11th Apr 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 2 |

Not straightforward but his record for current stable features a useful win at Newmarket (2m2f) last September; creditable second (off 1lb lower) in this race last year; place possibilities. |

12th Oct 2024 Soft 2m 0f 56y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Five wins in his time with Phil Kirby; four runs for Tracy Waggott and better than ever when winning the Cesarewitch Trial at Newmarket (2m2f, good to firm) under Aiden Brookes on latest; probably fine in the mud and won a C&D race last term, so should have a big say despite going back up 4lb. |

10st 13lb |
27-race maiden (0-7 over hurdles); didn't run badly on last month's stable debut at Catterick, when back from some time off, and she's edging down the weights; non-runner on account of soft ground at Sedgefield on Friday. |

Four-time C&D winner, the latest in July, and he's continued in good form here the next twice; solid claims. |

3rd 7 (6) |
21st Aug 2023 Soft 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Likes it here and has run well over C&D on his last three starts, with a third under Lois Teal (good to soft) being followed by a win (good) and a near miss (good to soft); solid claims off the same mark as last time. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 2 (8) |
8th Aug 2023 Soft 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Four wins over C&D, the latest last month when scoring narrowly off a 4lb lower mark (good); suited by good ground or softer but has never won off a mark this high. |

Unplaced in 14 Flat runs and he didn't get very far on his recent hurdling debut at Cartmel (unseated at first); opposable. |

25th Jul 2023 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
10st 12lb |
Doesn't win all that often (2-27) and hasn't really kicked on since finishing runner-up at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in May; that said, there were mitigating circumstances (hampered) at Newcastle last time, so he may get closer to Point Louise. |
12/1 |

7th 10 (12) |
30th Jun 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
10st 8lb |
Went close at Redcar last month and he's effective here; not discounted but his profile has been patchy over the last 12 months and he was soundly beaten at Nottingham last time; has to bounce back. |

10th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 5f 218y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
More than a year since he ran well on the Flat and the switch to blinkers didn't help last time (returns to the usual cheekpieces today); would be a surprise winner upped from 1m2f. |
25/1 |
|
8th 7 (3) |
30th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |

On a lengthy losing sequence and he failed to beat a rival in 1m4f handicap at Leicester last month; blinkers replace the usual cheekpieces here with plenty to prove. |

9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |

Convincing winner at Catterick (2m, good) in August and following effort was respectable; ran no race last time at Chester but wouldn't be without hope if back on song. |
20/1 |
|
11th 13 (1) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 1m 7f 196y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Returned to turf with convincing win at Catterick (2m good) last month and has the plum inside draw here but had to settle for fifth off new mark a fortnight ago and may find younger rivals better handicapped again. |
12/1 |
|
1 (8) |
28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Five-time AW winner whose success at Catterick (2m, good) three weeks ago was a first win on turf for nearly four years; might need a fraction more up 4lb but that was a pretty convincing success; Colin Keane's first ride for the yard; respected. |

3rd Aug 2023 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
First run in blinkers was encouraging (beaten 1l at Redcar; 1m2f, good to firm) before losing his way again; perhaps another change of headgear can benefit and each-way claims if that's the case. |
13/2 |
|
5th 2 (10) |
21st Jul 2023 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Much better effort in first-time blinkers when a close fourth at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in May but he failed to back that up over C&D last month; got hampered in that race but he's now 0-9 and others are more convincing. |
10/1 |
|
6th 8 (4) |
7th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Maiden after eight runs but seemed to benefit from combination of first-time blinkers and return to fast ground when close fourth behind the runner-up The New Marwan at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) nine days ago; sound claims. |

Sole win was a novice race last April before he went handicapping; reappearance was the only time he's come close to making the most of his fall in the weights but that was four starts ago and over 7f on AW. |
