12th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 44y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Without a win since May 2023 and only four ran when second in a 2m Newbury handicap in July; new cheekpieces did nothing for him when down the field at York last time and he now goes in blinkers. |
6/1 |

20th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Ran creditably on good to firm ground on his first and penultimate turf attempts this season; beaten a neck by Almuhit over 2m in the latter but in just a four-runner race; edging down the weights but others are a bit more persuasive; no win since May 2023 and connections turn to headgear. |
14/1 |

5th 5 (7) |
2nd Aug 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Ran respectably on soft here two years ago; downgraded from Group contests to handicaps for last five outings, running creditably on first and latest attempts this season; they were over 1m6f and 2m, beaten a neck last time but in just a four-runner race; this event is more competitive. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Minor honours in Group 3 and Listed race at Royal Ascot 2023 and 2024; however, he was not so hot at that meeting this year and finished last of six in 1m1f course Group 3 last time after a further four months off; plenty to prove at present. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Minor honours in Group 3 and Listed race at Royal Ascot 2023 and 2024, both on good to firm; however, he was not so hot at that meeting this year, wearing first-time cheekpieces after a year's absence; very lightly raced for his age and he has a chance if back on song. |

6th Oct 2023 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Close third behind Starshiba and Miami Thunder in similar event over C&D when last seen ten weeks ago, doing well considering he perhaps didn't have the ideal track position; gelded since (hasn't always looked straightforward); retains low mileage and may do better still; possibilities. |
4/1 |

10th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Maiden winner who ran poorly on his handicap debut at Chester (1m2f) but got back on track with a close third at Newcastle (1m); gelded since and Buick is booked, so one to consider. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 5 (3) |
29th Jul 2023 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Didn't need to improve on earlier efforts to win a 1m maiden at Ayr last month (made all as the 2-7 favourite); ran poorly at Chester (1m2f, good to soft) on his handicap debut four weeks ago; better than that but he needs to bounce back quickly; visor off. |

27th Aug 2023 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
His debut win at Kempton in late 2021 worked out well; market drifter when well beaten in a Sandown novice on his return from a long absence but was far more competitive in a 1m2f handicap at Newmarket last month; tongue-tie tried there is now absent but has to be of interest. |
4/1 |
|
4th 1 (7) |
21st Jul 2023 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
10st 3lb |
Kempton winner in late 2021, the form of which worked out well; however, was not seen again until two months ago when unable to cope with some useful 3yos in a decent novice; had been gelded (also had wind surgery) prior to that and he was a market drifter; big ask to bounce back under top weight in this useful handicap. |

in touch with leaders, left in lead under 3f out, ridden and headed under 3f out, weakened from over 1f out, lost third inside final 110yds |

Poor maiden who failed to beat a rival in 1m2f handicap at Windsor 33 days ago; it's easy to look elsewhere. |

27th Feb 2025 Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |

Two Flat wins, the latest in a seller at Goodwood last August, but well beaten at triple-figure odds this winter on both hurdle starts. |

Won a Flat seller for Hughie Morrison last summer (1m3f, good to soft; RPR 71) but was safely held in Taunton novice hurdle (2m, good) for new stable in December. |
