12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Two handicap wins here this season (3m, good) and he took the rise in grade in his stride to win the Grade 2 Cleeve Hurdle over C&D (soft) in January; the 7l runner-up Impose Toi was giving him 6lb and perhaps wasn't at his best, but this highly progressive 7yo was impressive nevertheless; his profile is not dissimilar to that of Paisley Park, who won the Cleeve for this yard in 2019 before landing this race; very much one to be interested in. |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Won big-field handicap here (3m, good) in October and bounced back from lesser run at Haydock to win handicap over this C&D (good) on New Year's Day; won a bumper on soft ground; further improvement needed now up in grade but trainer enjoyed lots of success in this race with Paisley Park and this progressive 7yo is an each-way possible at a track he obviously relishes. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 208y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Dual novice winner (2m5f/2m4f) towards end of 2024 and made the frame in Doncaster Grade 2 (3m, good to soft) after the turn of the year; not disgraced when upped to Grade 1 level at the Festival here in March and probably still has potential; shortlisted. |

14th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Failed in his hat-trick bid when made favourite for the Grade 2 River Don at Doncaster (3m) but, while that was his first attempt over this far, he shaped as though a more truly run race would have benefited him; like many in here, the potential is there for a career best. |
