11th Mar 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has form in better races than this but he's on a losing run now and failed to benefit from a drop to this level at Southwell (6f) last month; needs revival back over 7f on course debut. |

Losing run up to 16, but he has winning form over C&D and drops to this level for the first time; not beaten far the last twice and a major player on these terms; cheekpieces removed. |

Had looked exposed but the drop back to 6f saw him land a 6f Class 5 event at Lingfield 11 days ago; only 2lb higher and although he's drawn wide, he is likely to be dropped in; could rate higher as a sprinter. |

First 7f win at Newmarket in May; just 1-22 on the AW but this surface suits and he was unlucky in his sole C&D run, when runner-up in September, and looks well worth another go back over this trip. |

All bar one of his seven wins has come over 6f, but he has finished runner-up in both goes over this trip including here; still 6lb above his last winning mark, though, so needs to find a bit more. |

4-29; runner-up off this mark at Wolverhampton (7f; beaten a neck) in February; in rear throughout at York (6f; 40-1) on return from a three-month break; this is slightly easier (Class 5) and Ethan Tindall takes off a handy 5lb. |

Landed a 7f turf win at Doncaster (good to firm) last summer and close second at Wolverhampton (7f) on latest start in February; back from a 12-week break with his stable among the winners but he's done all his winning at 7f. |

Veteran with 18 wins on his CV, including over C&D; last success was from the front at Redcar (6f, good to firm) in May but he's been well held in both runs since; bit to prove again but has possibilities if he can bounce back. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
He has a much better strike-rate on AW than turf and was well beaten over C&D last time; however, prior to that he was second of six at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) and is not written off today. |
9/1 |

5th 5 (5) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Eight AW wins but just one on turf, at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) last May; no match for well-treated reviver there 18 days ago but he saw the race out nicely to take a late second; can play a part. |
13/2 |

Scored at Chelmsford (6f) in December and not so bad as his recent form figures suggests, challenging wide when ninth in 6f Southwell handicap last month; this C&D winner is not out of things. |

All three wins on Tapeta, the latest over 5f here a year ago; now 6lb lower, but he has finished out of the frame in all eight starts since that success so doubts over whether he can take advantage. |

10th Nov 2023 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Form dipped sharply the last twice, so needs to bounce back in a major way; however, looks difficult to dismiss, having scored over C&D (off 3lb lower) on last AW appearance. |

20th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Smart earlier in career, when acting on soft; revived since wind surgery, winning on AW then a luckless third at Beverley (5f, good); however, he finished nearer last than first at Ayr since and left on the same mark. |

A switch of headgear saw him end a losing run when making most in a big-field handicap over C&D last month; not in the same form when third at Southwell 16 days ago; no surprise to see him bounce back. |

Responded well to a change of headgear when making all in a 17-runner handicap at Thirsk 12 days ago (6f, good); 6lb higher back on AW and he's not the only pace influence in the field. |

Won three times (5f/6f) on the AW last autumn/winter and he's equally good on turf; however, he's not known for his reliability and his last two efforts have been poor ones; bit to prove after an absence. |

Belatedly added to her 2021 nursery win with narrow success at Southwell (6f; first-time tongue-tie) last month; this race is much more competitive, though, and she needs to prove she can cope with the drop back to 5f. |

Pipped So Smart in the final strides at Chepstow in July (5f, good to soft) and he's 2lb better off with that rival today; subsequent Leicester run (6f) less convincing but returning to a stiff 5f should suit, especially with a fast pace looking assured. |

Better with each of his three runs back from almost a year off, latterly on his first crack at this trip a month ago; that gave something to build on off the same mark. |
