4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
In prime form in July, winning twice (7f/1m) at Ayr, but the wheels seem to have come off since and he beat only one home on the same course last time; others preferred. |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Back in prime form in July, winning twice here (1m/7f), but two slightly disappointing efforts have followed and he probably needs to rebound with a career-best performance; effective on all ground. |
9/1 |

7th 4 (5) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Effective on fast and heavy ground; got back in the groove when winning twice at Ayr (1m/7f) in July but he was disappointing in hat-trick bid there last month; bit to prove again after that and he needs to bounce back near best. |

21st Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Well-beaten fifth in first two handicaps in May/June (1m2f, good) and returns from a break with something to prove, but he's been gelded since and that may help this lightly raced 3yo tap back into his earlier promise (including on soft/heavy ground); interesting contender. |
12/1 |

5th 2 (6) |
23rd Jun 2023 Good To Soft 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Opened his account in 1m2f Kempton novice in April but came in a well-held fifth on his handicap debut at Ripon (1m2f) following month; cheekpieces are reached for now with more required. |

pulled hard, led at fast pace, soon clear with one other, went clear after 3f, much reduced lead over 4f out |

13th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Promise in two novice events at around 1m on soft/heavy as a 2yo; was then absent for 570 days and has finished well beaten on both outings since (7f, 1m, tailed off on good to firm last time); should do better back on easier ground; up markedly in trip. |
20/1 |
|
8th 5 (4) |
23rd Jun 2024 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Placed in both starts in 2022; missed 2023 and seemed to need his reappearance run eight weeks ago; forecast faster ground is an unknown on handicap debut (raced only on soft/heavy). |

5th Apr 2023 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Beaten 7l or more in his three qualifying runs (at 1m) and doesn't look obviously well treated for his handicap debut; could do better at three though over this longer trip and the cheekpieces may also help. |
6/1 |

6th Oct 2022 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

cajoled along soon after start, midfield but in touch with leaders on inner, outpaced and pushed along 4f out, ridden 3f out, stayed on and went fourth over 1f out, no extra inside final furlong |

took keen hold, held up in last, going okay 4f out, shaken up and headway into midfield 3f out, soon pushed along and ridden, no impression from over 1f out |

slowly into stride, in rear, shaken up and still plenty to do when ran green over 3f out, soon outpaced, kept on from over 1f out, nearest finish |

18th May 2023 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Improved results in his three runs as a 2yo, making most when he took minor honours twice over 1m2f on Lingfield AW; withdrawn from a maiden last week when the ground was soft; makes handicap debut and should be open to progress as 3yo. |
6/1 |
|
5 (7) |
10th May 2023 Good To Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Got closer in each of his runs as a 2yo and his latest Lingfield conqueror (1m2f) wasn't far away from following up next time; connections have declined the opportunity to go handicapping off a BHA mark of 75 and others in here should be better than that level. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Industrious and usually dependable sort at 1m6f-2m2f; turf strike-rate is 1-20, however, and he was tailed off at Thirsk (good) on penultimate start, before he failed to shine at Newcastle's Northumberland Plate meeting (AW) for the third year in a row; not the percentage call. |
20/1 |

18th 5 (18) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Industrious and usually dependable sort at 1m6f-2m2f; turf strike-rate is 1-20 and he was tailed off at Thirsk last time; back to AW and he's 7-34 in this sphere, but he's not shone at this meeting (16th in the Plate, 12th in the Vase) in the last two years. |
25/1 |
|
12th 5 (2) |
31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Industrious and dependable sort at 1m6f-2m2f but turf strike-rate is 1-19; not discredited on latest start (1m5f) but others are preferred. |
