Can start slowly and needs everything to fall right, but he arrives here in solid form and a strong pace up front will help him; fourth to Eldrickjones here last week. |

Had quite a good spell on AW over the winter but well beaten in three runs back on the grass in April/May; has something to prove for now. |

27th May 2023 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
His two wins have come at 1m on turf (good to firm) and Tapeta; placed four times since his last success in November but he's lost his way at Doncaster (1m) and here (7f) in last two starts; now returns to much quicker ground but he needs to bounce back near his best. |

23rd Jun 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Got off the mark for his current yard at Newcastle (1m) in March and has posted two solid efforts since, not enjoying the clearest of runs when sixth in 1m Sandown handicap 29 days ago; he can go well again. |
16/1 |
|
6th 10 (4) |
25th May 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Not that prolific with just three wins in 21 starts but he's posted his best figures on the AW, the scene for all three of his wins; very pleasing run at Lingfield last time (1m) when never closer than at the finish but there are better options in a race of this nature. |
20/1 |
|
3rd 12 (3) |
7th Apr 2023 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Made a successful return from wind surgery to end an 11-race losing run on his third start for this yard at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) last month; 6lb higher, but still lower in the weights than at this time last year so he cannot be dismissed. |

9th Feb 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
1m1f winner in June 2021 when trained by Dermot Weld; tailed off in two runs for George Boughey last spring, after which she had a second wind operation; two promising runs for this yard when an unconsidered outsider; drops in class this time and she makes some appeal. |
10/1 |
|
4th 6 (2) |
25th Jan 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Became disappointing for Dermot Weld and showed nothing in two starts on Polytrack for George Boughey last April but she showed ability remains when returning from a second wind op to finish fourth of seven at Southwell (1m) in a first-time tongue-tie (retained) 15 days ago; well handicapped if she can build on that. |

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. |
7/2 |
|
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. |
3/1 |

2nd 1 (7) |
18th Jan 2023 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |

took keen hold, prominent, pushed along over 2f out, ridden to lead over 1f out, kept on but headed towards finish, just failed |

25th Jan 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Not at the top of his game in four starts at Kempton and Southwell since returning from a break but all four AW wins have come over 7f-1m here and he's well treated on the form he showed at this time last year if a return to this venue sparks a revival. |
8/1 |
|
4th 2 (2) |
10th Jan 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
All four AW wins have come over 7f-1m at Newcastle; has been some way off full strength since back from break and has yet to beat a rival in two C&D runs, including behind Tropez Power three weeks ago. |
12/1 |
|
10th 2 (4) |
20th Dec 2022 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Four-time Newcastle winner, latterly off today's mark early in the year; pulled hard in a messy affair on Polytrack last time and should do better back to Tapeta under a 7lb claimer who's enjoying a good spell. |

8th Dec 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |

Dual C&D winner; comes from off pace and beat all bar Hortzadar in moderately run affair over C&D latest; big shout again if he gets the breaks. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 6 (9) |
3rd Nov 2023 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Dual C&D winner who'll always be reliant on a strong pace given his run style; didn't find things panning out his way behind Irish Flame over C&D last time and is one to consider down 2lb (career-low mark). |
7/1 |
|
6th 2 (8) |
17th Oct 2023 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Dual C&D winner who returns to Tapeta on a workable mark; remains consistent despite his age, wasn't beaten far at Ayr last time and should give his running again; each-way claims. |

9th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Just one win to his name but he regularly ran to an RPR in the 80s through the winter and his penultimate start at Ripon (1m, soft) wasn't bad in the context of this race; disconcerting to see him dropped to this grade but no surprise were he to prove too classy. |
11/4 |
|
12th 5 (8) |
13th May 2023 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Weighted to be involved on 7f Tapeta form in midwinter but he can lose ground at the start and, with no experience of Polytrack, he has something to prove against rivals who handle the surface well. |
8/1 |
|
5th 5 (8) |
20th Apr 2023 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Sole success came over 6f on good ground last June; mostly consistent since, including in his autumn/winter campaign on AW, but he missed the break and was never involved in the Spring Mile at Doncaster on his return to turf 19 days ago. |
