18th Oct 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Won twice on turf last season and he has run some good races in defeat this time around; last couple of efforts need forgiving; dropping into a 0-60 should help but he still has something to prove on AW. |

5th Oct 2023 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Won twice on turf last season and he has run some good races in defeat this time around; he wasn't at his best at Nottingham nine days ago but this is a more realistic assignment; no reason why he won't be fully effective on AW in time. |
6/1 |

Has won on good and soft; another sound effort in defeat over this far at Leicester two weeks ago but looks vulnerable in this higher grade. |

5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
3-34, with latest win last November on Lingfield Polytrack; shot back to some form when beaten a neck off career-low mark in six-runner race on turf at Leicester (1m4f) on latest outing and he's notched up a few placed efforts at this track, so he's one to consider back up 2lb. |
100/30 |

10th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 5 |

3-33 and has shown little in two runs since switching to current yard; has dropped to a career-low mark but needs to raise his game. |

24th Jan 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Disappointed at Wolverhampton four weeks ago but she had been running well in defeat beforehand; stamina for this trip not yet assured and a tongue tie needs to have a positive effect. |

27th Dec 2023 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |

Five wins last year, two of them at this track over the extended 1m (stays 1m2f); placed on her last three starts and Tommie Jakes' 7lb claim will be an asset today; unlikely to be too far away. |

Hurdle winner for Alan King in early 2023 but he had mixed form for that yard and has been rather down on his luck for this one so far, on the AW and over hurdles. |

Unplaced in 13 attempts over a variety of trips; slipping to a workable mark but others push stronger claims, particularly after he was last of eight over C&D in the 8.30 yesterday. |

15th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

First-time cheekpieces seemed to help when fourth of 11 over 1m4f here last month but upping him to 2m wasn't the answer next time and he didn't do enough over C&D since to think this is his trip either; work to do. |

17th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Front-runner who was progressive last year (over 1m6f, 1m5f here and 2m) and finished either first or second in all five of those races, but he wasn't seen after July; a shorter break (178 days) didn't prevent a win first time out last term and he should be retained in serious calculations. |
9/1 |

1 (11) |
25th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner who was progressive on turf this year (1m6f/1m5f, good/good to soft) prior to winning the Northumberland Plate consolation race at Newcastle (AW) four weeks ago on his first crack at 2m; it was a big field that day and a 5lb rise may not stop him here. |
