22nd Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Has only a Chester novice to show for his eight runs but it was a very strong handicap at York (6f) in which he finished seventh of 16 last time; goes on soft ground and can see him having a say if staying this new trip. |

8th Sep 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Showed promise when third on all three starts (5f. turf/Polytrack) in the spring, but she's struggled this summer including in two nurseries (7f/8.6f); mark is falling but she needs a major turnaround. |

13th Aug 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Shaped with promise when third on all three starts at around 5f in the spring but returned from 11-week break with poor 7f AW run last month and it's hard to know what to expect from her on this nursery debut. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Beaten 19 times since his last win in September 2023 and good runs have been scarce over the last year and a bit; however, it's possible he'll improve for this month's reappearance outing and he's not discounted off a handy mark in a reapplied tongue-tie and first-time blinkers. |
9/1 |

9th 2 (6) |
3rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

Hasn't won since 2023 and he beat one home when last seen out in October; one to watch after a break of 213 days. |

27th Jun 2024 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Made it two wins in a row when scoring over C&D in February, and he's 2lb below that last winning mark; however, he hasn't been at the top of his game more recently and he needs to get back to his best. |
7/1 |

7th 5 (3) |
28th May 2024 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Had a purple patch over the winter, winning three 5f handicaps; found life tougher off his revised mark though and well held in third on his return to Class 5 company at Southwell four weeks ago; effective over C&D but others bring greater potential. |

Awarded the Pontefract handicap last month in which Valentine Catcher passed the post first; not so good in either run since, the latest at Doncaster on Saturday, and others appeal more. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
All three wins over 6f at Pontefract on good and good to soft, most recently when awarded a race last month, but he was never involved in a higher grade there since and recent 7f attempts suggest others will have the legs of him late on. |

18th Jul 2023 Soft 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |

Big prices and well held all four starts, latterly when a long way behind On Borrowed Time and Chicabiddy at Redcar. |

30th Jun 2023 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |

No real form of worth, cheekpieces (retained) making little difference when 11l fourth to On Borrowed Time in similar company at Redcar a week ago. |

23rd Jun 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Has not finished within 11l of the winner in three starts; drops into a seller and cheekpieces given a go, but still hard to fancy. |

Top yard and claimer but former William Haggas inmate has shown little including on Irish debut in May; new headgear. |

30th May 2024 Good 0m 6f 25y |

Ran three times for William Haggas without showing much; low-level recruit to a top stable; potentially interesting if she has matured along the right lines during a year-long absence. |

17th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Didn't need to be at his best when finally off the mark in a weak 5f Musselburgh novice last month and took his handicap record to 0-9 when a respectable fourth at Newcastle (6f) since; may again have to settle for minor honours. |
6/1 |
|
4th 4 (2) |
1st Oct 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Finally off the mark in a weak 5f novice last time; won't mind the return to 6f or Tapeta (went close over C&D in the spring) but has had plenty of chances off similar ratings. |
5/1 |
|
1st 3 (3) |
15th Sep 2024 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 5 |

made virtually all, pushed along and faced challenge over 1f out, ridden inside final furlong, kept on final 110yds, much reduced lead towards finish, always doing enough |
