1st Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
His C&D win in February was achieved off a 10lb higher mark; out of sorts more recently though and others look safer. |

2nd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
All nine wins over 6f including three here; 8lb below his last winning mark, but attempts this far for only the second time on his 64th start and didn't prove his stamina in the first. |

He was winning for the ninth time in his career when scoring at Kempton in February (made most); quiet on turf this summer and opposable despite a reduced mark. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Trainer off the mark in the week with another who was formerly under the charge of Stuart Kittow; this three-time AW winner made it 0-10 on turf when some way off the front three on comeback (won first time out last season); needs a deal more. |
12/1 |

4th 9 (3) |
13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Winning reappearance on AW in 2025 and there's other evidence that shows he goes well fresh; however, he's 0-9 on turf and is hard to weigh up, having left Stuart Kittow since some so-so runs in the autumn. |
10/1 |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |

Largely consistent record on AW features four wins, including one over C&D last October; placed twice at Kempton since returned to this sphere; solid claims. |

9st 10lb |
First 7f win at Newmarket in May; just 1-22 on the AW but this surface suits and he was unlucky in his sole C&D run, when runner-up in September, and looks well worth another go back over this trip. |

All bar one of his seven wins has come over 6f, but he has finished runner-up in both goes over this trip including here; still 6lb above his last winning mark, though, so needs to find a bit more. |

Justified favouritism in Hamilton event (6f, good to soft) last month, opening his account at 12th attempt; may remain competitive, having gone back up just 2lb. |

Showed promise last summer in novice/maiden races; has tumbled down the weights and he's one to watch in the betting now back from a break, but he struggled on his four starts earlier this year; plenty to prove. |

Nosed ahead in the final strides to beat Down To The Kid in C&D event three weeks ago, taking record at Southwell to 3-5 and strike-rate under Hector Crouch to 5-8; with those stats he's one for the shortlist. |

21st Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Can front-run; three of his four wins have been at this track but he's been disappointing since his C&D win in October; still 3lb higher than for that last success and he needs to turn things around. |
7/1 |

6th 3 (6) |
15th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Can front-run; three of his four wins have been at this track (6f/1m), with the most recent coming in October; below his best when fourth at Southwell (1m, AW) last time but that was his first start for 75 days and he may come on for it; can be competitive back to 7f. |

11 wins, the latest off basement mark over C&D in January; largely consistent since and may benefit from this drop back in trip, having raced too freely when fourth over 7f here on latest outing; back from two-month break. |
11/2 |

4th 5 (5) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

Ready win here (6f) in January; generally held his form since and Monday's low-key effort at Wolverhampton is excusable as he saw no daylight in the home straight. |
