9st 8lb |
Three wins over 6f/7f on turf this year but he didn't appear to get home when fifth of ten at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last time; has run well on Tapeta and the return to this trip should suit on Polytrack debut after a short break, but he is drawn wider than ideal. |

14-race maiden; encouraging start for this yard when second of ten at Goodwood in June (7f, good to firm) but backward steps since, notably when virtually refusing to race at Thirsk last month (reared as the stalls opened); risky. |

Back-to-back AW wins in the spring, latterly over C&D; made a good return from eight weeks off when second at Brighton (7f, good to firm) 11 days ago; considered back here. |

Form has dipped slightly since two AW wins in March/April and remains on a 2lb higher mark than for the most recent win; however, he posted a better effort at Newbury in June, having been denied a clear run before finishing his race off well, and is worth considering on the back of that. |

Got back on track in first-time cheekpieces when fourth of 11 in 7f Newbury handicap 11 days ago; still quite lightly raced so he's not discounted with the headgear retained in his bid for a first win. |

Didn't go on as a 2yo but gelded afterwards and he was well backed when finishing strongly for second on his handicap debut at Haydock (7f, good to firm); that form was franked by the first and fourth horses earlier this week; big shout with further progress on the cards. |

Did well to finish fifth at Chelmsford (1m, AW) last time, having been slowly away and met traffic issues; however, now 0-18 and chance of first win partly depends on how well he takes to first-time hood. |

19th Oct 2023 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Well handicapped on his best form but he's still a maiden after 17 starts and has finished down the field in three runs (7f-1m2f) for current yard; down the list. |

16-race maiden, over various trips; 7f seems as good as any and, although below par in his two runs for this yard, he return to form at some point soon. |

Successful twice over 7f on AW this spring; disappointing in two starts back on turf, taking record in this sphere to 0-4; percentage call is to oppose her. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

Wildly inconsistent mare whose C&D dead-heat in February (third course win) came from out of the blue at 33-1; reverted to type since and it's hard to know what to expect as always. |

Has not run on turf since 2023 and this is the first time she's ever gone beyond 7f; typically inconsistent since since eight-month layoff and it could well be all or nothing again. |

Bit of promise over sprint trips last term but has failed to beat a rival in two handicaps (7f/1m) this season; hopes of improvement rest on the first-time hood and 1m2f trip. |
