Ex-Richard Hannon; not at his best this year and although well handicapped as a result, has plenty to find on recent efforts; tongue-tie now tried. |

9st 10lb |
Now 2lb lower than when winning a 7f handicap here on New Year's Eve; also ran well at Southwell (6f) in February but his last three runs have been underwhelming; needs a full revival. |

Won a 7f AW handicap at Lingfield on New Year's Eve; also ran well at Southwell in February but his last two efforts have been disappointing; lightly raced on turf but fully effective on fast ground; new visor needs to turn things around. |

1st Jul 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Sole win was in a 2yo novice in 2022 and he's finished down the field in all seven runs for current yard; mark continues to fall but he was tailed off at Brighton (bled from nose) last time and has plenty to prove; reapplied blinkers replace cheekpieces. |
14/1 |

8th 2 (6) |
3rd Jun 2024 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Sole win was in a 2yo novice in 2022 and he's finished down the field in all six runs for current yard; mark continues to fall but he was beaten 8l at Chelmsford last month and needs to do much better on this step back up to 1m; cheekpieces reapplied. |
9/1 |
|
8th 2 (3) |
9th May 2024 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Novice winner over this trip in 2022 but hasn't added to tally and below best on three of last four starts; blinkers worn last twice now left off but still has a bit to prove. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
First visit here proved a winning one when taking handicap over this trip (good to firm) last May; flopped on his second go one month later and only bits and pieces of form since; career-low mark and cheekpieces (0-3) make a return after two-year absence. |
10/1 |
|
9th 5 (2) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
His last win was at Brighton (7f, goof to firm) last May but that was off 11lb higher and he's shown signs of a revival on Tapeta recently; should get a good tow into this race and could be dangerous back on turf. |
7/1 |
|
6th 2 (6) |
23rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won a Brighton handicap off 9lb higher last May but he's finished down the field in ten runs since; he wasn't beaten far over C&D ten days ago but overall record is now 3-38 and others are preferred. |
