7th Apr 2025 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Thirsk (1m, good) last August on second start and followed up in Newcastle novice (1m, AW) in September; this unexposed 4yo has potential off his opening mark and he's firmly in calculations. |

Confirmed the promise of his Thirsk debut in July (7f, good to soft) by winning a 1m novice back there last month; improvement required to defy a penalty but it's not out of the question. |

Raced exclusively on AW; placed in four of his six starts, close second at Newcastle (1m) latest; holds a solid chance but some of these rivals have greater room for progress. |

15th Jan 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Switched to front-running the last twice, winning a novice event at Wolverhampton (easy task) then disappointing in C&D handicap; widest draw is not ideal if same tactics are attempted. |

Third in a competitive Newcastle handicap (7f; first-time cheekpieces) before comfortably making the most of a simple task back in novice company at Wolverhampton; looks on the upgrade. |

10th Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Pleasing debut here when third favourite behind a couple of useful rivals (1m) in August; ran to a similar level on Tapeta last time, when again shaping as though tonight's longer trip would be fine, and is one of a handful with realistic claims. |
4/1 |

4th 7 (9) |
10th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Green off the bridle but it was still a pleasing start to his career when fourth at Chelmsford 12 days ago (1m); the first two home in that maiden have a BHA rating of 92 so the form has some substance; interesting with improvement on the cards. |
5/1 |
|
4th 6 (6) |
29th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Half-brother to 7f AW/1m turf winner Monte Linas (RPR 90); dam 7f/1m winner (89), out of 1m5f winning half-sister to French 6.5f Group 3 2yo winner Perugina and Listed-placed 12.5f winner Sovana (dam of three Group winners); worth a second look on debut if market favourable. |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 135y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Gained a third win when beating Desert Shadow at Redcar (1m, good to firm) in May and he went down narrowly over that C&D (good; third has won since) four weeks ago; leading claims from an unchanged mark. |

2nd 3 (6) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Respectable effort when fourth of 12 at Newbury (1m, good to firm) this month and the return here makes him especially interesting given he is 2-2 over C&D; drying ground a positive. |
11/2 |

4th 1 (9) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Took full advantage of the drop into Class 4 company when readily seeing off five rivals at Redcar last week (1m, good to firm); penalised in a deeper race but he still commands serious respect. |

Won over C&D in March of 2025 off 11lb higher; 0-12 in the meantime and quiet so far this term. |

12th 9 (5) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
He's 9lb lower than when winning at Doncaster last March and may have needed his comeback run there this March, when mid-division; however, his form went the wrong way as last year developed and he needs to get back on track. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Drops back in trip/grade having never landed a blow in the Northumberland Vase last time; broadly consistent otherwise this term and won at Musselburgh (12.5f) in April; 4lb higher now, though. |
13/2 |

13th 15 (15) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Disappointing on penultimate start but in good form over 1m4f otherwise this year, with the first of those runs at this track; tried 2m twice last summer and ran well on first occasion despite racing freely; needs to raise his game again, though. |
22/1 |

4th 7 (6) |
31st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Disappointing behind Letsbefrank at Hamilton a fortnight ago but in good form otherwise this year, with two close seconds sandwiching a win at Musselburgh (1m4f, good); no surprise if he bounces back with a big performance. |

9st 5lb |
C&D winner off 1lb lower last July (good); best run this term when runner-up to a subsequent winner at Beverley last time (7.5f, good to firm; fifth has also won since); solid chance. |

2nd 11 (10) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |

Off the same mark as for his sole win last summer, over 1m at Doncaster; however, this season hasn't started at all well. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Gained last summer's breakthrough win over 1m and remains unexposed over this trip but finished down the field here (7f) on last month's reappearance and needs that run to have brought him on. |

Looks a poor maiden and he beat just two in 6f Ayr handicap 11 days ago; cheekpieces are reached for now and a tongue-tie is also refitted. |

28th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Today's handicap debut provides a first realistic opportunity and a market check is advised, but this 4yo has shown very little when massive odds on his first three starts (7f-1m3f). |
33/1 |

11th Jun 2025 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 5 |
