1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Regressed since notching a slow-ground hat-trick early in his 3yo season and he was well beaten on reappearance (6f, good to firm); dropped another 4lb but he's unproven over this trip; lots to prove. |

21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Regressed since notching a soft-ground hat-trick early in his 3yo season and is entitled to need this after nine months off; only run once on ground faster than good, when a beaten-favourite, so these conditions would be a concern. |

Rattled off a hat-trick during the first half of 2023, all on good to soft or slower; not a lot to shout about since, however. |

2nd Oct 2023 Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Debut winner who was only short-headed on his handicap debut at Goodwood (5f, heavy) and his Sandown run after a lengthy break was too bad to be true; could bounce back. |
5/1 |

2nd Sep 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Less exposed than most of these and was having only his third outing when short-headed in six-runner handicap at Goodwood (5f, heavy; won debut on good to firm) in May; edged up 3lb but open to further improvement and must be considered. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Battled well to win from the front over C&D (good) 17 days ago, his second success this season; ought to give another good account but recent 2lb nudge could be enough to leave him vulnerable. |
6/1 |

1st 1 (1) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Recorded his seventh win, at Salisbury (6f, good) in May off 3lb lower and has performed with credit on his last two starts; cheekpieces return although he has never won in them; has won off higher marks than this and should run his race. |
11/4 |

3rd 2 (7) |
15th Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Made all at Salisbury (6f, good) in May; unplaced on next two starts but he was a close fifth of seven at Ffos Las most recently and he ran well over C&D last August on firm ground; might not be far away. |

Soft ground was no issue back in the spring when winning in novice and handicap company; progress has rather stalled but it wasn't a bad run last time and she's on a decent mark. |

6th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won on reappearance at Yarmouth in April and now 4lb lower; however, his subsequent form has been patchy and he needs to raise his game in first-time cheekpieces. |
11/1 |
|
6th 7 (8) |
17th Aug 2024 Good 0m 5f 34y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Below par since his 5f Yarmouth reappearance success in April but has dipped to 2lb below that winning mark; dangerous if staging a revival. |
8/1 |
|
14th 6 (18) |
26th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
All wins at 5f, one of them here at last year's Dante meeting, and he's on the same mark as when making a successful return at Yarmouth in April (5f, good to firm); best produced late off a strong pace at 5f though and his 6f form is unconvincing. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Back to winning ways in a small-field Class 4 handicap at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) in July; he has come up short twice since and looks vulnerable for win purposes. |
16/1 |
|
5th 4 (4) |
16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
With this visor back on he won at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) last month, landing that handicap for the third year in succession; not beaten far when fifth of 13 at Ascot (5f, good to firm) since but he's never won off a mark this high and there's a suspicion he'll again be vulnerable. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Won at Goodwood (5f, good) in the spring and has remained in form, second of seven at Lingfield last time; no obvious reason why he won't be thereabouts again but he's fully exposed after 52 starts. |
16/1 |
|
2nd 1 (3) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Record of 1-20 on turf but that win was off 1lb lower at Goodwood in May; hasn't matched that form in three subsequent runs but he ran into a well-handicapped rival when a 4l second at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) last time; now drops back into a Class 5 event and he's not ruled out. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 2 (2) |
30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Recent form includes a turf success but he's only 1-19 in this sphere and still has a much better strike-rate on AW; below par at Brighton last time. |
3/1 |
