Quite useful on the Flat in his prime but has not shown a great deal in his five hurdling starts since September; beaten about 23l when fifth of sixth here (2m, good) a fortnight ago; tries a new trip today. |

17th May 2023 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won a Wolverhampton novice in December; runner-up over 1m4f in four of his five handicaps since and he looked a hard ride once hitting the front under James Doyle at Salisbury (good to soft) 13 days ago, hanging badly right then left and headed on the line; wore cheekpieces last two starts; capable of better but perhaps hard to trust. |

Won a Wolverhampton novice in December and runner-up in his first three handicaps, all 1m4f on AW; not beaten far when he failed to get run of the race at Lingfield four weeks ago, with cheekpieces given a go; big player if he transfers his AW form, having taken a minor honour on soft as 2yo. |

Not proven at this track but the best of his six AW runs came on latest attempt when winning a five-runner race on Wolverhampton Tapeta (1m6f) in July; back to that form when close third at Bath (1m6f) on latest outing; big player if that form is reproduced. |

Hurdle/Flat winner; wasn't at his best on the Flat following a break at Catterick last month but should come on for the run; conditions fine; quite interesting on chase debut. |

4th May 2023 Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
All three runs on AW under Collen Storey, placed on first two (1m2f/1m3f) and not needing to improve when she opened her account in novice at Wolverhampton (1m4f; made all) in October; makes seasonal, turf and handicap debut, probably the one most open to potential. |
11/4 |

14th Apr 2023 Heavy 1m 3f 179y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Placed on Polytrack on first two starts (1m2f/1m3f) and didn't need to improve to open account in Tapeta novice (1m4f) in October; makes turf/handicap debut after six-month absence but represents a top stable and has significant potential. |

9st 9lb |
Four wins (three on AW at 1m6f and 2m) and was last seen finishing third in the 2024 Cesarewitch; has gone well over this shorter trip but can only be considered if market vibes are positive. |

3rd 13 (22) |
12th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Reached new heights during a pretty busy AW campaign prior to his creditable and none-too-lucky sixth in the 2m2f Chester Cup in May when last seen (finished lame); that was on good to firm and easily his best turf form, but he won on soft in 2022; withdrawn twice last month; on the Chester Cup evidence he could still be capable of better. |

Three 1m4f wins on the Flat for Ed Walker; made a winning debut for Tim Vaughan over hurdles last summer but two subsequent runs (wind op before latest) haven't been so good; not sure what to expect back on the Flat. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Useful Flat racer who showed some fair hurdling form for Joseph O'Brien in Ireland last year and did not need to be at best to justify short odds in modest Ffos Las novice (2m4f, good to soft) for new stable in last month; faces tougher task under penalty but still has a big role to play. |
5/2 |

5th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Useful Flat racer who was creditable second of 14 at Cork (2m4f, good) on hurdling debut for Joseph O'Brien in November; became rather disappointing for that stable afterwards and was sold for 10,000gns in March but makes debut for Tim Vaughan in a modest race. |

Failed to shine when tried over hurdles on last five starts; no significant impact last year on the Flat except for first time out but the handicapper is giving him a chance and he's not ruled in new headgear; both wins were in 2021 on heavy going. |
