19th Feb 2024 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Returned to form with 28-1 third over C&D last month but he failed to back that up at Newcastle last Saturday and is now 0-11 since his last win ten months ago; down the list. |

28-1, returned to form when third of 11 in 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap 12 days ago; he needs to back it up now. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Had dropped 11lb lower than when last successful when beaten a neck at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) last month (third and fourth have won since); races off the same mark, but she didn't get home in one previous attempt over this far. |
5/1 |

2nd 4 (11) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Without a victory since 2023; off 21 months before a never-dangerous seventh of ten in 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap last month; she needs to take a major step forward. |
16/1 |
|
7th 8 (9) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
5-34, the latest win gained at Sandown (1m1f, good to soft, 2-1 favourite) in May 2023; soundly beaten when last in action at Chepstow (1m2f) in July 2024; she's nine now, so can only be monitored off a substantial absence. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 2m 2f 2y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
0-6 this year but has often run really well, finishing second at Goodwood (2m, heavy) last month and fourth of 22 in the Cesarewitch (2m2f, good to firm) nine days ago; she's a leading candidate today. |
2/5 |

11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
No win this year but she's run with credit every time except for in the Chester Cup; serious traffic problems when fifth of 20 off today's mark at Royal Ascot (2m4f, good to firm) on penultimate start; each-way player. |
12/1 |

2nd Sep 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Perhaps handicapped about right but was bang there in the 2m4f Ascot Stakes (good to firm) when last seen in June and today's softer surface will be welcomed; good chance. |

19th Mar 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Didn't get home behind Bungle Bay over C&D 17 days ago and his best efforts have come over 6f; could prove vulnerable late on once again. |
14/1 |

5th 11 (3) |
2nd Mar 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual 6f winner; bred to be as effective back at 7f and looks interesting on classified debut with reappearance under his belt. |

19th Feb 2024 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won twice off higher marks on Polytrack (6f) in the autumn of 2022 but he's drawn a blank since and has finished out the back at Chelmsford in his last two starts; down the list. |

All six wins have been on the AW; two fair runs at Newcastle in June/July but well beaten on last three runs on turf; plenty to prove. |

26th Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

15th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won a similar race at Southwell in January; best effort since when third of 14 at Newcastle 19 days ago (1m; blinkered first time); a danger to all if the headgear works so well a second time. |

26th Jul 2023 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Dual winner over 1m4f at Leicester last summer; didn't really take to hurdling in the autumn and is yet to hit top gear since returned to the Flat in May but his recent Nottingham fourth (1m6f, good) was a good step back in the right direction. |

8th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Didn't really take to hurdling in the autumn and returned to the Flat with two low-key runs in May/June; others have much less to prove. |
20/1 |

6th 7 (4) |
27th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 3f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Two wins over 1m4f at Leicester (good to firm/good to soft) last summer; didn't really take to hurdles in the autumn and had excuses when tailed off on last month's Doncaster return, but is still 4lb above his last winning mark so he needs to find a bit more; cheekpieces return. |

sweating, lost many lengths start, joined main group after 1f, pushed along and headway over 2f out, went fourth inside final 110yds, not reach leaders (jockey said gelding was slowly away) |
