9st 5lb |
Won at Newcastle (1m, AW) in March and second of 15 at Pontefract (1m, soft) next time; back to form with close second to Rain Cap at Catterick (7f, good) last Wednesday and shaped then as though he would be fine now back down to 6f, especially at this stiff course and with slow ground expected. |

Won a 0-50 classified event over C&D in March and went close in a 0-70 handicap at Pontefract (1m, soft) next time, but ran poorly over the same C&D (good) last month; needs to put that behind him but a player if he can. |

9st 4lb |
1-17 here, the win coming off this mark over this trip in June last year; some fair efforts on turf this season and 1m2f would have been too far on his return to this venue a fortnight ago, but others are still more solid; stable also runs Wheres The Crumpet. |

1st Oct 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Course winner (1m, June 2023); consistent over 7f-1m1f lately, shaping as if in need of a greater stamina test when third over 7f at Catterick (soft); head carriage isn't always alluring, but he is worth another go over 1m2f; stablemate of Wheres The Crumpet. |

Just one win to his name from 19 starts (1m, good) and he finished well beaten at Southwell when last seen eight weeks ago; some promise on soft in April and this is a drop in class; others still look safer though. |

Following a long absence he was well beaten on two hurdle starts this January; however, he didn't run badly when midfield back on the Flat at Pontefract (1m, soft) a fortnight ago and could build on that now up in trip and back on better ground, having shown promise when staying on nicely over 7f/1m on good/good to firm in 2021; interesting for last year's winning yard. |
