29th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Beaten half a length or less in his last two starts at Newmarket (1m2f/1m4f); has winning form on Tapeta (at Wolverhampton) and is 8lb lower than when last on the AW, but losing run up to 14; needs a bit more. |

9st 6lb |
Has won four middle-distance handicaps and latest was off 9lb higher at Chester (1m4f, good) last June; 0-13 since but he bounced back with a close call over 1m2f here last Friday and is a big player if he can repeat that form (due to be 2lb higher in future). |

10st 11lb |
Fair on the Flat but yet to make an impact over hurdles; brushed aside fairly easily after leading on final circuit at Plumpton (2m, good; refitted blinkers) this month; will need to show more tenacity here. |

14th May 2023 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |

Three French Flat wins and he's 0-30 in Britain, though placed on many occasions; shaped quite well on hurdling debut but twice tailed off since; risky but opening mark of 83 would look lenient if showing his best. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Took advantage of a reduced mark when scoring at Wolverhampton (9.4f; first-time cheekpieces) last month and he followed up with a dominant display on his return visit two weeks later; 7lb higher here but he remains well handicapped on his old form including a win over C&D; key player. |
11/4 |

1st 4 (4) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Caught the eye on penultimate start; justified market support over C&D subsequently (in newly applied cheekpieces), that his first win since September 2023; a 4lb rise looks fair, so he's entitled to be on the premises assuming the headgear continues to have the desired effect. |
2/1 |

6th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

No win since September 2023 (1m, Kempton; from 9lb higher); caught the eye making late headway (sixth; 16-1) over 8.5f here seven weeks ago; interesting to see if added cheekpieces can instigate a revival; market helpful. |

3rd Feb 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Winner off 3lb higher for Marco Botti on turf (1m2f) last summer but he struggled in final three runs for that yard and was the same story on his stable debut here in December; has plenty to prove and he needs a major revival back up in trip; tongue-tie removed. |

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. |

Made all in a small field here last summer (11.5f, good to firm) off an 11lb higher mark; record this season is patchy at best but this is a weak race and a revival wouldn't be out of the question; new headgear on. |

Won at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) in April and kept on for solid fourth at Brighton next time (1m2f, good to firm; unproven on slow ground); however, she's been below par the last twice and needs to get back on track. |

Last three wins have been on the AW and the latest was at Lingfield (1m4f) in April; that was in a small-field event but she's only 2lb higher here and takes a big drop back in grade after a tough assignment at Goodwood last time; not ruled out. |
