21st Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Last win came on AW in 2020; raced just eight times since, proving far from consistent; failed to beat a rival on latest start (wore hood); unappealing contender and yard has a much stronger chance with Ghaly. |

25th May 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Useful 7f handicapper in Britain and seemed to see out the 1m okay when a closing, eyecatching fifth at Meydan on his penultimate run (never dangerous over 7f there the final time); his tendency to start slowly continues to hold him back and this strong a handicap takes no prisoners, but the ability is there to take a hand. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Has a win over C&D but that was over four years ago; hasn't backed up an encouraging third at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) in March in two runs since but has dropped to a career-low mark so all is not lost. |

19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Four-time Polytrack winner who ran well below market expectations in two previous starts on Tapeta; back on his last successful mark but didn't build on a decent comeback effort last time. |

Resumed from four months off with a good third of 15 in 7f Doncaster handicap 15 days ago; must enter calculations off an unchanged mark. |

12th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Safely held in two valuable 7f handicaps on the Rowley Mile in May and needs to up his game today but it's worth noting he's now 3lb lower than when winning this race by a neck under Neil Callan a year ago (good to soft). |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Mostly creditable efforts in 2025 and he won at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) in August; Chester's extended 1m2f possibly stretched his stamina last time; could bounce back but as a 7yo he's more exposed than some of these. |
10/1 |

7th 3 (2) |
13th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Modest strike-rate of 3-37 but his last win was at Thirsk (7f) last month and he ran another good race when a close third at Newmarket (1m) last time; now goes into unknown territory at this trip but he ran well over 1m1f in July and he's not ruled out; acts on good to firm and good to soft. |

29th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has had more success on AW and his last turf win was in 2023; several bits of 2024 and 2025 turf form give him a good shout off this career-low mark but his more recent efforts are less encouraging. |

Beat Fierce by a neck when winning over C&D in March and he arrives here 7lb better off with his old rival; second run back from a summer break was better than the first and he should make a bold bid. |

10th Dec 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Fourth of 14 on second start for this yard at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) in October suggested the ability remained, but losing run up to 18 despite a sliding mark; not sure a return to sprinting is the answer. |

Three of his five wins have come here including twice over 1m this summer; failed to beat a rival off this 9lb higher mark at Goodwood (1m2f, good) last time and will be happier back under these conditions, but this looks a stiff task. |
