23rd May 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Capable of useful form on Flat and over jumps; however, hasn't scored under this code since 2022 and needs to improve on his 2025 AW efforts; admittedly this 8yo may benefit from today's drop back in class. |

Fine servant to his team but hasn't got his head in front since winning a four-runner chase in late 2023; 33-1 and never dangerous back on the Flat three weeks ago at Kempton (2m). |

26th Apr 2025 Good 3m 4f 146y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
5lb out of the handicap; 9yo whose career has contained plenty of surprises and performing so manfully in 3m handicap chases on good ground at Ascot and this track on his last two starts is arguably one of them; that's nowhere near his old hurdles form but he's been sticking on as if his next reinvention could be as a stayer. |

9yo who is somewhat mercurial but he's run pretty well in defeat the last twice here (2m7f, heavy; hurdles) and Ascot (3m, good; fences); goes well at Sandown and drops back down in grade today; could be involved. |

23rd Jun 2023 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Switch to the Flat last year worked out well when he was second in this race on Flat handicap debut and won at Glorious Goodwood (1m1f, again on good to firm; 5lb higher today) next time; well held on both starts this year but latest was nevertheless a step back in the right direction; not dismissed. |

17th May 2023 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |

Switching to the Flat last year worked out very well, notably when winning at Glorious Goodwood (1m1f) but he also ran well in two 1m4f handicaps; however, well beaten on reappearance despite starting second favourite. |

24th Apr 2023 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Talented hurdler who tackled the Flat last year and won a Glorious Goodwood handicap (1m1f, good to firm); close third there last October (1m4f, good to soft) when last seen and can be in the mix if at the top of his game. |

20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Losing run stretches back to July 2023 but he ended 2025 in good form and his reappearance at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) 18 days ago was a positive one; stepping back up in distance is a positive but he could do with the ground drying out. |

Serial winner in his younger days but been dry in almost three years; does have a comeback spring victory to his name but all other wins came in the second half of the year and he may need this at his age back from five months off. |

27th Sep 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 3 |
10st 4lb |
Improved middle-distance handicapper in 2022, on turf and AW, including C&D; not picked up again this year and way below form at Ascot last time but at least he's 7lb lower than when reappearing in a valuable C&D handicap in April; not ruled out back on AW; regular tongue-tie discarded. |

12th Aug 2023 Soft 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Improvement peaked with his win in this race last year (good to firm); just 1lb higher today and he was a respectable third on soft ground at Ripon on latest outing, with his tongue tied for the second time, so he needs a second look. |

28th Jan 2024 Good 3m 0f 84y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
One-time very useful Flat performer who won twice over hurdles early in 2021; fourth at Haydock (2m3f, soft) last March but pulled up in November (25-1) when next seen; goes beyond 2m5f for first time. |

26th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 2m 2f 111y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
One-time useful Flat performer who has won over hurdles; however, seems past his best and doesn't look solid on 2022/2023 form (both codes); absent since Haydock fourth in March; best watched unless the market suggests a big run is expected. |

1st Oct 2023 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Creditable third in City And Suburban Handicap over C&D (soft) in April and now 6lb lower but has very mixed record for new stable this season and it's hard to know what to expect from him after last month's poor AW run. |
8/1 |

13th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 2 |

Inconsistent results for new stable this term; respectable second of four at Goodwood (1m4f) most recently but now returns to a deeper field and is 0-5 on AW; not certain to back up latest effort. |

21st May 2026 Soft 2m 0f 45y Class 5 |

His mark continues to tumble and he's one to watch in the betting in reapplied cheekpieces with the slow ground in his favour; however, this 12yo has very much struggled on his four starts since last June. |

13th Sep 2025 Good 1m 7f 196y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Sixth in 2022 Chester Cup (sole visit); well handicapped on best 2024 form; now an 11yo, well beaten on final outing last season and his only start this term (June); the latter was on good ground, whereas it's softer (preferably soft or heavy) which has suited him best for a long time now. |
