22nd Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Won C&D handicap (good) at this meeting 12 months ago and followed up in Group 3 Gordon Stakes at Goodwood (1m4f, soft); campaign concluded with third to Continuous in the St Leger (1m6f, soft) and returned with near-miss over inadequate 1m2f in Group 3 Gordon Richards at Sandown (good to soft); disappointing at Newbury since but the Sandown effort firmly indicated he was set for a very good year, and he can play a leading role if bouncing back. |

5th 3 (7) |
18th May 2024 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Most progressive at three, winning Royal Ascot handicap and Group 3 Gordon at Goodwood (both 1m4f) before fine third in the St Leger (gelded after); excellent effort when only narrowly denied in 1m2f Sandown Group 3 on reappearance; the return to 1m4f looks sure to see him in a better light and he'll be tough to beat for a yard with good recent record in this. |

Won very similar C&D race to this last summer and was second in C&D handicaps on next two outings; has strong claims if judged on those efforts but needs to raise her game after ending 2024 with two below-par runs. |

7f win here in July came in a 0-50 classified event; solid efforts in handicaps on her next two starts but her form has cooled more recently; others preferred for win purposes. |

16th Aug 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
C&D winner in December on his third outing; suffered three heavy defeats in stronger handicaps this year (1m4f-1m6f) but he's been gelded since his latest start and this drop in class can help; not dismissed. |
12/1 |

5th 4 (5) |
30th Jun 2023 Good 1m 6f 115y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Progressed to win a Kempton novice (1m3f, AW) last December, but has been well beaten in both handicaps and was particularly poor on his return from 127 days off at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) this month, albeit he reportedly stumbled leaving the stalls; has enough to prove. |

No impact, including in this season's three handicaps and last two were over 1m6f; badly hampered early on the latest, so that can be forgiven. |

30th May 2023 Good To Firm 1m 5f 218y Class 5 |

Fair sixth in muddling race at Wetherby last time out (1m6f, good to soft) but has plenty to find overall and is 1lb out of the handicap. |
25/1 |

30th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Cut little ice in his three runs last autumn and it was the same story on handicap debut at Thirsk (1m4f, soft) early this month; dam 2m winner, so this extra distance could help but he needs to show something very new. |

13th Aug 2024 Soft 1m 4f 15y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Patchy campaign this season and needs to raise his game, but he's dropped down the weights and last year's best efforts came in blinkers, which go back on this evening (replacing cheekpieces); not discounted. |
14/1 |

5th 8 (4) |
21st Jul 2024 Good To Soft 1m 5f 218y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Yet to win (12 races) and not the easiest of rides but he's been on the premises plenty of times at 1m6f-2m, including when cheekpieces were installed at this track (claimer ridden) and Nottingham on last two outings; good each-way claims. |
6/1 |
|
6th 9 (11) |
6th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Yet to win and he isn't the easiest of rides but he's run some good races at 1m6f and improved for his reappearance when fourth at Redcar (good to firm; acts well on good) 14 days ago; not far away. |

Beat just one rival in three outings last autumn, coming in last of seven in 1m1f Redcar novice on his final run; plenty more from him is required on his seasonal/handicap debut. |

27th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
10st 6lb |
Sole win over hurdles came in a Clonmel handicap last June off 111; has slumped in the ratings and failed to exploit her reduced mark (97) when fifth at Clonmel 13 days ago; however, he is closely matched with Redwood Queen on running in a claimer at Tramore last month. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 116y |
11st 1lb |
Sole win over hurdles came in a C&D handicap last June off 111; has slumped in the ratings; potentially interesting despite having failed to feature in claiming races in his two 2026 starts; runs off 99, with a good claimer taking off 5lb into the bargain. |
9/2 |

Sole win over hurdles came in a 2m4f Clonmel handicap last June off 111; some fair efforts in defeat since; fourth in a Clonmel claimer in February; has a squeak if back to best. |

16th Mar 2024 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |

Maiden who's had valid excuses since headgear went on and is 3lb lower back from a two-month break; sat close to a strong pace down to 1m last time and holds claims in an open handicap. |
7/1 |

6th 9 (4) |
11th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |

Six-race maiden who has some encouraging form on the Tapeta at Newcastle, most recently shaping better than the bare result over 1m2f last week (made a challenge before fading late on); looks open to improvement back down in distance; interesting. |
