26th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Notably progressive in the spring, having plenty in hand when making all in the competitive Silver Bowl Handicap at Haydock (1m, good to firm) to complete a hat-trick; however, he came unstuck in the Group 3 Jersey at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm; 11-4 favourite) the following month; retains potential but needs a big step forward against some high-class older opposition here. |
20/1 |

9th 5 (11) |
24th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Impressed in 7f maiden/novice races (good to soft/AW) in the first part of spring and again had plenty in hand when making all in the competitive Silver Bowl Handicap at Haydock (1m, good to firm) last time; displayed obvious Group-race potential at Haydock and he has strong claims for his top yard. |
2/1 |

1st 5 (4) |
27th May 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 37y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Has worn a hood on all three starts; went close on debut at Southwell (7f, AW) in April and won in fine style the next twice (7f, good to soft/AW); in a tough race on handicap debut but is in top hands and could prove to be better than his opening mark, provided the absence of the hood isn't an issue. |

8th Feb 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Eight-race maiden who has gone the wrong way over a variety of trips since finishing second on his debut for Brian Meehan at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) last April; look elsewhere. |
25/1 |
|
9th 5 (5) |
16th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Initial promise for Brian Meehan, notably when runner-up to Covey in a 7f Newmarket maiden last April; yet to threaten (0-2) for this doubly represented trainer and takes a sharp step up in trip here to compete beyond 9.5f for the first time; continues to ease in the weights. |
16/1 |

7th 2 (2) |
30th Dec 2023 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
A fair maiden at his best for Brian Meehan who wasn't disgraced for his new yard when third of five in 1m Chelmsford seller last month; he needs to follow it up back in handicap company. |

26th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Off the mark at tenth attempt, keeping on well to prevail by a neck at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) last month; ran okay off new mark at Newmarket a fortnight later but will need to kick on again here. |
14/1 |
|
4th 6 (3) |
25th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Ground it out to make it tenth-time lucky at Salisbury (1m, good) 15 days ago; now 4lb higher and will need to improve again if he is to get the better of a couple of these; stable won this in 2017 and 2020. |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
His win in July took C&D record to 3-4 (good to soft and good to firm); had a very awkward start here since and was soon tailed off (stablemate Cherry Cobbler was second) but, given his fine strike-rate here, he can't easily be left out. |
10/1 |
|
9th 6 (4) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
All four turf wins have been gained on this course (7f/1m); beaten around 9l in his first two runs this season but he returned to form when beating Jumby over C&D (good to firm) 13 days ago; only 2lb higher here and has leading claims if he can back that up. |
7/2 |
|
1st 7 (5) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
All three wins on turf have been achieved on this course (7f/1m); beaten around 9l in two comeback outings in recent months but eased 3lb and capable of bouncing back to form to a form with a bang. |

27th Sep 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Inconsistent in six starts but showed improvement when racing prominently in first-time cheekpieces at Chepstow (1m2f, good) latest; will have to prove he gets this extra furlong; if staying, he remains on a competitive mark. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 3 (6) |
4th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Fair third to a subsequent winner at Chelmsford in first time visor on handicap debut (1m, standard to slow); not so good last time at Kempton (1m); steps up to 1m2f and now tried in cheekpieces; bit to prove. |
5/2 |
|
6th 7 (11) |
14th Aug 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Gelded after struggling in his novices and with a visor fitted for his handicap debut at Chelmsford (1m) he made eyecatching late headway for third (Hurricane Kiko runner-up); might have threatened with a clear run that day; not drawn well but respected. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Suddenly bounced back to form when heavily punted at Bangor (2m4f, good; tongue-tie refitted) in May, but recent efforts have been underwhelming and this drop back in trip may not be ideal; considered only if the subject of another big market move. |
8/1 |
|
5th 2 |
19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Returned to form in a reapplied tongue-tie (retained since) and justified strong market support at Bangor (2m4f, good) in March; mixed form since, however, and only fifth at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last month following a break and wind surgery; needs to raise his game and is unproven at the trip. |
12/1 |
|
5th 1 |
26th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Back today from a second wind operation and it took him a while to find his form after the first; only four ran when third in his latest race and he does look on a stiff mark, 10lb higher than for the easy Bangor win in March. |
