9st 8lb |
Regular visitor to Pontefract with three wins and three seconds from 12 outings; however, his most recent efforts were a well-held third of four to Yorkindness over C&D and a tailed-off last of seven over 2m2f so he needs to get back on track. |

21st Aug 2023 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Has done her winning on the Flat (2m soft-ground handicaps) but there have been promising signs over hurdles; too keen when well beaten in her latest handicap at Lingfield eight months ago; only had four starts in this discipline and open to improvement now with Dan Skelton. |
13/8 |

5th 6 |
5th Dec 2022 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won two handicaps at Catterick (2m, soft) in late summer and ran creditably in defeat last time; they were on the Flat but she's also of interest based on her three minor honours from three attempts over hurdles, most recently in a 2m handicap at Sandown last December; needs a look. |

Ex-French mare who was again beaten a fair way at Pontefract last time when having Vintage Valley behind over 2m5.6f; is on a competitive mark now though. |
12/1 |

24th Apr 2023 Good 2m 5f 139y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Fair fourth over 2m2f here (good to soft) last October and now 4lb lower; however, she was well beaten by the first two when third at Redcar (2m, soft) a fortnight ago when fit from hurdling; others appeal more. |
12/1 |

3rd 2 (2) |
10th Apr 2023 Soft 1m 7f 217y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
1-23 in France and 0-7 in Britain; hurdling hasn't worked out (refused to race on penultimate appearance, tailed off latest) and her one piece of solid handicap form last season is not enough to persuade. |

20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 17y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Shed his maiden tag in the corresponding race in 2021 (good to soft) and he has added a further four wins, the last three in consecutive renewals of a 2m handicap at Newmarket; chased home a stablemate in this race last year after a six-month absence; back from eight months off today and perhaps vulnerable to younger legs. |
10/1 |

6 (4) |
18th Sep 2025 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Course winner (extended 2m5f) who was third in this last year; form figures this term read 2123, the win coming at Newmarket (2m, good to firm) in June; solid. |
3/1 |
|
2 (4) |
26th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
In good form this season, winning comprehensively at Newmarket (2m, good to firm) in June before 9l second to unexposed winner at Yarmouth (1m6f, good to firm); the return to 2m is in his favour and he's a key player. |

10th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Began the season with two heavy defeats but he bounced back to form when scoring at Redcar a fortnight ago (1m6f, good to firm; cheekpieces back on); consistency hasn't been his strong suit so no guarantee he'll be in the same form; non-runner at Thirsk yesterday. |

Sole win came at Doncaster (2m Class 5, good to firm) in April 2022, although he did also go close at Thirsk (2m) later in the season; bit to prove after finishing down the field in his two outings this year. |

2nd May 2024 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Well handicapped on his best form and he returned from a lengthy absence with a fair fourth of 11 at Southwell (1m6f) last month; could be dangerous if he can build on that but a strike-rate of 1-29 is off-putting. |
