16th May 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Largely consistent maiden; third in AW novice event most recently (seasonal debut); likely to give his running but may struggle to defy top weight back in a handicap, with record 0-15. |

Maiden who's had plenty of chances; better since switched to Tapeta in blinkers (runs in a visor today) but he's going beyond 1m for the first time and will need to settle better if he's to stay this far. |

16th May 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Regained the winning thread in January (7f, AW) and has remained in form since, most recently fourth at Ayr (7f, good to firm) returned to turf; could well pick up more prize-money. |
15/2 |

4th 3 (2) |
4th May 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Kept on strongly for 7f AW win in January and has remained in good form since; placed twice under today's 7lb claimer Gianluca Sanna on turf last year; ought to be in the shake-up. |
9/2 |

4th 4 (2) |
14th Mar 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Kept on strongly to score at Newcastle (7f) in January and has finished second on both subsequent outings; probably doesn't have much margin for error off her career-high mark but ought to give another good account. |

29th May 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Sole win (18 races) was in 2021; runner-up over C&D (good to firm) last July off 6lb higher and had other places last year; latest start suggested he could be returning to form and the cheekpieces (absent this season) are back today; considered. |
6/1 |
|
5th 14 (1) |
16th May 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
Best form at 6f/7f; won off 1lb higher as a 2yo and placed several times last year; finished last here on reappearance but 5.5f was likely on the sharp side; going back up in trip is a plus. |
25/1 |

16th May 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Midfield, seeming to need the run, in 1m contest here (good to soft) on seasonal debut; likely to improve on that effort, especially with his stable in excellent form since last Thursday and visor reapplied (last two wins in headgear); respected off a workable mark back down in distance. |

7th 7 (2) |
30th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Last success came in the 2022 Leger Legends race at Doncaster; only ninth in handicap here (1m, good to soft) on seasonal debut but may fare better with that outing under his belt. |

All wins on Tapeta at Newcastle; respectable fourth there, despite meeting traffic issues, on sole outing this year; frame possibilities if proving as effective back on turf. |

Back to form with a bang in 2022, winning three handicaps here (twice over this trip); returns from a five-month break at a realistic level; has run well off a steady pace in the past but he wouldn't ideally be suited by a dawdle. |

Successful once on turf in 2021 and three times on AW in 2022; perhaps partly beaten by the 1m trip here on reappearance but the bare result (finished last of 14) tempers enthusiasm. |

30th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Record in four starts on Tapeta since August reads 1121 including two wins over C&D, the latest when beating 13 rivals 11 days ago; 3lb higher in a better race, but still has to make the shortlist in his current form. |

16th May 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
All wins at 6f on slow ground; has form figures of 121 since returned to turf this spring, the latest success at Hamilton, and looks better than ever; big player under 5lb penalty provided she's as effective back at 7f. |

1st 2 (2) |
7th May 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins last season included one over C&D and she has hit the ground running since returned to turf last month, winning easily at Redcar (6f, soft) and going down narrowly in a 15-runner contest at Thirsk (6f, soft) despite an 8lb rise; major claims provided the ground doesn't dry out too much. |

0-16 since 2yo debut win (was useful in that first campaign); however, has been shaping with some promise of late, seventh in big field at Gowran Park (7f, yielding) last time; this Irish raider may be running into form and looks interesting off a reduced mark. |

No further success since debut 5f Curragh for Aidan O'Brien at two; modest Dundalk form for current yard since returning in November, blowing the start last month; down in grade here off career-low mark but may want better ground. |
