Won four times in Britain for Ed Bethell; poor form in three turf runs in Ireland this season; failed to land a blow at Newcastle three days ago; the jury is out at present. |

9st 8lb |
One of his four wins for earlier trainers came over C&D; poor form in three turf runs in Ireland this season but he ran off 68 on the first of them and gets in here off just 54; interesting to see if there is any market support with headgear returning. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Didn't get the breaks at Beverley (5f, good to firm) on penultimate start, but she pounced late to continue her consistent spell at Redcar (6f, good; from 3lb lower) subsequently, justifying favouritism; is well drawn in stall 12, so should have a positive role to play. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Scored at Wetherby (5.5, good to firm) last month and did well to finish fifth at Beverley (5f, good to firm) on Tuesday, having encountered all sorts of traffic; will be suited by this return to 6f; likely contender. |

Proved resurgent with neck success at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) most recently and remains competitively treated on peak form, which features a C&D win; likely player from the inside draw. |

Ran creditably off 2lb higher back here last Friday, beaten just over 1l and taking record over C&D to 121214; gained most recent success off this mark at Pontefract in May; very solid chance. |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Runner-up in the Group 2 Gimcrack Stakes as a 2yo; nothing like so good now but that wasn't a barrier to success in the corresponding event 12 months ago; 7lb lower this time around and he didn't run badly at Thirsk 17 days ago; headgear left off today. |

Respectable third at Beverley last time; very attractively weighted, as he's back on last winning mark and Mia Nicholls takes off a bonus 5lb; one to consider. |

3rd 8 (3) |
14th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Dual 5f winner on good to firm and latest was in a 14-runner race at Catterick in June; only 1lb higher than for that success but he's been well below form in last two starts and needs to get back near best. |

8th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 6 |

Clear best among this season's efforts when second at Musselburgh in June and Thirsk in July; perhaps has a bit more to prove these days when on firmer than good, but she's one to take seriously. |

5th 3 (4) |
2nd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |

Similar type to Glory Fighter, being a dual C&D winner in higher grades; clear second, off just 2lb lower, at Thirsk (5f) most recently; major contender. |

2nd 4 (5) |
17th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Her form has gone the wrong way but she's dropped down the weights accordingly and ran well when second at Musselburgh (5f, good) two starts ago; a wide draw excuses her lesser latest effort at Pontefract; has won on soft/good to soft, and in these reapplied cheekpieces, and she's not ruled out. |

Down the field at Pontefract last time but in pretty good form previously, finishing third at Catterick (5f, good to soft) two starts ago, and he could have a part to play in a first-time tongue-tie. |
