slowly into stride, raced in last, switched to near side over 3f out, headway over 1f out, ridden and led inside final furlong, stayed on |

13th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
4l winner on nursery debut over Chester's 7f but couldn't carry a penalty on the AW (8.6f) and was only fourth to Corriamo here last time; the winner might be the one open to most improvement over this far. |

ducked left start, took keen hold, in touch with leaders on inner, outpaced from 2f out, rallied and went fourth inside final furlong, not pace to challenge |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Started well for this yard but the wheels have come off lately, finishing last over C&D one month ago then finishing tailed off on AW last Monday; not easy to suggest after that. |
20/1 |

11th 1 (1) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
2-5 on AW, most recently at Lingfield (5f) in April off 5lb lower; beaten three times on turf since but can't be discounted back on AW despite going without any aids. |
11/2 |
|
7th 3 (1) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Back to his best since joining his current yard but he's shot up the weights and there have been some costly defeats to go with two AW wins; now 0-17 on turf, having pulled hard in a messy Bath affair last time, and will need a career-best effort to take this. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Both wins on soft/heavy ground over 7f in 2024; quite inconsistent since but did run respectably when fourth of 12 at Brighton (1m, good) 23 days ago; cheekpieces back on. |
6/1 |
|
4th 1 (4) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Not the most consistent but is well treated on his best form and drops into a 0-70 for the first time; worth a second look. |
12/1 |
|
10th 5 (6) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won twice on slow ground in the autumn of 2024; in and out in his three runs this year but his Leicester fourth last month (7f, good) brings him into the reckoning; a visor is now tried (ran well in one attempt in cheekpieces); further rainfall would aid his chance. |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Two soft-ground wins (7.4f/1m) in 2024, but he's drawn a blank since and has struggled on the Flat and over hurdles in his last four starts; has plenty to prove and yard also runs Evelyn's Phoenix. |
16/1 |

8th 7 (4) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Two soft-ground wins (7.4f/1m) in 2024 but he's drawn a blank since and has been well held on the Flat and over hurdles in his last three starts; bit to prove and he needs a big turnaround back in this sphere; cheekpieces reapplied. |
16/1 |

4th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Two low-grade Flat wins in 2024 (7.5f-1m); well beaten on recent Market Rasen hurdles debut (2m, juvenile maiden; 150-1); connections waste no time by dropping him into a claimer; difficult to identify a positive angle. |

18th Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Won in small field at Ffos Las (6f, heavy) in August; creditable third, despite meeting trouble, at Redcar (good) most recently and ties in closely with Forteleza on that effort; major player. |

25th Sep 2024 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |

towards rear, headway over 2f out, switched right over 1f out, soon short of room and bumped, went third inside final 110yds, kept on |
12/1 |

6th 7 (1) |
4th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
From a yard in form and improved to win in small field at Ffos Las (6f, heavy) last week, leading late on; penalised 6lb and will need another personal best but that's possible and he'll certainly handle the ground. |

24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Struggled initially in handicaps but, having dropped down the weights, she has been more competitive on her last four outings; each-way claims in open race. |
9/2 |
|
4th 1 (2) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Generally disappointing since winning a novice at Ffos Las (7.5f, good) last June but she's been placed in two of her last three starts, including at Kempton (1m, AW) nine days ago; drops back in trip and back down in grade slightly; can go well. |
100/30 |
|
3rd 6 (10) |
19th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Generally disappointing since last summer's Ffos Las novice win (7.3f, good) but comes here after making the frame in her last two turf handicaps (7.3f/1m) and has possibilities if that form transfers to Polytrack. |

4th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Poor strike-rate and he hasn't been at his best since finishing second at Southwell in October; slipping down the weights but others arrive in better form. |
12/1 |
|
10th 10 (1) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Just one win from his 21 starts but he was twice a runner-up over C&D last autumn and he is now 4lb lower than for the second of those efforts; recent runs need bettering if he is to take this though. |
16/1 |
|
6th 6 (4) |
1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Just one win from 17 starts (5.5f, good to firm; off 3lb lower mark) but he comes here on the back of two good second-place finishes at Southwell; clear of the third on latter occasion and a 2lb rise justified; should be in the thick of it. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Went close over C&D in March and won at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) 13 days later; not at the same level on his three starts since, particularly on turf on last two outings, but the return to Tapeta could prompt a revival. |
7/1 |

8th 14 (13) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
7f-1m AW winner and 7f turf winner (good) last year when 6lb lower; well below par on both AW and turf on his last two starts and he does have a little to prove after that. |
