9th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Boasts a good record at Pontefract, where he should have notched a fourth win early last month, and today's similarly stiff 1m2f should suit; not as consistent now, unsurprisingly given his age, but is still more than capable at this level. |
8/1 |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Unraced here; goes particularly well at Pontefract where he just failed to catch Star Start over 1m2f last time; stays this far and should be on the scene. |

6th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
9yo who has an excellent record at Pontefract, most recently taking advantage of a reduced mark in a 1m2f amateurs' event in June under Serena Brotherton; back up 4lb and well beaten at Haydock latest but has to be of interest back here unless the ground is softer than good. |

10th Feb 2024 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 4 |

Won four amateur riders' races on turf last year but, following a break, looked badly out of sorts on all four AW starts last month. |

31st Jan 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won four times in amateur races for Brodie Hampson last year; sent off at huge prices and she's struggled in three runs this month; dropped 7lb as a result and Hollie Doyle takes over; interesting to see if there's any market interest now down in class. |

Has lots of form under Henry Main, notably two wins in 2021; three-year losing spell is a big negative but current mark is attractive; not ruled out. |

16th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
8st 4lb |
Six wins for Ian Williams including three over C&D, but lost his way including after moving to this yard; latest fifth of nine at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) was a bit better, but not enough to make him of interest. |
33/1 |

5th 2 (3) |
9th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Won at Hamilton (1m3f, good) and Kempton (1m4f, AW) for Ian Williams last May but he's lost his way since his last success and has been beaten 9l or more in five runs for current yard; mark is tumbling but he has a lot to prove. |

Ex-Andrew Balding; ten-race maiden who was well beaten over 2m on Musselburgh reappearance (good); probably better at this shorter trip; well beaten only previous run on fast ground; cheekpieces now tried; place claims on best efforts. |

9st 1lb |
Placed several times, including 7l second at Chelmsford (1m5f) on reappearance; has each-way hopes but looks far from guaranteed to go one better, being still a maiden at the age of seven. |

15-race maiden and has been below par on his last two starts; dropping back in trip not sure to suit and first-time visor replaces cheekpieces; others preferred. |
