8st 10lb |
Very useful over middle-distances in his prime but was badly out of sorts on AW when last seen in the winter; drops back in trip and sports first-time cheekieces; considered if lively in the betting. |

12th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Landed another Chester win in May but behind Stressfree, Have Secret and Paddy The Squire there last month, albeit perhaps just needing the outing after 11 weeks off; acts on heavy. |

14th Sep 2024 Heavy 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
C&D winner on soft and good to firm at the last two May meetings; below par at Epsom and Newcastle this summer but returns from an 11-week break only 1lb above the mark he defied in May. |

29th Jun 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 3 |

Enhanced his good Chester record there in May (1m2f, good to firm); comfortably held off this mark at Epsom since but good chance he'll bounce back and Wolverhampton exploits bode well for his first visit here. |

6th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
10st 9lb |
Needs to be delivered late off a strong pace to be at his best and it's not worked out for him this season, including in three races at Pontefract where he has a good record; continues to creep down the weights. |

9yo who has been a grand servant to the yard with nine wins but he's not so good as he once was; needs to be delivered late off a strong pace to be at his best; now on a career-low mark and others preferred. |

9th Jul 2023 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Improved for a step up in trip over the winter, reeling off a four-timer over the extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton in January/February; came up short off a BHA mark in the 90s on his next three starts but he was back on track with a game effort over 1m here 17 days ago (front two clear); the combination of a 4lb rise and a drop in trip could find him out today. |

29th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Has a record of 4-7 at this venue, mostly for Chris Wall, including wins in this race for the last two years; out of sorts for new yard this term but a revival is entirely possible off a handy mark back here; hard to leave off the shortlist. |
8/1 |

8th 1 (2) |
14th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 3 |
10st 3lb |
Course scorer for Chris Wall but he's yet to fire in three runs for his current yard, very slowly away when last of ten at Newmarket in June; lots more is required after a break. |
20/1 |

10th 2 (8) |
30th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |

Acts on good to soft; ridden by 7lb claimer Kaiya Fraser on last four outings, winning on the Rowley course at Newmarket on his last two runs of 2022 (for Chris Wall) but below form this term; has a competitive mark if surging back to his best. |

14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Hasn't won for more than two years, but sound effort when length second over C&D in May (good to firm); each-way chance. |
8/1 |

10th 2 (1) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
11st 1lb |
No win since June 2024 off 15lb higher and he's never made much of an impact in his five AW races; he's still shown more than enough on turf this season to be considered, however. |
