19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won a Southwell maiden hurdle (2m4f, good; first-time tongue-tie) and a Carlisle Flat handicap (2m1f, soft) last summer, but handicap hurdle debut in September was too bad to be true; however, he made a promising return here over 2m 17 days ago when shaping as though he'd improve for the outing; interesting back up in trip. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Won a Southwell maiden hurdle (2m4f, good; first-time tongue-tie) and a Carlisle Flat handicap (2m1f, soft) last summer; off since September; likely to be better for the run. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Came good over hurdles at third attempt, with clearcut success at Southwell (2m4f, good; first-time tongue-tie) in June, and added a Flat win one month later; could still have untapped potential over jumps; one to consider. |

3rd Jun 2023 Good 1m 6f 115y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Placed early this year in three AW maidens (subsequently gelded) and he went down by a neck in another at Chester (1m4f, soft) three weeks ago on turf debut in first-time cheekpieces; made most and kept going in the last named, so this longer trip for handicap debut may well be within reach. |

9st 7lb |
led at steady pace, pushed along and went clear 3f out, much reduced lead over 1f out, soon ridden and headed, rallied final furlong, just held |

14th Feb 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Eight-race maiden but runner-up in her last two handicaps and that latest second was behind an improver at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) 11 days ago; on same mark here and she's a big player on this drop back in trip. |
7/4 |
|
2nd 7 (3) |
3rd Feb 2024 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Sole appearance here (penultimate start) was not as good as her other two runs in handicaps but she was beaten just over 3l so it was respectable; found only a notably progressive rival too good for her at Lingfield (1m5f, Polytrack) last time and has major claims on that performance. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 7 (10) |
14th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Fifth in both handicap runs, beaten just over 3l when returned to 1m4f at Wolverhampton 12 days ago; today's longer trip needs to spark extra. |

24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Won at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) in November on final run for Micky Hammond and again ran well when third on recent stable debut there (2m1f, good to soft), where shaping as though this longer trip would be worth exploring. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
3rd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Two wins for Micky Hammond, the latest a C&D handicap in November (soft; beat That One by 5.5l); progressive sort who should go well on stable debut despite 7lb rise; tongue-tie on for the first time. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 12 |
2nd Nov 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 33y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
A fair Flat maiden for William Haggas; won a Perth maiden hurdle and went on to be beaten 3l and 11l in his two handicaps; each-way claims if fit enough to do himself justice. |

22nd Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 3f 15y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Successful in five-runner handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, good) last Sunday, opening his account at the 15th attempt; clear possibilities in his bid for a quickfire Scottish double. |
2/1 |

1st 2 (5) |
15th Sep 2024 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
raced in third behind clear leaders, pressed leaders against rail 3f out, edged right when disputed lead 2f out, sustained duel with runner-up from over 1f out, led final 110yds, won going away |
5/1 |
|
3rd 1 (2) |
4th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Looked as though he might be on the way back when third of eight on return from 320 days off at Thirsk (1m4f, good to soft) in July, but has gone quiet again twice since; now 0-13 and hard to warm to despite dropping into a Class 6 for the first time. |
