28th Jun 2024 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Made a winning debut over hurdles at Sedgefield (2m) in 2022 but his form has been in and out since and he was pulled up on his return over 2m6f here 30 days ago; others are much preferred. |

Unlikely that slow ground has suited him the last twice and he was runner-up on good ground in a different race at this meeting 12 months ago; can go well, as good to soft would be suitable. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Won the 2024 Northumberland Plate (2m, AW) and also a Group 3 handicap in Australia (1m4f, good) last October; usually held up and he came from the back when seventh of 20 in this race last year; whether he's well enough handicapped to win this time round remains to be seen but he's shown enough in his two British starts this summer to demand each-way respect. |

12th Jul 2025 Good 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Won last season's Northumberland Plate (2m, AW) and also a Group 3 handicap in Australia (1m4f, good) last October; some fair efforts in Meydan earlier this year, and also in the Northumberland Plate a fortnight ago following a break, but he needs to raise his game to take this. |

28th Jun 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Usually runs well at Newcastle, where he won this race last year in good style; took a big prize in Australia last October and struck up a solid sequence over the winter; absent 119 days and 12lb higher than 12 months ago, which surely demands a career best, but needs respect. |

25th Nov 2022 Good 2m 3f 88y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Runner-up on bumper debut but has tended to refuse to settle since switched to hurdling; saddle slipped when pulled up in early stages of recent handicap debut; first-time hood might help but remains risky. |

Doesn't win too often on the Flat these days but he has been placed on his last two starts, chasing home Seraphic at Chelmsford four weeks ago (1m2f); each-way claims again. |

Prolific winning hurdler who opened AW account with clear win in amateur riders' race at Chelmsford in June; returned to the Flat with two below-par runs at Kempton this month, though, and has only dropped 1lb. |
