4th Oct 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Strong traveller who got back in the groove last time; will need to improve on previous AW efforts in a competitive handicap but he's one to consider for a yard in decent form. |

8th Sep 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Having only his second start on turf when making it sixth-time lucky at Leicester (7f, good to firm) in June, but well short of that form at Newbury (7f, good to firm) three weeks later; off 73 days since and interesting to see if the market suggests he might bounce back. |

1st Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Without a win since May 2023 and generally very disappointing for current stable since last spring; ran okay behind Purple Martini over C&D two starts ago but still makes only limited appeal; sports refitted cheekpieces and first-time tongue-tie. |

10th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
1-20; continues to ease in the weights, down to a career-low mark, but hasn't shown enough in either of his last two starts (both 7f at Musselburgh) to suggest his turn is imminent; these newly applied blinkers need to work their magic. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
Second of 14 over C&D in October and had an excuse (hampered, then lit up) over C&D in November when last seen; however, he's inconsistent and needs to be at the top of his game on this return from a break. |

17th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Not firing on all cylinders since a wind op in July; returning to AW may help but this looks a competitive race in which to try and bounce back. |

1st Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Won off today's mark at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) in May and ran okay when fifth to Filey Beach over this C&D (good to soft) last time, but he needs something extra if he's to pose a threat today. |

6th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Seven-race maiden whose best RPRs have been achieved over 7f, the most recent on penultimate start; has not progressed but the drop back to this trip may help, along with his reduced mark; shortlisted. |

6th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Not built on his early promise and twice comfortably held in handicaps (1m, soft; 1m2f, good); hood fitted the last twice is left off and he drops back in distance, but comes with risks. |

9th Jul 2023 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Collared in the last stride over 7f at Wolverhampton in November, her second racecourse start; no progress this year, including in handicaps on her last four starts; dropping down the weights and this her first run in a Class 6; still has time to do better. |
9/1 |

28th Jun 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Going the wrong way judged on RPRs, a refusal to settle compounding matters at Leicester latest; best effort so far in handicaps came granted the same 7f/Polytrack combination as tonight, and 6lb lower now than then. |

6th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Not offered a huge amount in either of her handicaps, over 7f on the AW and 6f on good to firm; now goes in a tongue-tie; others have more pressing claims. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won three in a row at Southwell (1m, AW) earlier this year and solid second there (1m) a fortnight ago; he won here in 2024 and holds strong claims if transferring his fine recent form back to turf. |

7th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has been in good form since the turn of the year and completed a C&D hat-trick when pulling clear to record a comfortable success 40 days ago; now steps back up in grade off this 9lb higher mark but he's still fairly treated on his old form. |

30th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Longstanding, regressive maiden who's been as far as 1m and has finished held in a couple of runs over 5f lately, including from out of the weights at the weekend; the lowest rated contender, so again has something to find. |
