All five wins have came at Chelmsford's Polytrack; on a mounting losing run but didn't fare too badly when fourth of 11 at Southwell (7f) ten days ago. |

It's now 18 starts since his last victory and he came in only ninth of 12 in 6f Kempton handicap last month; others are preferred. |

Five AW wins, all at Chelmsford (7f-1m, Polytrack); on a 17-race losing run and needs to be much better than on his last three starts. |

Broke duck over 8.6f here and another decent run to be fourth on his return visit; Kempton last time was disappointing but he's hard to rule out; having his first run over this far which might not be a bad thing. |

Twice ran well on Polytrack in October, including winning a Kempton handicap (7f), but modest of late including at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) on Friday; visor now given a go, but the draw hasn't been kind. |

Low-grade eight-race maiden; some promise this year but his last two runs were short of his best; not solid. |

1st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Returned from break with low-key AW run last month and now unplaced in all seven starts but he still has possibilities from his lowly mark if that recent outing has brought him on. |
10/1 |

4th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Signs of life since handicapping and started favourite for a similar race round Chelmsford when last seen five months ago; low mileage compared to the rest of these and is one of the more interesting contenders. |

3rd 7 (12) |
16th Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
In good form in the spring, following his Chelmsford win in May with another at Yarmouth 19 days later (both 7f); below par the last twice (1m) and now reverts to sprinting; drawn wide; Oisin Murphy booked. |
7/1 |

8th 4 (3) |
8th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Took him a while to get off the mark, but he eventually scored over 7f at Chelmsford (AW) and Brighton (good) in May; still 5lb higher than for the latest of those, but good to soft ground may not have suited at Ffos Las (1m) last time and possibilities if he can bounce back. |

4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
All 24 of his races have been on AW (won three of them) but he's finished down the field in two starts this summer, including over C&D 34 days ago; bit to prove. |
10/1 |

7 (10) |
1st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Below par at Chelmsford last month but that was his first outing since finishing third over C&D in January and he could strip fitter now. |
8/1 |
