23rd Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Couple of AW novice wins early in year; has shown he's effective on turf with creditable efforts at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) and Haydock (1m6f, good) the last twice; could go well again. |

9th Sep 2023 Good 1m 6f 1y Class 2 |
8st 3lb |
Two-time AW novice winner who returned to form when second at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) recently; this is tougher but he hung last time so could be better suited by this flat track, and his pedigree provides hope he'll improve for the step up in trip; no surprise to see another good run. |

9th Jul 2024 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
0-8; runner-up three times in small fields over 1m4f-2m on turf/AW last year but has regressed this campaign (1m6f/2m); others preferred. |
100/30 |

21st May 2024 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
0-7; runner-up three times in small fields over 1m4f-2m on turf/AW last year, but finished a well-beaten fourth of five at Goodwood (1m6f, heavy) this month; possible that the combination of a nine-month absence and deep ground found him out so he may show more on this better surface. |

29th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Having been off for 168 days and been gelded he made a winning debut for this yard at Southwell (1m6f, Tapeta) in March last year; off another 17 months before fifth of six here (2m) 11 weeks ago; has a bit to prove now. |

13th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Made a winning yard debut at Southwell in March 2024, appreciating the return to 1m6f and the switch to Tapeta; up just 3lb but has more to prove on first run since, back on Polytrack and upped to 2m. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Eight-time AW winner, including thrice at Southwell; close third in the Northumberland Vase at Newcastle last weekend when returned to this sphere; back up 2lb but takes a drop back in grade; solid chance. |
7/2 |

3rd 6 (2) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Very busy and he's had his share of wins, including four (one here) over 2m in 2025; AW has dominated his career; three of his last four turf starts were respectable and he's edging down the weights, so not entirely dismissed. |
25/1 |

3rd 1 (5) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 2m 2f 2y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Very busy and he's had his share of wins, including four over 2m in 2025, but that's been mostly on AW which has dominated his career; best turf ratings two and three runs back before tailed off (might have overdone it up front) at Goodwood latest; again has just four rivals today but others are preferred. |

2nd Dec 2024 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Well held in three runs for this yard (also saddle two others) in the summer and goes without a tongue-tie for the first time since debut back from a break; potentially on a fair mark now and worth a look in the market. |

14th Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 6 |
10st 3lb |
Turf maiden winner a year ago and a close third from 3lb higher at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) in January on his final start for Sylvester Kirk; held in both starts since returning for this yard in May with cheekpieces applied, but the drop in class offers hope. |
