31st Aug 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won over C&D last season and began this campaign with some very respectable efforts but has looked out of sorts on both outings this month and now has questions to answer; swaps blinkers for refitted visor. |

27th Jul 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Four-time winner but very opposable on her modest form for current yard and the new headgear combination will need to help in a big way. |

5th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Four-time winner but her last turf success was in July 2022 and she's been out of sorts in four runs for current yard; hood is now removed and she needs a major revival back in trip. |

24th Mar 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Returns from a short break on a career-low mark having struggled in three runs in the winter; won for cheekpieces first going on and again for them being refitted last autumn, so has that in his favour, and is well suited by switchback tracks. |
20/1 |

12th Feb 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Versatile trip-wise and on a competitive mark, but has been disappointing on either side of a break in his last two races. |

29th Jan 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Had 6f AW wins last March and September and he remains effective at 7f; five starts for this yard, running with credit until a lesser show from the front last month; solid each-way candidate if he bounces straight back. |

26th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Fair Flat form to win at Ffos Las (1m, good to soft) in August 2022 but most of his other eight races were modest form; left Tom Dascombe for 5,500gns that October and not seen since; wore cheekpieces last four starts but tongue-tie (worn earlier) now returns along with a first-time hood. |

unruly beforehand, reluctant to load, ducked right start and bumped rival start, led, headed and pressed leader with one circuit to go, lost second and prominent over 4f out, ridden over 2f out, weakened final furlong |

10st 1lb |
Has been a spectacular success on turf this year, with seven wins including six under Molly Gun; had tough assignment in the November handicap last time but he needs to bounce back after that 17l defeat and he's 1-24 on AW. |

3rd Oct 2022 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Placed twice in June but he quickly went off the boil and he hasn't been revitalised by a switch of yard on his last two starts; tongue-tie left off today; others appeal more. |

May well have been flattered in a small field on turf in the summer and all other runs have been poor; only holds outside claims back from three months off. |

2nd Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Some creditable efforts this year but he's still a maiden after 17 starts and was last of six over C&D last time; not the percentage call. |

2nd Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |

0-16 and although only beaten 2l into fourth of seven over C&D (good) in April, he didn't appear comfortable on the track; stable also runs Dequinto. |

15th May 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Placed over 7f and 1m2f (penultimate start) on AW; reasonably consistent; kept on for fourth at Brighton (1m, good) latest; back up in trip again and, if proving he handles slower ground, he has each-way potential. |
7/1 |
