first-time hood (kept since) on good to soft over C&D in July; short-headed next time and ran respectably when coming from behind at Bath (heavy) on latest; each-way claims. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual C&D winner; has slipped to 6lb below his last winning mark (1m4f, Lingfield) and wasn't beaten far when having the run of the race under Rose Dawes at Wolverhampton (1m4f; third of seven, 7-2) last week; foolish to discount. |

Has seven wins on AW and is now 6lb lower than for the last of those last September; doesn't look ready to take advantage though. |

Eight-race maiden who has not finished closer than 6l to a winner and he didn't improve for the step up to 2m at Lingfield (AW; 11-1) last time; others preferred. |
