16th Oct 2023 Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Sole win came over 5f at Chester (soft) in May and ran well returned to that C&D (good to soft) last month; not disgraced in 6f sales race at York two starts ago; hard to dismiss at this level. |
7/1 |

3rd 3 (8) |
16th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Highly tried since winning a maiden over C&D (soft) in May, but twice placed in Listed company and not disgraced when seventh of the 22 runners in the valuable sales contest at York (6f, good to firm) last time; makes his nursery debut, but the outside stall does make things a bit tricky. |

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. |

20th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Has solid form in 1m handicaps at Newmarket (on good or quicker) but there were no excuses behind Volterra and Skukuza the last time and that's probably where he is right now after ten career starts. |
25/1 |
|
9 (1) |
25th May 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Has run well to be placed in his last three starts since stepped up to 1m; inside draw is a positive for one who likes to be up there, but he has been edging up the weights for not winning and the return to 7f is not sure to be a plus; stable won this in 2016 and 2019. |

10th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Steady progression in handicaps this year but he's had plenty of racing now and the handicapper knows where he is; no obvious reason he won't go well again for his in-form yard but is vulnerable to improvers. |

22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Just one win from 22 starts but that came at Brighton (6f, good) last May and he was runner-up on AW at Lingfield last month; remains well handicapped on old form and he's in the mix back on turf. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 8 (6) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Last season's campaign fizzled out but he made a fairly encouraging return in 6f Wolverhampton classified last month, keeping on steadily from the rear to finish in midfield; now 6lb lower than for last spring's win at Brighton (6f, good); a possible. |
6/1 |
|
6th 3 (8) |
24th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has a chance on last season's best, notably a 6f win at Brighton (RPR 59); ended that campaign quietly though and he has a 176-day absence to overcome. |

15th Jan 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
Well treated on form as recent as last May and it's possible the visor and drop back to 6f will suit this headstrong sort; however, he's finished down the field on his last four starts and his claims aren't compelling. |
20/1 |

23rd Jan 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
11-race maiden but he's run some fair races this winter, including one run in blinkers at Lingfield last month; latest C&D run (cheekpieces) was a backward step though. |
10/1 |
|
7th 8 (3) |
21st Dec 2023 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
bumped start, midfield, outpaced over 2f out, brought down over 2f out, hung left over 1f out, soon no impression |
9/1 |
|
5th 10 (9) |
6th Dec 2023 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Comparatively exposed, being a nine-race maiden, but is in good form having been placed at this course (close second over 7f) and Wolverhampton (third over 6f) the last twice; possibilities if finding a bit extra in first-time headgear. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Best known as a 5f performer but has won over 6f; always behind on last month's reappearance outing and finished last of six after racing too freely in refitted cheekpieces a fortnight later (also 5f); on good mark but needs to get his season up and running. |
16/1 |
|
6th 8 (4) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Off six months and went without his usual cheekpieces when 11th over C&D two weeks ago; he scored twice at Ripon (5f) last May so no surprise to see him take a step forward here in refitted headgear. |
14/1 |
|
11th 2 (10) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Came to hand early last year and he returns from a 168-day break off a mark just 1lb higher than for his Ripon win 11 months ago; the absence of cheekpieces tempers enthusiasm this time. |

25th Nov 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Hard to pin down after three runs, the most recent from the widest stall over C&D, but she's had a break since and is better drawn today; no surprise to see her improve and market support would be significant. |

Second reserve; two-time turf winner is 0-5 on the AW and yet to trouble the judge; out of form recently and a bit to prove on this surface. |

Won at Limerick (6.5f, good) in July but she has regressed of late and is 0-4 on the AW; one of two for the yard so watch the betting. |
