17th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Big prices and out of the frame in three starts since returning in April, albeit he met trouble when finishing in midfield in the Carlisle Bell (7.7f, soft) last month; 4lb lower than for the latest of two wins in April last year; interesting. |

25th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Two wins last April (1m, AW/soft) and he's 1lb lower than when last successful; the return to slow turf could also be a plus; however, he's failed to shine on either outing this season and has something to prove. |

11th May 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
7yo who has an impressive 8-28 strike-rate and is effective on Tapeta; he may have needed his comeback run at Newmarket last month but was beaten a long way at 66-1, and he was also below par last May/July on his final two outings last season; plenty to prove. |

4th Oct 2023 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Both wins have come on Polytrack (1m2f/1m4f) but he acts on soft ground (ran once on heavy); 0-11 on grass but he may have needed his latest start, when absent three months and representing a new stable; competitive mark judged on best turf/AW efforts. |

21st Jan 2023 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Unexposed sort who has raced only four times, showing clear promise twice on Polytrack (6f/7f) prior to lesser efforts on Tapeta/turf; may be capable of improvement returned to this surface; interesting. |

held up in last, went second over 4f out, dropped to last and ridden 3f out, weakened 2f out (trainer could offer no explanation for the poor form shown) |

16th May 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Did her racing for Karl Burke (picked up for £8,000 out of a seller) over shorter; finished lame on her comeback; drying weather would help but she'd be hard to recommend even then. |

21st Apr 2023 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Did her racing for Karl Burke, from whom she was picked up out of a seller (beaten-favourite) for £8,000 last autumn, over shorter; stamina would be a worry on the forecast ground on comeback (well beaten the only time she's run on going slower than good). |
12/1 |

2nd 5 (5) |
11th Oct 2022 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

midfield, pushed along and headway 3f out, ridden and outpaced 2f out, rallied 1f out, kept on well final 110yds (vet said filly lost her right fore shoe) |
