31st Dec 2024 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
High-class handicap form in 2023 and rounded off that campaign with two good runs in Listed company; absent for 398 days before a low-key run at Newcastle 25 days ago; subsequent wind op (his fourth) suggests there was more to that than just needing the outing and cheekpieces are now added (worn once in 2020); chance if back to his best but a point to prove for now. |

Very useful performer whose overall strike-rate is 7-21 (3-6 on AW); landed a major 1m2f handicap on turf (off 1lb lower) in 2023 and went close in Listed grade when last seen 13 months ago; market instructive on belated reappearance. |

22nd Oct 2024 Standard 1m 4f 99y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Tapeta winner who finished comfortably held in this race last year off a similar mark; arrives with something to prove this time, having been given a two-month break since a few poor efforts in the summer, and La Pulga looks his yard's best chance. |

23rd Aug 2024 Soft 1m 4f 15y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Won here (1m5f, good to soft) in May on first course visit and runner-up here (1m4f, good) next time; however, tailed off here (1m5f, good) subsequently and same story at Ayr (1m5f, good to firm) last time; major turnaround needed in first-time cheekpieces on return from two-month break. |

Had an off day at Hamilton (1m5f, good) three weeks ago but usually consistent; may prefer a bit more give underfoot and he's high in the weights. |

9st 5lb |
451 days off before he returned with four good placings (two at Epsom, then two at Ascot) then won a lesser 1m4f race here four weeks ago; saw it out very well last time but has a 4lb penalty for this, his toughest assignment, and sole attempt at 1m6f was in 2021, well below form; others preferred. |

28th Jan 2023 Standard 1m 2f 219y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Seven-time Tapeta winner but just under 3l behind Ziggy off levels in a conditions race at Newcastle last time and has to give him weight this time; 0-6 on Polytrack, including below best both visits here. |

12th Jan 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Ultra-consistent sort whose seven wins have all come on Tapeta (record here reads 1121311); doesn't have much to find with the Gosden pair on these terms and his record on the surface makes him hard to dismiss, but a suspicion that further suits him better these days. |

29th Mar 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Sole win came on Polytrack at Deauville (12.5f) in August 2021; made the frame in three of his seven starts over hurdles after joining this yard, but he never figured here on Flat (1m3f/2m) on last two outings; wore cheekpieces on last four starts, now it's a visor. |

Fairly useful form on the Flat in France in 2021, including a 1m4f Polytrack maiden; however, he disappointingly hasn't bettered modest form over hurdles in Britain since and can only be watched back on the Flat in a good race. |

1m6f win at Sandown last July and beaten by a head over hurdles in November; those were two of the best efforts in a very in-and-out campaign (hampered on sole start here) and he was always behind when reappearing 12 days ago; wore cheekpieces on six of his last seven starts but they're off today. |

13th Feb 2023 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Losing run stretches back to July 2020 and he finished out the back at Kempton on his stable debut 16 days ago; has dropped a long way in the weights though and it wouldn't be a huge surprise to see him rediscover his form sooner rather than later. |

28th Jan 2023 Standard 1m 2f 219y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
On a long losing sequence but he was pretty smart on turf/AW at his best for the Johnston stable and showed enough to think he retains a good chunk of his ability when returning from a year off to finish fifth of 11 in 1m3f Windsor handicap in October; has joined a stable which excels with new recruits. |
