30th Jan 2023 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Gelded prior to his success on handicap debut here (8.6f) in October and he's finished close up on Tapeta (9.4f) and Polytrack (1m2f) in both runs since; still has potential after only six starts but he needs to find something extra at this new trip. |

25th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner (good; 4lb higher today) in June; not so hot back here on good to firm next time, albeit in a better race, and although he wasn't beaten far at Chelmsford (AW) on latest start, that was in only seventh of 11; faces fewer rivals this time but not top of the list. |
9/1 |

15th Aug 2023 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Successful at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta) and Lingfield (1m2f, Polytrack) last winter and added another win at Newmarket (1m2f, good) in June; not so good back there last time, albeit in a better race, and others are higher up the list. |

14th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Ten races and usually seriously involved, this season's exception on soft ground; best efforts came in 1m2f handicaps on good ground under Neil Callan at Newmarket on last two starts, the latter a C&D win since which the second and fourth have both won; not harshly treated with 4lb rise. |

4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Made the most of a drop in class when regaining winning form at Southwell (16.5f, Tapeta) last month (third has won since); 4lb higher and back up in grade, but he still holds more compelling claims than a few. |
5/2 |

2nd Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Three AW wins for previous stable; 0-8 for current yard and his form has declined rather sharply; however, he may produce a resurgent display back at this level, being 2-2 in Class 6. |
14/1 |

11th 12 (8) |
21st Feb 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Three AW wins (1m2f-2m) in 2023; lightly raced since and he's been well held back from another break in his two runs this winter; mark continues to fall but he needs a major revival back at this trip. |

Yet to win in 19 starts under either code but he ran well when third here (1m4f) in February off a 3lb higher mark; less good since and others have more pressing claims. |

16th Aug 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
C&D winner in December on his third outing; suffered three heavy defeats in stronger handicaps this year (1m4f-1m6f) but he's been gelded since his latest start and this drop in class can help; not dismissed. |
12/1 |

30th Jun 2023 Good 1m 6f 115y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Progressed to win a Kempton novice (1m3f, AW) last December, but has been well beaten in both handicaps and was particularly poor on his return from 127 days off at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) this month, albeit he reportedly stumbled leaving the stalls; has enough to prove. |

0-12 on the Flat (placed seven times) for Karl Burke last year and for Alice Haynes in 2023; blinkered on latest three starts and disappointing, overall; joined good yard for hurdling and Sean Bowen rides but bit to prove. |

28th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Maiden; has run well at about 7f (turf) and 1m (Polytrack) for new yard of late but lacked the pace to challenge over a bare 7f at Chelmsford recently; acts on Tapeta elsewhere and return to 1m should help; first-time hood added to refitted blinkers; thereabouts. |
7/1 |

6th 5 (5) |
14th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-16 overall but still early days for him with his shrewd new yard; over 4l ahead of the stumbling Coral Reef at Ffos Las last month, and his Lingfield third since (1m) was an equal best form effort on synthetics. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 3 (2) |
6th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
0-14 for Iain Jardine but neck away from making winning stable debut at Ffos Las 12 days ago; up 1lb; has form on Tapeta but makes Polytrack debut here. |
