21st May 2023 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Placed on his three starts (1m-8.6f, soft/AW), with the form of last month's second at Wolverhampton having been given a big boost subsequently; gelded since; his fine pedigree suggests he will improve for the step up in trip on handicap debut and there's lots to like. |

11th Apr 2023 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Well-bred colt who was placed twice in October, more recently when keeping on for clear third of 13 on AW debut at Kempton (1m); will play a major role if in similar form here. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 5f 216y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
A poor show last May prompted a second wind operation and it was a solid campaign otherwise; never better than when second this February in 2m AW handicaps at Wolverhampton and Lingfield, but peak turf form isn't far behind it and he'll probably be on the premises. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 1 (2) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Developed into a useful handicapper on the Flat for Hugo Palmer last year; having rejoined Olly Murphy, he continued the good work when second on 2m Wolverhampton reappearance three weeks ago, with reopposing pair Enemy and Brasil Power narrowly behind in third/fourth; likely to go well again. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 1 (6) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Developed into a useful handicapper, including on AW, last year for Hugo Palmer; close third in the Mallard at Doncaster on final outing; however, needs a career-best performance to defy current mark on first run since rejoining Olly Murphy. |

23rd Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Continues to tumble down the weights and he's one to watch in the betting in a first-time tongue-tie, but he's been well beaten on all three starts this season and a major turnaround is required. |
16/1 |
|
11th 8 (5) |
11th Aug 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Gained both wins over C&D but seems badly to have lost his way since his dead-heat here last June; well-beaten 50-1 shot on both appearances this year; considered only if much stronger in the betting today. |
12/1 |
|
14th 11 (4) |
14th May 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Both wins at Ripon (1m, good to firm), the latest from 5lb higher last summer; hasn't beaten many in his last four starts including on his recent Thirsk reappearance; best watched for now. |

21st Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Well-beaten fifth in first two handicaps in May/June (1m2f, good) and returns from a break with something to prove, but he's been gelded since and that may help this lightly raced 3yo tap back into his earlier promise (including on soft/heavy ground); interesting contender. |
12/1 |

23rd Jun 2023 Good To Soft 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Opened his account in 1m2f Kempton novice in April but came in a well-held fifth on his handicap debut at Ripon (1m2f) following month; cheekpieces are reached for now with more required. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
His six successes include four last season; retains all his ability but he's still above his last winning mark and he was only eighth at York last Saturday. |
16/1 |
|
8th 8 (18) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Started 2025 with three wins; wasn't as forward for this year's reappearance but quickly back on form when second (Kats Bob fourth) of nine at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago. |
12/1 |

2nd 4 (8) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Started 2025 with three wins but didn't seem as forward for this year's reappearance, never threatening at Ripon 16 days ago; he'll need to have come on a bit but is nicely handicapped again if staging a revival. |

4th May 2026 Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Backed up a good run on the AW with a fourth here last week when just behind Knightmare; a tongue-tie returns along with new blinkers; thereabouts. |
5/1 |

27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |

Showed clear signs of a return to form with fourth-place finish in latest AW start and he is just as effective on turf; possibilities off 1lb below last winning mark. |
3/1 |
|
4th 2 (2) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 5f 66y Class 6 |

On last winning mark but his two efforts this year leave a big doubt over current form; best watched unless the market speaks positively. |

15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 90y |
11st 12lb |
A long-standing 32-race maiden who has proved frustrating but consistent, finishing runner-up 13 times; 12 chase runs, beaten 5l into fifth at Wexford eight days ago in handicap off 112; one of his best efforts came over this C&D last year; capable of winning a contest of this nature. |
7/1 |

7th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
12st 0lb |
Long-standing maiden; has run well in defeat over fences and hurdles, including runner-up in 2m2f Cork handicap chase, most recently beaten under 2l when fifth of 8 in steadily-run 2m Tramore novice handicap chase last month; ground to suit and definite contender. |
13/2 |
|
5th 4 |
19th Apr 2026 Soft 1m 7f 110y |
11st 7lb |
Long-standing maiden; has run well in defeat over fences and hurdles; heavy ground a valid excuse on latest and is 4lb lower than when a 9l runner up in a much stronger race than this at Cork (17.5f, good) in October; has run well here before and he's a player. |
