3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Quickly coaxed back to form by James Owen last year, winning 6f handicaps at Kempton (twice) and Chester; struggled on dirt in the Middle East over the winter but his mark dropped quickly and he ran well back on turf in Abu Dhabi in March; returned to Britain with an emphatic success at Leicester (6f, good to firm) eight days ago; today's 8lb higher mark should still be in range but the drop to 5f is a slight query. |

1st 5 (2) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Had ups and downs since showing decent form earlier in career and was well treated when starting out for this trainer in 2025, winning three of his last four 6f starts on AW and turf; went down only narrowly back on turf (good to firm; headgear left off) in UAE during March and he's of interest now back with former yard. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Free-going sort; easily saw off five rivals on testing ground at Lingfield in June but he has been well held in three runs since; hopes rest on the return to slower ground giving him a lift. |

1st Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Easily won a small-field soft-ground handicap at Lingfield in June off 6lb lower but well held since then, latterly at Southwell on Monday. |
14/1 |

9th 6 (9) |
28th Jul 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Well backed when winning a 6f handicap at Lingfield (soft) last month; not sure that was the greatest race, however, and he's since finished unplaced at Hamilton, albeit over 5f. |

27th Jul 2024 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins as a juvenile; slow start did for him at Royal Ascot but competitive in his two runs either side of that (at 6f), pushing a subsequent improver close at Windsor and only wilting late on when the ground was soft at Pontefract; good chance, other than stall 9 not being ideal. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 5 (1) |
9th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Always behind at Royal Ascot (5f) last time; solid second at Windsor (6f, good to firm; form has substance) earlier in June; that reappearance effort gives him a fighting chance. |
5/1 |
|
22th 10 (6) |
21st Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Came up just short in Listed race at Ripon after winning a Windsor nursery (6f, good) last July; gelded prior to his reappearance 18 days ago when he again ran well at Windsor, finding one too strong but clear of the third; has the early speed to deal with the return to 5f; apart from a couple of blips on heavy ground, his profile is one of steady improvement; there could well be more to come from him. |

16th Oct 2023 Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Flopped (behind Kingswood Flyer) on soft going at Doncaster; solid second at Wolverhampton (6f, AW; nursery debut) earlier in September and won on turf (good to soft) in May; could go well granted suitable ground. |
11/2 |
|
6th 8 (7) |
15th Sep 2023 Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won at Bath (5f, good to soft) on second start and close second at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) last Thursday on nursery debut, when clear of the third; runs before a 4lb rise kicks in and he's a key player. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 2 (8) |
7th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won a 5f maiden at Bath in May; similar form when midfield under a penalty later that month; moves into handicaps with some potential and stepping up to 6f for the first time shouldn't be an issue; AW debut. |

14th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Inconsistent maiden who finished second in Wolverhampton seller (6f, AW) most recently, taking record to 0-9; not exactly a solid contender back at handicap level. |

23rd Nov 2023 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Comparatively exposed, with record only 1-14, and has edged up the weights; however, he's in good form having gone close in three of his last four outings, latest at Chelmsford (1m2f); could go well again. |
9/1 |

2nd 1 (7) |
11th Nov 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

4th 8 (4) |
27th Oct 2023 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Consistent since blinkers went on and will be 3lb higher from tomorrow for last Monday's Kempton near-miss (one of three to come away despite edging left); can miss the break and pull hard but could well get this run to suit, so needs considering. |
