25th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Hard to fault on the score of consistency this year but it's nearly two years since his last success and others appeal as likelier winners. |
8/1 |

2nd 3 (7) |
2nd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Both wins came over C&D in 2023, but losing run now up to 17 despite a slipping mark; beaten only 3l into fifth of 13 at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) eight days ago and could play a part if building on that in the returning cheekpieces. |

25th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Both wins over 7f at Wolverhampton; has form at 1m, too, but he hasn't excelled himself in two C&D starts and others have stronger claims. |

27th Sep 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Landed a 7f AW novice at Lingfield by the skin of his teeth back in mid-June; has an absence to overcome but this mark should be manageable. |
8/1 |
|
1st 8 (6) |
10th Jun 2023 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Clearly progressive over three starts at 6f-7f before never a factor on last month's handicap debut (7f, good); that 0-90 was likely a deeper race than this return to novice company looks, however. |
9/1 |
|
11th 14 (13) |
20th May 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Left last August's debut (6f, good to firm) well behind when third at Kempton (7f, AW) in December, and improved again when runner-up at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last month; there can be optimism he will continue to progress and he could have a part to play on handicap debut. |

10st 2lb |
Secured a third win of 2024 at Chepstow (1m) in August and not discredited off a 5lb higher mark when fourth of 14 at Kempton (1m) four weeks ago; he ought to be thereabouts. |

11th Jul 2023 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Ex-French maiden who didn't look to see out 7f here on her stable debut in the spring; has been off since running poorly in a Ripon sprint and is now tried in a hood. |
50/1 |

13th 1 (4) |
21st May 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Placed over 5.5f in France last summer; looked stretched by 7f at Wolverhampton on last month's stable debut (after ten months off); drops to 6f and Class 6 company for her handicap debut; still has time to do better. |

Ex-Harry Eustace; lightly raced maiden at up to 1m4f on the Flat (tailed off on AW after 424-day break on stable debut two weeks ago); plenty to prove on his jumps debut. |

8st 9lb |
1-19, her win coming at Chester (7.5f, good) for Hugo Palmer in June last year; only modest form for current yard and she doesn't look ready to take advantage of career-low mark now back at 7f. |

Big prices and has finished in rear in two 7f events (AW/soft) this spring; has a lot to find and handicaps look the way forward after this. |

30th May 2023 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Fourth at Catterick (7f, heavy) in April; left that debut form way behind when winning a nine-runner maiden at Pontefract (1m, good) four weeks ago, looking green, wandering up the straight but getting up late on; despite his pedigree, it could be that this step up in trip will suit him; blinkers are also turned to; in the mix. |
4/1 |

1st 6 (4) |
3rd May 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Gelding by Mehmas; 6-1, too green to do himself justice when 11l fourth of ten in a Catterick novice last month (7f, heavy); improvement likely. |
13/2 |
|
5 (10) |
25th Apr 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Unraced for Andrew Balding; 6-1 when fourth of ten on his Catterick debut (7f, heavy) 13 days ago, albeit over 10l behind the winner; out of an AW winner, but he needs to improve and the outside stall not helpful. |
