13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Reeled off a hat-trick last September, with second leg over C&D (good); got back near best when scoring at Leicester (5f, good to firm) in the spring but he's been disappointing since and has been a long way below form in last two runs; down the list. |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Reeled off a quick hat-trick last September, including over C&D; better than ever when winning at Leicester in April (5f, good to firm); not so good since but he is now 1lb lower than for the Leicester win. |
14/1 |

28th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Well held in last two starts but he ran into two well-handicapped rivals when third at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) last month; now only 1lb higher than for his front-running win at Leicester in April and has claims if he can get back near that level. |

23rd Oct 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Unplaced all four starts for Michael Appleby and now 0-14 overall; didn't run badly over 6f last time and is not fully exposed over 7f but others in this field have much stronger claims. |
20/1 |
|
7th 6 (10) |
30th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has some competitive form but not been firing of late and he's drawn wide; now 0-13. |
8/1 |

11th 6 (11) |
21st Sep 2023 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
12-race maiden; has bits of encouraging form and this is just his third run for Mick Appleby, but he's not proven over this far and looks opposable on balance; well beaten in his two runs with a visor for former yard and now tries cheekpieces. |

12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Veteran who is on a lengthy losing run; can lead but didn't at Windsor last time and was never involved; if on his game he wouldn't be without hope. |
8/1 |
|
6th 8 (2) |
7th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Veteran who is on a losing run of 22; knocking on the door on AW when last seen and he won't mind getting back on the grass; has made the running but it is not a prerequisite; could go well. |
13/2 |
|
4th 10 (3) |
12th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Veteran with nine wins on his record, all over sprint trips; stays this far though and he holds each-way claims once more. |

3rd May 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Won twice over this trip at Wolverhampton and Chelmsford last spring, though is just 3-42 overall and recent efforts don't suggest his strike-rate is about to improve; first-time visor made no difference ten days ago. |

23rd Apr 2024 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
C&D winner last spring who lacks consistency now and was below market expectations here last time; perhaps the switch of headgear will do the trick. |

24th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dropped right out on his sole course run, in May, but comes into it on his best turf form and also some AW handicap runs over the winter; capable of a big run at this easier level. |
8/1 |

7th 8 (7) |
13th Jun 2024 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Now 15lb lower than when winning at Chelmsford last November; that is indicative of a decline in his form though and the return to turf didn't help matters at Bath three weeks ago. |

25th May 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Not as good as he was but he has run a couple of good races over 5f on Tapeta this spring; has C&D form but others make more appeal. |
7/1 |

8th May 2023 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

swerved left start, raced in last, soon pushed along |

8th 4 (3) |
20th Apr 2023 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
He has dropped a long way in the weights and he ran creditably in a 5f seller at Wolverhampton ten days ago (first-time visor, retained); a bit more will be needed back in a handicap. |
10/1 |
