15th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Hard to recommend on recent efforts, but has dropped 7lb lower than when gaining his second C&D success back in February; worth a second look with a visor given a try, especially if attracting support. |

26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Won at Kempton (1m4f, AW) in February but he's not fired in three starts since July and seems out of sorts at present; only of interest with market support. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
This year's win was on Polytrack at Kempton (1m4f) in February and he's 2lb lower today, having gone off the boil in his two runs this summer; has never won beyond 1m4f and he last ran on ground softer than good in 2021. |

11st 7lb |
Won on fast ground at Ripon (1m2f) and Lingfield (11.6f) in June and he ran into a major improver when fourth in a Class 2 event at Beverley last time; probably still has some margin for error off this mark but he's not ruled out on this drop back in grade. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Won first three handicaps for new yard on AW and turf (1m-1m2f) by emphatic margins but he couldn't defy a penalty in October and was a further 5lb higher when soundly beaten in November; now has to show he can cope with current mark; regular cheekpieces left off. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |

Ridden last three years by Alice Bond; 3-3 for Martin Dunne with his wins over 9.4f at Wolverhampton, 1m2f at Brighton and 8.6f at Wolverhampton, with varied tactics but all in good style; 4lb penalty and just six days off but that latest run was career-best form and this 7yo is on the march. |

Multiple AW winner who should give his running but may struggle to defy current mark (career-high one) and reverse placings with Paradias; finished about 2l behind that rival in this contest 12 months ago and at Wolverhampton latest start. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Both wins on all AW but runner-up three times on testing turf; has a reduced mark but that's as a result of him being off for 595 days; the betting should help guide to expectations. |
14/1 |
|
2nd 12 (13) |
26th Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Both wins were AW but best turf results were on soft/heavy; latest start (following two good AW runs) wasn't one of them, and that was also on soft, but he's been second and first in his two races under Frederick Tett. |
9/1 |

4 (14) |
1st Oct 2024 Soft 1m 5f 11y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Has done well in recent weeks, winning and finishing runner-up on the Polytrack at Lingfield (2m); feasibly weighted - 3lb above last winning mark - and, while he's yet to score on turf (0-6), he has shown he acts on soft and heavy ground; plenty of positives. |

27th Aug 2023 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Emphatic winner of this race 12 months ago and followed up on her return the following month; those wins were off 2lb and 8lb higher marks respectively so handicapped to threaten if able to rediscover some form with the headgear (sported for last three runs) now removed. |
13/2 |
|
8th 6 (6) |
16th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Triple C&D winner who was a clear second back at this track (1m2f, good to soft; second-time visor) two weeks ago; that was behind a handicap blot who has won again since and this return to fast ground is no problem; dangerous with cheekpieces now tried. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 1 (3) |
1st Aug 2023 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |

Three C&D wins all came in late summer, including two for Isobel Francis last year, and she offered more in a first-time visor (retained) recently; holds decent claims on that down 2lb. |

Regressive; most racing over shorter and didn't achieve much in two previous tries over 1m4f; pulled hard in first-time cheekpieces (removed) last time and has it to prove for a yard also responsible for The Charmer. |
