9st 10lb |
Won off 6lb higher at Epsom (8.5f, good) last August but he's been out sorts since then and has been beaten 12l or more in his three runs for new yard; AW record now stands at 0-9 and he has a lot to prove. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Eight-time winner on AW and 0-24 on turf but he went very close off his lower turf mark at Nottingham (8.5f, good to firm) one week ago; same mark here and must have claims in search of his turf breakthrough. |
15/8 |

26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Last nine starts on AW; ended a losing run when scoring at Lingfield (1m) in December but that set up for his closing style and he's not really threatened in four runs since, latterly at Kempton (7f) 113 days ago; can race off his lower turf mark today but others are more persuasive. |

Took record to 0-29 when chasing home Billy McGarry over C&D last month; enjoyed a relatively soft lead that day and is likely vulnerable for win purposes again. |

4th Jul 2023 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |

Wins have all come in high summer and he offered more last time without seeing out 1m2f; stable form could be better but he returns to turf on a fair mark. |

Won over 7f on turf last summer and is now 4lb lower but made low-key seasonal reappearance a fortnight ago and has stamina to prove over new trip today. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Five C&D wins include this race for the last two years; not particularly convincing on 2025 form but has a good chance off current mark provided he's back on song. |
14/1 |

7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Five C&D wins, three of those in cheekpieces on soft; has struggled for form this season (0-6), making only minimal inroads from the rear at Epsom (7f; eighth of 12; 50-1) latest; competes from an easing mark. |
12/1 |

8th 12 (9) |
11th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Two C&D wins earlier in career; conditions have been against him during the hot summer but he won the two most recent soft-ground races he contested, over 7f at Brighton last autumn, so the more rain the better; yard has won the last four runnings. |

Latest effort was much better than his reappearance; on a workable mark and has won here but could do with rain; has a better strike-rate on soft/heavy than anything faster. |

Sole win in the last three years came on AW in January; last four efforts don't suggest he's about the regain the winning thread but this switch to classified grade may help. |
