15th Oct 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
1-17 here, the win coming off this mark over this trip in June last year; some fair efforts on turf this season and 1m2f would have been too far on his return to this venue a fortnight ago, but others are still more solid; stable also runs Wheres The Crumpet. |

1st Oct 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Course winner (1m, June 2023); consistent over 7f-1m1f lately, shaping as if in need of a greater stamina test when third over 7f at Catterick (soft); head carriage isn't always alluring, but he is worth another go over 1m2f; stablemate of Wheres The Crumpet. |

20th Jan 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Ended a lengthy losing run when scoring at Dundalk (1m, Polytrack) last month but he was always out the back in his follow-up bid here (7f) on Saturday; now steps back up in trip but he has something to prove again on this quick turnaround. |

Two Flat wins last autumn (both on heavy) but hasn't achieved much over hurdles yet, finishing last on latest run at Catterick. |

25th Jan 2023 Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Three-time Flat winner, most recently in heavy-ground seller in October (1m2f; RPR 74); unexposed in this sphere but she was well held when unseating at the last on her handicap hurdle debut at Sedgefield (2m1f, soft) 12 days ago; needs to find improvement. |

13th Jan 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Three-time Flat winner, most recently in heavy-ground seller in October (1m2f; RPR 74); safely held when fourth of seven in maiden hurdle at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) the following month but remains very unexposed in this sphere; interesting. |

10th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Six of his seven wins have been on AW and yet to win beyond 8.5f; second of 11 at Pontefract (1m, good) ten days ago where he stayed on to suggest this longer trip should suit. |

30th Apr 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |

Probably better on the AW but won on turf for David O'Meara in July 2021 (6f, good); good second over 1m at Newcastle two runs back and not beaten far when seventh of 13 at Thirsk last week (7f, good to firm). |

9st 2lb |
A dual 1m/1m2f turf scorer in the summer and not seen to best effect when tenth in 1m2f Chelmsford handicap nine days ago, helping set a strong pace; he can't be discounted off a 3lb lower mark. |

20th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |
10st 6lb |
Two wins this season and close third at Beverley (1m2f, heavy) last month; latest run was also on heavy when below form at Ayr (off his highest mark for a long time) but he's one to consider. |
11/1 |
|
7th 12 (7) |
12th Oct 2023 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Close third at Beverley (1m2f, heavy) last month and won comfortably at Hamilton (8.3f, good to soft) next time; only fourth of seven when unpenalised back at Hamilton (8.3f, soft) last Monday and a new 6lb higher mark has now kicked in, but he's not ruled out in view of his penultimate form. |
12/1 |
|
4th 7 (6) |
2nd Oct 2023 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Has done his winning in Class 6; however, he's ahead of the assessor, having escaped a penalty for last week's comfortable success in apprentice event over C&D (good to soft); strong chance off the same mark. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |

Well beaten on both starts this year (3m1f/2m3f) and makes no appeal from 10lb out of the handicap. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 34y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
1-66, that a 150-1 shock at Stratford (3m4f) in April 2024; nearly as many letters as numbers in his form figures since January 2025, tailed off (suffered from heat stress) on return to action at Cartmel three weeks ago; competes from 9lb out of the handicap. |

Approaching two years since he last showed any form to speak of, and has a lot to prove from 9lb out of the weights this time. |
