9th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Paid dearly for his 5l success at Carlisle (7.7f, good to soft) in June; edging back down the weights now and not beaten far when sixth of 12 in a first-time tongue-tie at Ayr (1m, good to soft) last time, but still more needed; stable also runs Golden Melody. |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Tapeta specialist who returned from a short break with an eye-catching third at Newcastle (1m) two weeks ago; has claims if he can back that up, but he's 0-11 on turf and has had only one run in this sphere in his last 14 starts; mixed messages. |
8/1 |

3rd 2 (3) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Four wins in the early part of 2025 including three over C&D; down to a handy mark again but he generally struggled during the winter and was beaten 11l at Wolverhampton (7f) last time; has something to prove after a short break and he needs a major revival back up in trip. |

3rd Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Four wins in the early part of 2025 (7f and 1m); down to a handy mark again and his penultimate effort was a step back in the right direction; disappointed 12 days ago (slowly away) but a revival isn't out of the question. |

19th Nov 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Remains a maiden and he's not proved the easiest to catch right this term, only tenth over C&D 16 days ago; cheekpieces are reached for now. |
16/1 |

10th 8 (10) |
3rd Nov 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Much better from the front over C&D last time, when having Angel Amadea just behind; that gave something to build on but this looks more competitive and he's exposed as ordinary under both codes. |
8/1 |

2nd 1 (8) |
29th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Maiden (0-14 all codes, 0-7 Flat); has shown a modest level of form in each of his last three starts (6f-1m, turf), falling sharply in the weights as a result; tough to consider even though this is just his second AW appearance. |

8th Feb 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Ended a 14-race losing run in a 0-50 classified event over C&D last month (fourth course win) and ran just as well when second of ten in a handicap (clear of the third) over the same trip back here last time; the winner is 3-3 since so a 4lb rise may not prevent another big run. |

Pulled up on hurdle debut last month but he bounced back with a smooth win over C&D (classified event) 18 days ago; that was his ninth success in this sphere and he's only been nudged up 1lb for that win; key player. |

9st 2lb |
Without a win since June 2021 and generally very disappointing since switching to current stable in October but some positives can be drawn from his recent run at Ayr and he's very well suited by this C&D; no forlorn hope in refitted cheekpieces. |

Won twice last season, the second over C&D off a 3lb lower mark in July (good); hasn't added to her tally this time, but not disgraced in three 8.5f handicaps at Hamilton on first three starts (7f too short last time); interesting. |

Patchy form during a winless 2022 and well beaten on sole run this year (in February); however, he's won on both visits to Hamilton (in summer 2021) and is below his last winning mark; can't be written off. |

Has plenty of form over C&D including two wins; losing run up to 18, but he has never raced down at this level before so can't be dismissed by any means; stable also runs Sorted. |

13th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |

Four C&D wins on good or slower (handles good to firm, not at best in one run on firm); not at his best this year but that is reflected in his much-reduced mark; risky but not impossible. |

Flat winner is 0-13 over hurdles; didn't run terribly at Down Royal in December off this mark; should be sharper for latest run at Wexford when made late gains from the back; could outrun likely odds. |

Dual C&D winner (from marks in the mid 50s); started off the turf season reasonably well - placed on three occasions - but hasn't been quite so sharp in more recent times, including when finishing sixth of 11 (behind Elettaria) in first-time cheekpieces at Beverley last time. |

20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

2-42; slipped leaving the stalls over C&D last time but, while that's easily excused, hasn't been shaping like a winner waiting to happen either; it's possible that with a clear run, he might have sneaked into the frame at Wetherby (7f) in April; others more obvious. |
