With a leading trainer and he's dropped to a dangerous mark; could get back on track at some stage and a market check is advised, but he's struggled on his three outings this season. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Regressive 9yo who ought to have been favoured by the soft ground when never-dangerous fourth (about 19l behind Dusky Days) here (2m6f) last month; on a very good mark now but needs to stage a revival. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Took step back in right direction when respectable fifth at Worcester (2m7f, good) this month and has the services of James Bowen again here but this regressive 9yo is patently not the force of old; others preferred. |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Won this race on good ground under Becky Smith a year ago and defends his crown from a good mark but recent Flat/hurdling form has been underwhelming and conditions are not in his favour today. |
33/1 |

9th 10 (9) |
5th Jul 2025 Soft 1m 3f 39y Class 5 |

Better known as a jumper and yet recent efforts in that scene haven't been great, and he was only midfield over C&D last month. |

4th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
High-mileage 9yo who exploited some help from the handicapper when holding on well to score at Newcastle (2m4f, soft) on Boxing Day; can probably cope with today's 2lb higher mark but is not one to rely upon heavily. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Well-beaten when back over hurdles last month but stayed on well from poor position to go close under Natasha Cookson at Kelso (2m5f, good) ten days ago and looks well worth a crack at 3m. |

16th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Won small-field Flat marathon off much reduced mark last month but has not run over hurdles since summer 2023 and his current ability in this sphere is hard to gauge; best suited by good or faster ground. |

6th Sep 2023 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Has run well in both starts since joining this stable, the first of them when second to Fenna's Loss over C&D in June; possibly needs a shade more for another win but likelier than some to give it a good shot. |
9/1 |

22nd Jul 2023 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Signed off for Neil Mulholland with some below-par efforts in the spring but gave good account when clear second to Fenna's Lass on stable debut at Hexham (2m4f, good) four weeks ago; still unexposed over this sort of trip; a possible if in similar form again here. |

Ran quite well to be fourth in this last year when 7lb higher; however, he hasn't won since 2023 and the questions are mounting up. |

15th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |

On a losing run but went close at Market Rasen (2m5f) in June and was not beaten far in valuable Summer Plate over that C&D (again on good) last month; will be fine on this left-handed track; no surprise if he features. |
