Six wins on turf and 0-9 on the AW, though was only beaten a head here (8.6f) last October and is now 3lb lower; each-way claims. |

2nd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |

Six-time turf winner but his last success was in August 2023; returned to form with a close call at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in October but diminishing returns since and was only fourth of five on his Bath reappearance (1m, firm) last month; others preferred. |

31st Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
C&D winner as a 2yo and back to form when successful at Kempton (7f; solid form) in October; below that level twice since but better than the result when seventh of 12 over C&D latterly having been caught wide from the outside stall; has fared better with the draw this time and could be dangerous having dipped to only 1lb above the mark he defied at Kempton. |

22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Ran okay in a hot race over C&D last month and duly built on that when winning by a cosy neck 12 days ago (also C&D); major claims off 3lb higher; a positive showing from Waistcoat, who he beat last time, in the 6.40 would increase confidence. |

10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Good second over 6f here in April when rated 7lb higher; not come close to that level since, including over C&D 16 days ago; drops in class but with enough to prove. |

11st 5lb |
Record of 211 since wearing visor, the wins at Southwell (7f, AW) and Newmarket (1m, good to firm); back on career-high mark and back up in class but may have more to offer in the retained headgear. |

15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner for Charlie Johnston in June 2023; off the mark for this yard over 7f at Southwell when visored for only a second time and he kept on gamely; just 3lb higher. |

1st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
0-14 since a 1m Newmarket handicap win for Charlie Johnston in June 2023, but latest 1m Doncaster second was only his second outing for Denis Quinn and he went through that race as if this drop back to 7f may be in his favour. |

Just one win from 14 starts but he's been placed in his last four handicaps and didn't get much luck in a Racing League event at Windsor (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago; on same mark as for that close third and he's respected. |

16th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Bettered disappointing seasonal debut when respectable fourth at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) a fortnight ago, but needs to take another step in the right direction here and his tendency to race too freely remains a nagging concern. |

1st Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Leicester novice winner (7f, good to firm) last October after having been gelded/undergone wind surgery, but beaten a long way on return from six months off at Musselburgh (7f, good to soft) in April; possible that the ground didn't suit and it was a much stronger race than this one, so no surprise if he left that effort behind. |

Has been well beaten first time out in each of his three seasons, so it may be best to forgive last month's Kempton reappearance (1m, AW); won over C&D as a 2yo and back off the same mark as when winning at Goodwood (1m, good to firm) last summer; drying ground in his favour and respected for stable that won this with Mamillius in 2019 and 2022. |
