Won two in a row at Newcastle (1m, AW) in January and has dropped below his last winning mark, but he's struggled on his six runs since. |

19th May 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Four wins when trained by Iain Jardine, including two at Newcastle this January; hasn't shone in four runs for new stable though and hopes are pinned on the returning blinkers (he's been wearing a visor or cheekpieces) working the oracle. |

Has gone 0-17 since winning over C&D last March at 50-1; ran the odd fair race last year but trailed home last here three weeks ago. |

3rd Jul 2024 Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Free-going sort; C&D record of 1442057 includes a last of ten in this race in 2023 when rejecting the visor; fair seasonal return but latest flop makes it three last-place finishes from five most recent outings. |
16/1 |

7th 8 (4) |
15th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Fair comeback over C&D last weekend but she was allowed her own way and she's gone well fresh in the past; does like it here but rain would suit others better and Kieran O'Neill, up for her sole win, partners stablemate Tidal Storm. |
16/1 |
|
5th 10 (9) |
7th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Has gone well fresh before and is effectively off the same mark as when making all over C&D around this time last year; finished last season with a whimper but there's every chance she'll get her own way in front, in which case she could go well. |

awkward start, towards rear, pushed along over 2f out, bit short of room and switched right over 1f out, soon ridden and no impression |

12th Aug 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Triple-figure prices in each of seven starts and all to prove at these unfavourable weights on return from 12 months off. |
25/1 |
|
10th 8 (4) |
23rd Aug 2023 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Lightly raced 7yo who failed to beat a rival on both his starts last autumn; he's very hard to make a case for after an 11-month absence. |
