10th Feb 2023 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Pulled up in two hurdles last summer but he returned to the Flat for new yard with a Newcastle win (1m) last month followed by a close call at Wolverhampton (8.6f); his progress stalled when a well-held fifth on Tapeta last time but he still looks feasibly treated on his penultimate form and his first win came on Polytrack; dangerous if he can bounce back at this new trip. |

5th 8 (8) |
25th Jan 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Pulled up in two hurdles last summer but much better back on AW Flat for excellent new stable in recent weeks, winning over C&D before narrowly denied on follow-up bid at Wolverhampton a week ago; races from a 3lb lower mark than at Wolverhampton so his claims are obvious. |

2nd Apr 2024 Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Can race freely but has responded well to blinkers, winning two of his three starts in this headgear (all on AW); up 7lb for the latest but that was quite decisive from off the pace and this could also be run to suit; 1m with cut underfoot is fine. |

Tends to race too freely but seemed to respond well to first-time blinkers when winning off reduced mark at Southwell (7f) last month; ought to have been suited by the return to 1m when very disappointing joint-favourite here two weeks ago but no surprise if he bounces back quickly. |

Has recorded the majority of his wins on Newcastle AW; below par over C&D ten days ago, failing to build on his Hamilton effort; still hasn't scored on turf since 2022. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |

Handy sort who is 1-1 here and ran well returned to turf when beaten a short head and a neck into third of eight at Hamilton (1m, good) a fortnight ago; ground faster than good probably not ideal, though. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Again no sign of the tongue-tie he wore for most wins; two runs this season were his first on turf since June 2024 and he needs to return to February's AW levels. |
14/1 |

4th 5 (9) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 12lb |
Again no sign of the tongue-tie worn for most wins as he has a rare run away from the AW; bit better at Lingfield recently on his second run for this yard but needs more back on turf. |
12/1 |

6th 9 (10) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

Goes back to the blinkers worn for both Newcastle wins, latterly off 3lb lower, for Iain Jardine in the winter but again no sign of the usual tongue-tie; big price and well held for his new yard on turf a few weeks ago. |

9th Feb 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |

Little doubt he has the ability to win races off this mark but his style of racing makes him a hostage to fortune; in form but this isn't sure to be run to suit him ideally either. |
5/1 |

6th 3 (3) |
12th Jan 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
The hood has had a positive effect and he's arguably been an unlucky loser over 7f here the last twice; didn't look to see out this trip in one previous attempt but has been shaping as though worth another try and holds leading claims. |

1st Jan 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Six-time course winner who was a good third over C&D on his penultimate run and he had an excuse when returned to 1m4f here last time; now drops back in trip and has possibilities if he gets a good pace and some luck. |
12/1 |

8th 4 (5) |
8th Dec 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Won in April and has mostly run respectably since; familiar face here, including with seven wins and nine seconds, but in a 68-race career he's only once (well beaten at 1m4f in 2019) been beyond 1m2f. |
8/1 |

3rd 1 (10) |
19th Nov 2023 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

On an 11-race losing run but he's a seven-time course winner (1m/1m2f) who ran well when fourth over 1m here on Tuesday; might not be far away. |
