26th May 2025 Good 2m 2f 72y |
11st 8lb |
Useful Flat performer, six wins, including two Listed and the Copper Horse Handicap at Royal Ascot, rated 108 at his peak; maiden hurdle winner 12 months ago, best effort when third behind subsequent Grade 1 winner Irancy in a 2m Grade 2 novice hurdle at Fairyhouse at Easter; struggled over a longer tip in a Punchestown Grade 1. |

2nd May 2025 Yielding 2m 4f 140y |
11st 12lb |
Useful Flat performer who got his act together over hurdles when third (beaten roughly 2l) in the Grade 2 novice hurdle at Fairyhouse last month, form that received a timely form boost on Tuesday with Grade 1 success for Irancy; quite possibly more to come at this trip (half-brother's best form at 2m4f) and not one to put a line through. |

29th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 7lb |
Four-time winner, including twice on the AW in UK; held in this grade at Windsor last time but can do better back to this surface. |
13/2 |

6th 4 (1) |
26th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Record of 4-9; posted his best RPR by some way when coming clear in a 1m2f AW handicap in June before reportedly unsuited by the good to soft ground when favourite for York's John Smith's Cup (also raced freely); the potential is there to make a mark at Listed level. |
10/1 |

17th 4 (4) |
15th Jul 2023 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Runner-up on final two starts last season (1m2f/1m3f, good/AW) and improved form when readily winning six-runner Class 3 at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) last month; unraced on slow ground; this is much tougher but this lightly raced 4yo is ahead of the handicapper under a 5lb penalty; one to consider. |

23rd Aug 2023 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Second once over 1m2f on good last August but generally speaking he has been much more interesting on AW, including when runner-up once at 2m; no impact in either sphere on last five starts (given wind surgery after third) so there are major doubts to go alongside his career-low mark. |
20/1 |
|
5th 5 (4) |
27th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Not at his best on his last four starts but took step back in right direction at Kempton (1m3f, AW) last time on first run since wind surgery, when the steady gallop was a negative; today's extra furlong is a plus and he might not be far away, having continued to drop down the weights. |
10/1 |
|
7th 4 (3) |
12th Jul 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Won two of his first three starts on Polytrack (1m/1m2f) in the winter of 2021/22; 0-13 since, but placed off higher marks three times here (1m3f/2m) in that period; returns from a second wind operation and place claims at least if rediscovering his best form. |

18th Nov 2022 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |

Has made all to win two handicaps here since June and he reportedly bled when below par last time; on a tough mark even if back to his best. |

31st Oct 2022 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 2 |

Made all to win two of his last three starts, both at this track; 6lb higher than for last time and he will need another step forward to come out on top. |

Four Flat wins but he hasn't achieved much at big prices in two handicap hurdles, at 2m1f and 2m7f; no great appeal this time, either. |

5th Oct 2023 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Her losing run goes back 15 races to November 2021 but she's run pretty well the last twice, most recently over 1m5f on the Lingfield Polytrack, and races off another career-low mark this evening; could be thereabouts. |
5/1 |

Arrives on a lengthy losing run but she recorded her best effort of the season when third of 14 to Fox Flame in 1m4f Southwell handicap 19 days ago, faring best of those held up; player eased 1lb now. |

27th Dec 2022 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Completed an AW four-timer early this year; not in the same form in three runs since but conditions won't be an issue (2-2 over C&D) and Adam Kirby takes over today; the betting should provide clues. |

7th Nov 2022 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Completed an AW four-timer early this year; not in the same form in three runs since, dropping just 2lb; 2-2 over C&D but he's on a stiffer mark now and possibly a shade too high in the weights. |

31st Oct 2022 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 2 |

Reeled off a four-timer early in the year (two over C&D); may have needed his recent return from a 223-day absence and he's one to take seriously. |

Five turf wins, most recently here over 1m2f last October off 70; yet to hit form this season however and remains opposable. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 0y |

Five turf wins include a 1m4f course success during a solid 2025 campaign; below his best in two outings this term; mid-field behind today's Perry Mason on the first occasion. |

8th May 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 4f 183y |

Five turf wins include last year at the Curragh and when bolting up off 70 at Leopardstown in October; didn't count on seasonal return at the Curragh over a short enough trip; drops in class and upped to more suitable trip so has to be considered. |
