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. |

13th Mar 2023 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Made a successful handicap debut in a weak five-runner event at Lingfield (1m2f, Polytrack) in January, but then won very easily under a penalty at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta) four days later and after having been put up 10lb, his latest third of six over C&D was in a stronger race than this; leading claims. |

Ran three times in the autumn (7f-1m1f) and improved on that form when making all under Billy Loughnane on handicap debut at Lingfield (1m2f, Polytrack) on Monday; unexposed and has strong claims under a 6lb penalty. |

Similar form in three 2yo runs in the autumn (7f-1m2f); by Dandy Man but plenty of stamina on the dam's side of his pedigree and he could take a step forward now handicapping over middle distances. |

9st 3lb |
Well-held fourth in his first two starts in the autumn but he found plenty of progress on the step up to 1m3f when justifying support in Kempton novice (Polytrack) last month; should have more to offer now handicapping over this trip and he looks interesting for yard that won this last year. |

7-1, shaped encouragingly when debut fourth of seven in novice at Redcar (1m1f, soft) three weeks ago, hanging right; this Ulysses colt is open to progress. |

13th Mar 2023 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Placed in five of his first seven outings including on stable debut here (9.5f; first start since being gelded) in January, but failed to beat a rival over C&D later in month; didn't enjoy the clearest of runs there, but still finished about 10l behind Haaland so has work to do. |
16/1 |
6th 5 (6) |
30th Jan 2023 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Has been generally consistent in his seven starts but he's still a maiden and is on the same mark as when third of six on his stable debut here (9.4f) 25 days ago; has some work to do at this new trip. |
12/1 |

2nd Mar 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Exposed maiden who faded out if it when stepped up to 1m3f at Southwell last time; each-way claims back over shorter but others are stronger for win purposes again. |
6/1 |
6th 12 (1) |
17th Feb 2023 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 3 |
8st 5lb |
Ten-race maiden who has been running respectably this year but needs to find extra with today's move up from 9.4f; wore blinkers five starts back (reverts to them today) and cheekpieces since. |
10/1 |
5th 2 (6) |
6th Feb 2023 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Maiden who hasn't been far away in handicaps at 1m (Newcastle) and over C&D of late, seemingly staying the new trip 14 days ago; is likely to need extra off current mark. |
