Well beaten in three runs for his current stable, including over C&D last time; new headgear tried here but looks up against it. |

2-2 at Musselburgh, the wins gained over 7f/1m in April 2021; now a 9yo and looks far from solid on 2023 form (mostly AW) but the return to this venue gives cause for optimism. |

8st 9lb |
Dual C&D winner (from marks in the mid 50s); started off the turf season reasonably well - placed on three occasions - but hasn't been quite so sharp in more recent times, including when finishing sixth of 11 (behind Elettaria) in first-time cheekpieces at Beverley last time. |

29th Mar 2024 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Front-runner who won five times on turf last season (7f/1m); probably needed his return from seven months off at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) 11 days ago, but a concern that he is 1-21 on the AW and has been well held in both starts on Polytrack. |

18th Mar 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Enjoyed a revival and won five times on turf last season (7f-1m), including his last three races; also effective on Tapeta but a 201-day break may have checked his momentum. |
12/1 |
|
1st 5 (5) |
30th Aug 2023 Good 0m 7f 33y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Second in this last year and he's twice made all over 1m here this season; arrives on a hat-trick following two wins at Beverley (7.4f, heavy/good to firm) and he'll be tough to reel in if his fine form continues. |

In career-best form on the Flat this year, winning twice over 1m on Tapeta at Newcastle (latest RPR 86); should be fine stamina-wise over hurdles and has possibilities here if he finds some fluency. |

17th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
4-27 at Hamilton, which has dominated his itinerary but he also has two wins elsewhere; made a respectable return to Flat over C&D two weeks ago under Lexie Clarkson and could build on that to get seriously involved. |

3rd May 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 5 |

Four-time course winner, most recently over today's trip (good to soft) in September; ended 2025 with two below-par hurdle runs, though, and would appeal more on ground slower than good. |

15th Jul 2023 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |

Resumed winning ways at Ayr (1m2f) in May but he's been well below par since, only tenth at Musselburgh (9f) ten days ago; he needs to get back on track. |

5th Jul 2023 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |

Won for the second time on turf at Ayr (1m2f, good) in May but despite that form looking solid enough, he's been some way below that in two subsequent starts; bit to prove dropping slightly in trip. |
