2nd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Heavy-ground winner in 2022 but not won since and mainly disappointing last year; may have needed his reappearance five weeks ago but needs to leave it well behind. |

Heavy ground winner in 2022 but not won since and mainly disappointing last year; 11lb lower than at start of last season but might be one to watch this time. |

19th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Signs of finding his level when going close at Hamilton (1m1f, good to firm); good family includes winners at 1m2f; if lasting out he'll go close. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
31st May 2023 Good To Firm 1m 1f 35y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Has not lived up to debut form, albeit with just three starts since; handicap, seasonal and AW debut at Newcastle last month failed to prove he stays 1m, but it's too early to write him off. |
15/2 |
|
5th 5 (3) |
13th Apr 2023 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Promise in three runs over shorter as a 2yo, albeit he failed to build on his good debut run at Haydock (6f, good); mixed messages for 1m on pedigree but still open to improvement; gelded over the winter. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Won over C&D (good) last summer and has run well on the AW here in her last three outings; still 3lb above her highest winning mark, but ought to put up another bold show. |
11/2 |
|
4th 4 (6) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Scored over 1m here in September and returned from six months off with a good fourth of 11 over C&D 16 days ago; well in the mix. |
8/1 |
|
4th 2 (2) |
14th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Resumed winning ways over 1m here in September and she signed off for 2025 with a good C&D second the following month; has gone well fresh too so she needs considering on her seasonal return. |

30th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
Made all to win a 7f classified stakes at Newcastle 11 days ago when wearing cheekpieces for the first time; below best in two previous runs over this trip (has won at 1m). |
5/1 |
|
1st 12 (5) |
19th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
No win since 2023 but he did record his best effort since returning from a 296-day break when second in 1m Southwell classified event 15 days ago; claims if in similar form with cheekpieces added. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 9 (2) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner in December 2023 (all three of his wins came in 2023); struggled on his first two starts since returning from a 296-day break but he ran better at Newcastle (1m, AW) 28 days ago; blinkers removed. |

1st 3 (8) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Races mainly on AW where he has six wins; 1-15 in this sphere and may be worth waiting until he returns to AW. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 3 (7) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Consistent spell under Ryan Kavanagh during the winter but resumes from a short break still on a career-high mark as a result (3lb above his highest successful rating); more likely than most to give his running, though, possibly from the front again. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 (7) |
29th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Dual course winner who has been running well since landing a handicap at Lingfield (1m, AW) in November; can go well again. |

9th Oct 2023 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
0-10 but has gone close twice over 1m2f and was also second over C&D in February, when on this mark; badly out of sorts on his last two starts for Charlie Johnston but not ruled out each-way. |

2nd Jan 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Finished second over C&D on debut and that's among the best form on offer; disappointing at Redcar and Southwell since but the return to this venue may have positive effect; not dismissed. |

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. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Failed to build on a decent fourth at Lingfield (1m2f) in February when behind Blue Rc at Newcastle (1m) on Good Friday but the fact he made all in this race off 8lb lower last year means a revival can't be discounted, particularly as he's well drawn to attack again; tongue-tied first time. |
13/2 |
|
8th 9 (5) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Quiet in Dubai in January but he returned to Britain with a good fourth at Lingfield (1m2f) five weeks ago; now 6lb lower than when winning the Thirsk Hunt Cup last May and he has the ability to feature. |
25/1 |
|
4th 4 (5) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Often front runs; below par in three outings at Meydan last month (including dirt) but well treated if a return to Britain sparks a revival having landed last year's Thirsk Hunt Cup off 6lb higher; Tapeta winner at the start of his career. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Disappointing Flat maiden who was well beaten when 66-1 for last month's handicap hurdle debut at Market Rasen (2m, good), where he raced too freely and jumped left throughout; blinkers added here; too risky. |
40/1 |
|
8th 5 |
2nd Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
17-race maiden who became disappointing on the Flat and hasn't exactly hit the ground running over hurdles, going down by between 17l and 24l in his qualifying races; clearly entitled to do better now handicapping but he's unconvincing. |
10/1 |
