31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Strong finish from rear secured the Chester Plate (2m2f, good) last May off 3lb higher and he also won over 1m4f on soft at Catterick in October; needs to leave his four efforts this season a long way behind him, however. |

17th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Strong finish from the rear secured the Chester Plate (2m2f, good) last May off 1lb higher than today and he also won over 1m4f on soft at Catterick in October; needs to leave his three efforts this season a long way behind him, latest when not faring nearly so well with the draw back in Chester Plate, and others have more pressing claims. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Strong finish from the rear secured this prize last year (good ground) off 1lb lower than today, but also from stall 4 compared to today's stall 16; also won over 1m4f on soft at Catterick in October; needs to leave his two efforts this season (1m4f, good) a long way behind him but this may be a much more favourable scenario if the draw does not scupper him. |

30th Dec 2022 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Best at 1m4f on the Flat, over which he posted an RPR of 88; well held on his hurdling debut at Kempton but then impressed at Fontwell in coming home 10l to the good (on good ground); should be thereabouts with his penalty. |

28th May 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Very well treated on some of last year's form for Adrian Keatley and seems versatile ground-wise but has not been firing on all cylinders in recent months. |

15th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Won a 2m maiden here and a 1m7f novice at Musselburgh in 2023; bit disappointing in handicaps at up to 3m last season but well handicapped as a result. |

26th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Disappointing favourite at Ascot (2m, soft) last month and something to prove after that, but this lightly raced 4yo was progressive previously with wins at Bath (11.6f, soft) and over this C&D (good), and perhaps the first-time tongue-tie will help him bounce back to form with a big run. |
15/8 |

5th 5 (4) |
28th Jul 2023 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Had wind and gelding operations and a change of stable last autumn; returned with improved efforts to win at Bath (11.6f, soft) in April and Newmarket (1m6f, good; ridden by 3lb claimer) in June, holding off Traila by a neck in the latter; up another 3lb but 2m looks well worth a go and he's a lightly raced 4yo who retains potential. |
2/1 |

1st 5 (7) |
24th Jun 2023 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Creditable third in a Newcastle handicap (1m4f, AW) on his final run for Michael Bell last season; had wind/gelding operations after that; well backed on his stable debut at Bath (11.6f, soft) in April and he stayed on well for a last-gasp win; 8lb higher on this step back up in grade but he's still lightly raced and is open to more progress at this new trip; respected. |

held up in rear, pushed along and headway 2f out, led and ridden over 1f out, went clear inside final furlong, eased towards finish |
3/1 |

2nd 2 (11) |
5th Jul 2023 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
1m2f winner (good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) last October, when with Kevin Ryan; below that level of form this season but his better efforts give him an each-way chance. |
