5th 1 (5) |
29th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Front-runner; pipped on the post - his third solid run in a row - at Sandown (1m6f Class 3, good) on penultimate start; did too much to soon back on the AW at Wolverhampton next time and, even over this shorter trip, those forcing tactics are tough to deploy at Newcastle; near career-best required. |
5/1 |

9th 8 (2) |
7th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Front-runner; just one win to his name but he's been banging at the door of late, missing out by a nose at Sandown (1m6f, good) 18 days ago; this doesn't look overloaded with pace and his rivals would be wise not to give him too much rope. |
8/1 |

2nd 13 (3) |
20th Aug 2023 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 4lb |
Unraced on softer than good; won at Kempton (1m3f, AW) last September in his second handicap; surged back to form when narrowly beaten third at Newbury (1m2f; amateurs) in June and made most when very good second of seven at Windsor (11.4f) seven weeks ago; into new territory over this trip but has stamina on the dam's side. |
10/1 |

2nd 6 (7) |
2nd Jul 2023 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Won at Kempton (1m3f, AW) last September in his second handicap; right out of form afterwards as 3yo but shaped encouragingly on reappearance and built on that when a very close, never-nearer third of 12 at Newbury (1m2f, good; amateurs) on latest outing; in the mix. |
6/1 |
