16th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Prominent racer; made all in a small field at Brighton in April when rated 3lb higher; patchy since and has stamina to prove. |

24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Prominent racer; the pick of his form in the first half of the year brings him right into the reckoning but more recent efforts haven't quite been at that level; dropping into a Class 6 will help. |

Yet to encounter ground softer than good; placed at Yarmouth last Sunday; registered his most recent success off this mark over C&D in April; interesting back here. |

Conditions no problem and he has run creditably on his last two visits here, the latest last week; shouldn't be too far away. |

Showed he can be competitive from his reduced mark when a close fourth over C&D last month and bit better than the result (hampered towards finish) when sixth of 14 at Yarmouth since; on the shortlist. |

5th Apr 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Has a modest 1-16 strike-rate and she hasn't been at her best on AW on her two runs this year; however, she's now 4lb lower than when a commanding winner over C&D (good to firm) last August and she'll be a major player if rediscovering some form. |

19th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Short prices for first two runs, spread 18 months apart, and evidently felt capable of better than he's shown thus far; fascinating runner off a lowly opening mark and well worth tracking in the market back from another absence. |
6/1 |

10th 3 (12) |
15th Dec 2023 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
He hasn't lived up to market billing in either start, albeit it was notable that he was so strong in the market prior to his return from a 571-day absence at Wolverhampton last month; fluffed the start there and he'll need to be sharper away if he's to come out on top; clearly thought capable of better though. |
8/1 |

22nd Nov 2023 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Half-brother to seven-time AW winner Tyger Bay; sent off favourite sole start at Doncaster 571 days ago (5f, good to firm) but, after travelling well, he couldn't muster much at the business end; interesting, particularly if the money comes again, with hood fitted. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Three wins (1m) in 2024 but he's been well held in last ten starts including when fourth behind Desiderata at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) last month; that wasn't bad but he needs to raise his game back in a handicap. |
20/1 |

16th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
A three-time 1m scorer in 2024 but only poor form of late and he was soon ridden when fourth of six in 7f Chelmsford handicap in January; he needs to take a step forward. |
16/1 |

4th 6 (1) |
15th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Won three times over 1m in 2024, including over C&D; third at Southwell (1m, AW) last April but he's not been in the same form in four starts since; drops back to 7f and others are preferred. |

Hasn't shown anything over hurdles in her last three races and Flat form is none too inspiring, including four handicaps at up to 1m2f. |

14th Dec 2024 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
15-race maiden but ran well in AW handicaps at Lingfield (6f; final run for Robert Cowell) and Kempton (7f; stable debut) in the autumn; not so good twice since, however, and now drops back to 5f. |
