18th Oct 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Having dropped down the weights he returned to form with a neck second at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) three weeks ago; has also run well on Polytrack; can be in the mix back up 3lb if producing another good run. |

28th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Dead-heated in 8.6f Wolverhampton novice in April but became very disappointing during the summer; suffered heavy defeat when tried in blinkers (now removed) this month; needs to turn a corner. |

Dead-heated in 8.5f AW novice event at Wolverhampton in April; hasn't progressed in handicaps and more new headgear tried now. |

3rd Oct 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Impressed on his first attempt at 6f, making all to beat 12 rivals at Nottingham in July; not ideally drawn in either run since and he isn't fully exposed as a sprinter just yet; cheekpieces are now added. |
5/1 |

6th 2 (6) |
27th Aug 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Won in good style at Nottingham (6f, good) last month on second start back from an absence and first crack at sprinting; failed to back that up at York but didn't run badly and this very lightly raced 5yo retains potential for his powerful connections; no surprise to see a bold show. |
9/2 |
|
8th 3 (11) |
26th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Low-mileage 5yo who delivered a career-best when dropped to 6f (good ground) at Nottingham three weeks ago, always prominent and strong at the finish; a 7lb rise for that win doesn't look generous but he still has potential at this trip. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Prominent racer who won classified events at Wolverhampton (9.4f) and Lingfield (1m2f) in January but he's found things tough back in handicaps in his last three runs; has something to prove again and his sole turf win was in May 2023. |
25/1 |

5th 2 (2) |
5th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won twice in January, including over 9.4f here, and he is back to a winning mark after three disappointing runs this spring; not a solid option. |
8/1 |
|
8th 9 (2) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Turf winner back in May 2023 who found classified company his thing when going back-to-back on AW (9.5f/1m2f) in January; forced out of that grade subsequently and has found handicaps a stretch on last three starts. |

3rd 1 (1) |
25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Ended his 2025 campaign with a half-length success in Class 2 event over C&D (good to firm) and is only 2lb higher back here; possibilities with Chester reappearance under his belt. |
5/1 |
|
8th 4 (14) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
All four wins at around this trip including one here (soft) in the summer of 2023; looked unlucky when beaten a head in this race off 3lb lower on his reappearance a year ago; won't mind what the weather does, but stall 14 isn't ideal. |
12/1 |

14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
May well have won at Chester (10.3f, good) in May granted a clear run; just 1lb higher today but Royal Ascot next time was a backward step and he was tailed-off last in a top handicap at York on latest outing. |

19th Aug 2023 Good 1m 5f 11y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Six-race maiden but he ran his best race so far when finishing well out wide to go close here (11.6f, good to soft) two weeks ago; only 1lb higher than for that and he's open to more progress on step up to this trip; interesting contender. |

19th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
6lb below his last winning mark but recent form has been patchy, his narrow defeat at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) last month surrounded by lesser efforts at the same track; 1-18 on AW; others more compelling. |
6/1 |

30th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won over 1m on soft and heavy ground last year and best run this campaign was four weeks ago when fourth at Nottingham (good to soft); interesting with conditions in his favour and off a good mark. |
