4th 7 (9) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Nothing wrong with the form of his C&D win in March but he has struggled since, including after wind surgery in May; tongue-tie added for the first time and cheekpieces replace blinkers; not discounted. |
13/2 |

9 (12) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Can make the running as when gaining his sole success at Newcastle (5f, AW) in March, but his three efforts since returning to turf have been underwhelming; 1lb lower than for his win, but still has enough to prove. |
20/1 |

7th 11 (6) |
24th Jul 2025 Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Made all in a Newcastle handicap (5f, AW) in March but he's been disappointing in both runs since, including after wind surgery at Pontefract two weeks ago; blinkers are now added and he has quite a bit to prove again back up in trip. |
16/1 |

8th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Had wind surgery since 6f defeat two months ago; made all at Newcastle (5f, AW) in only other start this year; low-mileage 3yo who remains unexposed over this trip. |
9/2 |

5th 2 (5) |
4th May 2025 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Shaped well at York on his third 2yo start (6f, soft); fluffed his lines on his nursery debut in December but showed himself to be well handicapped when winning a strong race for the grade at Newcastle in March (5f); 3lb rise underestimates that form and he remains capable of better; has plenty of speed but should be fine at this trip. |
7/4 |
