3rd Jan 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Hinted at possible return to form when 40-1 fourth over C&D last month but was back in the doldrums at Kempton a fortnight later and now has it all to prove again. |

Comfortably his best run since wind surgery when fourth of 12 over 7f at Lingfield a fortnight ago; has handicapping scope if he can build on that. |

27th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Winless in 2025 but he is 3-6 over C&D and has settled matters quite emphatically on his last two starts; back up 3lb but weighted to have another race in him and it could well be this one. |
2/1 |
|
1st 2 (2) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ended a lengthy losing run when beating Colors Of Freedom in a classified event over C&D two weeks ago (reported to have bled from nose); has 8lb rise to deal with back in a handicap but he remains well treated on old form and all three wins have been on AW; respected. |

awkward start, lost many lengths start, in rear |

15th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Yet to win and form this year has been uneven; not beaten far in a first-time hood at Newcastle last time but hardly a solid betting proposition. |

23rd May 2025 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Three-time Wolverhampton 7f winner who rarely runs on turf or in sprints these days; usually has plenty of use made of him but whether he'll be able to hold a pitch, down in trip from the outside stall, remains to be seen. |
20/1 |

16th Sep 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Six-race maiden who finished last in two handicaps and a classified over 5f this summer; needs this new trip to enable huge improvement. |
50/1 |
|
9th 7 (3) |
31st Aug 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Minor form in three novice events and two handicaps but she suffered some interference over C&D in the first of them and was hampered early over 6f on the AW since; not dismissed down in grade. |
33/1 |
|
10th 6 (6) |
25th Jul 2023 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Only beaten one rival in her four starts and she looked to be in trouble when briefly short of room on her recent handicap debut at Bath (5f, good); still early days but not easily recommended. |
25/1 |
