15th Oct 2023 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Recorded a clearcut success on soft going at Windsor (1m) in the spring; respectable third on similar surface at this course (1m1f) most recently; has slipped back to an attractive mark and enters calculations. |

Similar type to Junkanoo, having recorded a clearcut success on soft going at Windsor (1m) in the spring; not disgraced over 1m1f three starts back; on a workable mark and looks one to consider. |

23rd Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Last run at Kempton saw him finish a close second off a 15lb higher mark and that was as recent as March; likely to exploit his drop in the weights at some point but perhaps in a less competitive race than this. |
12/1 |

19th Sep 2024 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Has looked on the downgrade in recent times, coming 16lb down the weights this year; hasn't looked to see out 1m2f the past twice, though, and a better showing wouldn't surprise back in the usual cheekpieces. |

Usually seen over 1m and a return to 1m2f ten days ago did not yield anything; 12lb lower than at start of the year but others have more pressing claims. |

Losing run on turf goes back to 2021 and his best form is at up to 1m2f; well held when favourite over that trip at Windsor recently and has much to prove back over 1m4f; yard also runs Beggarman. |

took keen hold, in touch with leaders, switched right and prominent against near rail over 4f out, shaken up 2f out, pushed along and ridden over 1f out, kept on and made strong challenge inside final furlong, led inside final 110yds, just did enough |

Record of 10-33 on AW features six wins at Wolverhampton, including in this race (off just 1lb lower) last year; close fourth at Lingfield for an encouraging start to his 2026 campaign; fighting chance. |

10th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |

Best known as a Wolverhampton specialist (six wins), but is 2-5 over C&D and the middle leg of his hat-trick early last year included this race off 3lb lower; interesting. |

28th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 3 |

18th Oct 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Effective on Polytrack and he's well handicapped on his form up to last autumn; however, he's run just twice this year and has been tailed off each time (May/August); major turnaround required. |

9st 8lb |
Won at Lingfield (7f, AW) in February and runner-up at Southwell (1m, AW) and Bath (1m, firm) in the spring; still looks on a workable mark but his form nosedived at Brighton last time and he needs to bounce back; one of three runners for Tony Carroll. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |

In the veteran stage now but the old man's been giving younger legs plenty of trouble this year, dead-heating at Lingfield (7f, AW) in February and placed on another five occasions; still in good heart judged on latest second at Bath (1m, firm) and this dual C&D winner can go well again. |

9st 7lb |
Picked up for 14,000gns after winning a Worcester hurdle (2m4f) for Shaun Lycett in the autumn; poor in two runs for this yard since and would want to see good support before considering him. |

One win each on Flat (2022 turf novice) and over hurdles (made all this September); left Shaun Lycett for 14,000gns before pulled up in a hurdle race seven weeks ago; some AW minor honours make this look a good mark. |

29th Sep 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Formerly a fairly useful Flat-racer and came good over hurdles at ninth attempt, making all in C&D handicap for Shaun Lycett this month; recently changed hands for 14,000gns; interesting to see what new stable can do with him. |
