26th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Disappointing favourite at Ascot (2m, soft) last month and something to prove after that, but this lightly raced 4yo was progressive previously with wins at Bath (11.6f, soft) and over this C&D (good), and perhaps the first-time tongue-tie will help him bounce back to form with a big run. |

5th 5 (4) |
28th Jul 2023 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Had wind and gelding operations and a change of stable last autumn; returned with improved efforts to win at Bath (11.6f, soft) in April and Newmarket (1m6f, good; ridden by 3lb claimer) in June, holding off Traila by a neck in the latter; up another 3lb but 2m looks well worth a go and he's a lightly raced 4yo who retains potential. |

24th Jun 2023 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Creditable third in a Newcastle handicap (1m4f, AW) on his final run for Michael Bell last season; had wind/gelding operations after that; well backed on his stable debut at Bath (11.6f, soft) in April and he stayed on well for a last-gasp win; 8lb higher on this step back up in grade but he's still lightly raced and is open to more progress at this new trip; respected. |

29th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
11st 13lb |
Dual Nottingham winner; acts on soft, unraced on heavy; shot back to some form when storming home in an amateur riders' race at Bath (11.5f, good to soft) last month; well below form next time (1m6f, which he stays) but Henry Callan galvanised him to a 1m4f win at Newbury (soft) on Saturday; sole attempt at 1m2f was in 2021 but he had to hold on at Newbury after going clear and his appearance over this trip with 4lb penalty no longer looks ridiculous. |

Won twice last year, including over 12.5f here, but his losing run is beginning to mount up; now 6lb below his last winning mark but not easy to recommend after a heavy defeat over C&D one month ago. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Very respectable 12-76 record for one who plies his trade in this sort of grade; vast majority of those wins came on AW but he can do it on turf and latest third over C&D (good to firm), while beaten a fair way, wasn't a bad effort; has dropped back down to his career-low mark. |
12/1 |

3rd 9 (8) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
11-time AW scorer but sole turf win was three years ago; some creditable efforts on Polytrack for new yard this year but he's been out of sorts at Wolverhampton in last two runs; has some questions to answer and he looks opposable back on turf. |
20/1 |

6th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

12-74; sits below last winning mark and filled the runner-up berth at Lingfield (1m2f) on penultimate start; less productive in a change of headgear (visor) over 8.5f here latest; trainer also saddles Three on Thursday. |

Triple turf winner (1m2f) on fast and slow ground; got back on the scoresheet at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) in March but he's not easy to predict and has been well held in last three runs; still 4lb higher than for his last win and he comes with risks attached back at this trip. |

28th Aug 2024 Good 1m 5f 192y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Winless since 2021 and he was tailed off when returned to the Flat (1m2f) on stable debut last month; mark continues to fall but he's not been competitive for some time and has plenty to prove on this big step back up in trip; cheekpieces reapplied. |

0-9 over hurdles but he has won in other disciplines and his 8l second of ten to Cooler Than Me over C&D (heavy; 100-1) last time was easily his most competitive show as a handicap hurdler; considered for a place. |

Made the frame over 1m4f on his last two turf starts and has become well handicapped, but he's no longer the force of old and was never involved over C&D last time; returns from a short break but his last Flat win was over two years ago and others are preferred. |

22nd Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 1f 109y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
A dual hurdle winner for Milton Harris; well beaten on the Flat on first two starts for this stable in June and only made a satisfactory start to his chasing career when a well-held third at Plumpton (2m1f, good; second has won since) last month; has a fitness edge over some and not ruled out with that experience behind him, off 5lb lower. |

Unraced beyond 1m4f on Flat but has scored over 2m and 2m4f as a hurdler; his significant Flat form was in 2022 and he was tailed off on recent return to Flat for new yard after eight months off; others have more pressing claims. |
