19th Jan 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Back to form with a bang when rewarding good support over C&D in October and even better when placed here twice since; first--time cheekpieces worn when third 12 days are retained; another prominent showing is likely. |

Back to form with a bang when rewarding good support over C&D in October and bettered that form when chasing home the reopposing Aussie Banker here the following month; meets that rival on 7lb better terms now; cheekpieces added; makes the shortlist. |

Six wins on turf and 0-9 on the AW, though was only beaten a head here (8.6f) last October and is now 3lb lower; each-way claims. |

Six-time turf winner but his last success was in August 2023; returned to form with a close call at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in October but diminishing returns since and was only fourth of five on his Bath reappearance (1m, firm) last month; others preferred. |

Made all in small-field novice handicap hurdle at Southwell (2m4f, heavy; comfortably off 6lb lower) four weeks ago, adding to his Flat wins; possibilities provided he's just as effective over fences; tongue-tie applied. |

2nd Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |

Won over C&D in 2023 but better known as a 7f performer now; safely held over that trip here on last two appearances and needs to up his game. |

7th 2 (2) |
19th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won over C&D in October before a good second at Southwell the following month; no impact after a slow start here on Boxing Day but that was against a pace bias and he still looks on a workable mark; dangerous if he can bounce back. |

21st Dec 2022 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Won twice this year and on the premises on last two outings; huge majority of his AW races have been on Polytrack but he's 2-2 at Wolverhampton, albeit in a claimer and seller (2019 and 2021); stamina beyond 1m (unconvincing in both attempts) may be more of a worry. |

Sole win came in 2020 when with previous stable; made the frame on debut for this yard but has not built on that effort; however, revival is possible off current mark. |

28th Jan 2023 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |

Well treated on his best 7f-1m form for Hughie Morrison but hasn't clicked yet for this yard, again down the field at Kempton last time; falling in the weights but needs a revival. |

4th Jan 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Well treated on his best 7f-1m Polytrack form for Hughie Morrison but has got progressively worse in three runs since joining this stable; 5f was probably too sharp last time but others still have less to prove. |

Last run at Kempton saw him finish a close second off a 15lb higher mark and that was as recent as March; likely to exploit his drop in the weights at some point but perhaps in a less competitive race than this. |

19th Sep 2024 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |

Has looked on the downgrade in recent times, coming 16lb down the weights this year; hasn't looked to see out 1m2f the past twice, though, and a better showing wouldn't surprise back in the usual cheekpieces. |

16th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Usually seen over 1m and a return to 1m2f ten days ago did not yield anything; 12lb lower than at start of the year but others have more pressing claims. |

Won two fast-ground 1m handicaps on turf last summer and better than ever on her seasonal return when arriving late to land a fillies' handicap (1m) on Lingfield AW; drawn wide when never dangerous after a 5lb rise at Kempton; this mark could be an issue. |

Win and a close second to his name from four runs over C&D and returns to Tapeta on a career-low mark following a patchy turf campaign; can pull hard and will need some luck from a wide stall in first-time cheekpieces but he's potentially well treated. |
