25th Jan 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Into the veteran stage of his career; not the force of old but he's falling in the weights and he wasn't disgraced when sixth of 11 at Southwell five weeks ago; impossible to discount. |

Ran well at Kempton on his return to action in January but he hasn't built on it since; this is a drop in grade but others look safer. |

Consistent rather than progressive maiden; strong favourite for a Lingfield handicap ten days ago (7f) but he pulled far too hard early and could only manage second; returns to sprinting and still has time to do better. |

17th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Front-runner and dual C&D winner, the latest from 5lb higher just under a year ago; 0-16 in the meantime, though, and needs to do better than when returned to the AW at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) a fortnight ago; stable also runs Novak. |
12/1 |

5th 4 (7) |
3rd Sep 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Not been in much form off his lower turf mark this season, coming 12lb down the weights; is 3lb lower than when last seen on the AW but it may just be he's on the downgrade now. |

5th 3 (1) |
29th Jul 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner whose mark continues to fall and he showed some good AW form earlier this year; however, he's without a win on turf since 2019 and he's been unable to threaten on grass on his recent starts. |

1st 5 (7) |
1st Mar 2024 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Won three times at Chelmsford when trained by James Tate; the return to AW has prompted further progress for her new stable and having seen off Aramis Grey at Wolverhampton she ran on well to score at Newcastle on New Year's Day; latest 3lb rise unlikely to prove beyond her. |
4/1 |

1st 6 (5) |
1st Jan 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Up just 2lb for half-length win at Wolverhampton (6f) four weeks ago; now 4-11 on AW and can remain competitive provided she's as effective back up in trip; mixed record (1547) over 7f. |

Quite consistent but made it 0-14 when beaten just under 5l at Lingfield (7f) and there's a hint of impatience now swapping the cheekpieces for a visor. |

8th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Ran creditably off 2lb higher back here last Friday, beaten just over 1l and taking record over C&D to 121214; gained most recent success off this mark at Pontefract in May; very solid chance. |

1st Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |

26th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Two wins in May (5f, good/good to firm) and has continued in good heart, beaten just over 2l when eighth of 16 over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago; however, he needs something extra today. |

26th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Both wins have been over 1m at Kempton, this season's coming at the expense of Sonemos; the glaring concern is her two subsequent efforts (1m, good; 7f AW) that read nothing like as well. |

18th May 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Improving filly who has won twice over 1m at Kempton, latterly on her handicap debut and with a bit in hand; 5lb rise fair for this prominent racer and likely to be in the thick of it. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
11-time AW winner but he's been out of sorts for new yard since December and was last of eight over C&D last time; mark is tumbling but he has lots to prove and needs a major revival. |
66/1 |
|
8th 6 (8) |
4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
All 11 wins on the AW, including one over C&D, though his latest success for the Moores was in a Newcastle seller (1m, Tapeta) in October; out of the frame in all four starts for this yard since then and may be best watched despite his declining mark. |
12/1 |
|
10th 4 (9) |
31st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |

Prolific winner down the years; not fired in three runs for Chelsea Banham this winter; betting likely to guide if a revival is on the cards. |

26th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |

Successful four times at Chepstow, including in this race (off 10lb higher) two years ago; holds poor claims on 2024 form but a revival would put him in the picture. |

3rd Nov 2023 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Well beaten over 7f in first two handicaps (both on AW in summer) and also when upped to 1m2f on heavy turf 11 days ago; drops back to 1m with blinkers tried here; not the obvious answer. |
66/1 |

8th 4 (8) |
23rd Oct 2023 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Sole turf effort, when best of the rest behind an easy winner here (1m, soft), a cut above his four AW runs; his two handicap efforts since have been poor, though, and stamina isn't assured on pedigree; market useful. |
