29th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Dead-heated over 1m here last year off this mark but a rollercoaster ride for his backers in the meantime; another fair effort when 2l away on the AW three weeks ago but he's never the percentage call. |

8th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Only 1lb higher than when dead-heating at Brighton (1m, good) in May but he's been up and down since and was last of nine at Brighton last Monday; comes with risks attached and he's not the percentage call; cheekpieces removed. |

1st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Lost second to Headshot in closing stages of 1m2f classified race won by Celebrating Ethel here (good) last month but that was still a good effort and today's shorter trip probably suits him better; now only 1lb higher than when dead-heating over C&D in May and might be boosted by refitted cheekpieces. |

7th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
C&D win last May and followed up at Lingfield (6f; both good to firm) one week later; now 14lb lower so he has handicapping claims, for all his recent efforts need bettering; stable also runs Cabeza De Llave. |

On the downgrade now but placed over C&D on two of his last three appearances; no match for Desdemona when second on latter occasion but now 11lb better off; can make his presence felt. |

25th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Yet to fire this season, beating only one in 5f Beverley handicap ten days ago; he needs to take a step forward. |
14/1 |

15th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Now 3lb lower than when winning this 12 months ago (soft); however, he's failed to shine on either outing this year and slow ground, which seems unlikely to prevail today, is probably preferable. |
9/1 |

26th Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Only 2-25 but latest win came off this mark last summer and also placed on both visits here; pulled too hard and weakened on 5f Carlisle reappearance but that should have knocked some of the freshness out of him and his yard is in better form now; no surprise were he to go well. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Beat Mister Sky Blue by 2l to win over C&D this month but was comfortably held off this 6lb higher mark last week; consistent. |
13/2 |

6th 10 (6) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Largely consistent mare who had edged her way down to a good mark before clearcut C&D (good) win 11 days ago; evidently in good nick but moves up from 0-55 grade today and recent 6lb rise might leave her vulnerable. |
9/2 |

Still a maiden and he came in last of six in 1m Ripon handicap 20 days ago; drops markedly in trip now and others appeal more. |

24th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 213y Class 6 |
10st 8lb |
Regressive gelding who hasn't won since his 2yo days and doesn't strike as the easiest; has been running well of late and will be happier back up from 6f, so holds each-way claims in an open handicap. |
8/1 |

4th 6 (3) |
2nd Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
1-18, his win coming over 5f as a 2yo; not beaten far into fourth of 11 in a similar contest at Lingfield (7f, good) 12 days ago and the pair who finished either side of him haven't let the form down; a contender if not inconvenienced by the shorter trip. |

9th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Three poor efforts for this yard since winning a 6f Thirsk seller for Kevin Ryan in the summer and is now tried in a first-time tongue-tie; can't be recommended. |
33/1 |

11th 10 (3) |
28th Aug 2023 Good 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Well beaten in a handicap on reappearance in May, before winning a Thirsk seller (6f, good to firm) next time; left Kevin Ryan after being well beaten in a Pontefract handicap next time and was last of seven in a Wolverhampton claimer latest; handy mark if she can be revived. |
