23rd Jun 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Third in a 1m selling handicap here last month but beaten about 6l, and remains that bit more compelling at the 7f of his two career successes, the latest on Tapeta before Christmas; down to a new career-low mark. |
16/1 |

5th 7 (3) |
1st Jun 2023 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
He's 2lb lower than when winning at Newcastle (7f, AW) last December and didn't run badly when third of seven in selling handicap at Redcar (1m) last time; however, he needs something extra here and is untested beyond 1m. |

Largely below par on the AW this winter and again returned to turf in a change of headgear when sixth in 7f Catterick handicap eight days ago; handily weighted now so he can't be totally dismissed. |

A bit in and out since winning off 4lb higher at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) a year ago, twice finishing runner-up in five starts in 0-50 classified company this year; record of 3-51 a concern and she isn't well drawn. |

10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Revived by the drop to 0-50 classified events, runner-up over 7f at Wolverhampton and then C&D before seeing off six rivals in a 1m event here last week; that was a notably weak race, even for the grade, and he has a bit more on his plate as he bids to defy a penalty. |
5/2 |
|
1st 3 (7) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
No win since 2024 and all his succes has come over 7f; that said, he is effective at this trip and arrives on the back of a pair of runner-up finishes at this level; unlikely to be found a better opportunity to register a first 1m success. |

21st Jun 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
5lb better off with Beast Of Burden for a C&D defeat of just over 1l last month, and last week's fine Hamilton second was a third podium finish from as many starts since; losing run mounting up, but claims still good. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 4 (12) |
14th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |

Sandwiched between Beast Of Burden and Zegos Surprise when second at Newcastle early last month and has backed that effort up twice since (one C&D), albeit held behind Giselles Izzy latest; obvious place claims. |
9/1 |

3rd 1 (1) |
1st Jun 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Poor strike-rate and on a long losing run but he is fully effective over C&D and he comes here on the back of two seconds last month; drawn on the outside and may have to wait a bit longer to get off the mark for this yard. |

Missed a chunk of last year and has slid to a competitive mark for his current yard; just behind Southbank over C&D a month ago and is one to consider back in headgear (second-time blinkers). |
5/1 |
|
3rd 9 (10) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Down the field on first four starts for Chelsea Banham but fared better when fifth in a Wolverhampton classified (6f; heavily backed) last month; needs to build on that effort but it will be interesting to see whether he's strong in the betting again. |
6/1 |
|
5th 11 (2) |
24th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won a C&D handicap in December 2024, recording an RPR of 71 in the process; unfancied and has finished down the field in four runs for Chelsea Banham this winter; eligible for this 0-50 classified as a result; a return to form is likely to be foretold by the betting. |

Eight-race maiden but was placed several times for Robyn Brisland and he was beaten less than 2l on his stable debut here (7f) last month; that was promising under a positive ride after 11 months off and he looks interesting on this return to sprinting; first-time cheekpieces. |

14th Feb 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Latest three wins at 6f/7f in early 2023 but he confirmed he's perfectly effective over C&D when running well against a next-time winner in January (first-time visor); another sound effort back over 7f since; solid claims for in-form yard. |

2nd 7 (9) |

Five wins here including two over this trip; one of his better recent efforts when second of 11 in a 0-50 classified event over 1m here (first-time visor) 12 days ago; could go well but a losing run of 21 tempers enthusiasm. |

Five-time course winner in 2020 (four over this trip) but he hasn't shown that much since returning from an absence, weakening to finish ninth of ten over C&D a week ago; first-time blinkers (replacing regular cheekpieces) need to make a big difference. |
