Five-time winner in Britain at up to 1m2f (rating peaked at 93); not at the same level for this yard, including over hurdles; handicapper giving him every chance but others preferred. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Minor honours over 1m3f/1m4f in his two Flat handicaps this term (his last runs for Alan King) prior to his creditable second 19 days ago for new yard over hurdles; should be a serious player. |
3/1 |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 2 |

Formerly with Alan King; creditable second at Warwick on latest hurdles start (2m, good) and has since finished third in a 1m4f handicap at Salisbury; stable debut; each-way chance. |

19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Capable in competitive races for the Coles, including on good to firm, but some rain would have helped and best efforts at 1m and 1m1f; left the Coles for 55,000gns in the autumn; best watched on debut for new yard. |
50/1 |

25th Sep 2024 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
ducked left start, in touch with leaders, took keen hold 6f out, headway against near rail over 2f out, soon short of room, went second inside final furlong, kept on well |
4/1 |

26th 18 (3) |
19th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Useful handicapper whose form includes fourth-place finishes in the 2023 Britannia over C&D and this year's Spring Cup; ran poorly last time but may rebound in reapplied blinkers, having performed well in both attempts in this headgear. |

26th Dec 2022 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Came closest to winning when beaten a head at Doncaster (6f, heavy) on penultimate outing and finished a fair fourth of seven on nursery debut at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) four weeks ago; the trip seemed far enough for him there, though, so this slightly stiffer test is a concern; stable also runs Optiva Star. |
9/2 |

4th 3 (8) |
28th Nov 2022 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Put up his best effort so far when beaten a head (clear of the third) at Doncaster (6f, heavy) this month (fourth horse has won since); closely related to a couple of AW winners, but not sure the return to this longer trip is in his favour on nursery debut; stable also runs Night Life. |

11th Jan 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Kept busy as a 2yo, winning a 6f nursery at Wolverhampton in August off a 3lb lower mark; not at her very best on her last three starts but return to sprinting is in her favour. |
25/1 |

8th 3 (1) |
14th Dec 2022 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) in August; has made the frame in eight of her 13 other starts, but she finished last of five on penultimate outing and below form over C&D on latest; peak efforts at 6f. |
20/1 |

28th Nov 2022 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Typically tough sort from the stable who won at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) in August; has made the frame in eight of her 12 other starts, but she finished last of five back at Wolverhampton (7f) last time and has never attempted this far before. |

13-race maiden on the Flat; best efforts were when placed over 1m2f on good to soft/heavy last season; disappointing since and was beaten in an AW seller last month. |

27th Jun 2023 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Signed off for John and Thady Gosden with low-grade AW win in March; about 11l behind Max Of Stars when last of four finishers on recent stable/hurdle debut at Hexham (2m, good) but positives can still be drawn from that performance; sports refitted tongue-tie and first-time visor. |
9/2 |

3rd Jun 2023 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Didn't live up to his very good Flat pedigree when with Godolphin but managed to win AW handicap in March (1m3f; RPR 69); changed hands for £16,000 soon afterwards and has travelled from South Wales to make hurdling debut for stable with 6-20 strike-rate here. |
3/1 |

1st 4 (7) |
14th Mar 2023 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Five-race maiden who is seemingly one of the yard's lesser lights, only fourth in low-grade handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f; tongue-tie/blinkers fitted) when last seen; however, pedigree suggests this longer trip may squeeze improvement out of him; not dismissed. |

Seven-race maiden who has failed to progress over 5f-1m since handicapping; hopes appear to rest on today's return to sprinting having a positive effect. |
