4th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Fairly useful 1m2f handicapper; won at Yarmouth in July and mostly consistent otherwise this term; remains on career-high mark, however, and this longer distance is an unknown. |

Doubled his winning tally when easily disposing of three rivals from the front under Joe Bradnam in an apprentice event at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) seven days ago; still 4lb well in despite a 2lb rise, but ground softer than good would pose a question. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Closely-matched with Classic Encounter on their form at York last June (1m1f, good to firm); bit disappointing since Ripon win in July (1m, good to soft), although excuses for poor reappearance run (blindfold removed late). |
20/1 |

9th 7 (4) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Three wins last May/July at about 1m on various ground and he's back down to his last winning mark; ended 2025 quietly and there's a suspicion he'll improve for this comeback run; withdrawn after getting upset in the stalls at Ripon two weeks ago (25-1 at the time). |

16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

26th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Yet to win in 14 attempts on turf, but has a chance on her C&D second last month (soft); not so good last time, but wouldn't rule out. |
7/1 |
|
6th 11 (8) |
8th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner in January and been in good form this summer, reaching the frame again when second at Beverley (1m2f) 12 days ago; likely to be on the premises but suspicion she'll prove vulnerable to at least one of the 3yos in this line-up. |
7/1 |

2nd 1 (4) |

Won twice in the space of five days last August, the second win coming over C&D off today's mark; ran some fair races on AW over the winter; place claims back from four months off. |
8/1 |

7th 6 (5) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won twice in five days on turf last August (both 1m1f, good) and although he is 0-13 on AW, he's fully effective at this track; each-way claims. |
12/1 |

1st Nov 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Winless in his first 25 starts, but in good form since the blinkers went on in June (4321133); both wins came over 1m1f on turf in August, but he finished well for a creditable third over C&D last time; interesting contender on this drop back in grade. |

29th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
In good form for new yard this summer, recording a comfortable win at Redcar (1m, good) in July and just as good when second at Musselburgh (7f, good) three weeks ago (both under Rebecca Hitchen); another prominent showing is on the cards with the return to 1m in his favour. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 4 (1) |
8th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
10st 13lb |
Recorded a comfortable win under Rebecca Hitchen, who was unable to claim, at Redcar (1m, good) last week on second start for new stable; rider can now use 5lb allowance, which offsets a penalty; scored over 7f very early in career; this in-form 9yo commands respect. |
2/1 |
|
1st 3 (1) |
30th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
5-43, with his latest win coming off this mark at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in December; posted a solid effort when third of 12 over that C&D on stable debut under Rebecca Hitchen 33 days ago (raced wide); has won over 1m but he hasn't won on turf since 2019. |

23rd Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Continues to tumble down the weights and he's one to watch in the betting in a first-time tongue-tie, but he's been well beaten on all three starts this season and a major turnaround is required. |
16/1 |
|
11th 8 (5) |
11th Aug 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Gained both wins over C&D but seems badly to have lost his way since his dead-heat here last June; well-beaten 50-1 shot on both appearances this year; considered only if much stronger in the betting today. |
12/1 |
|
14th 11 (4) |
14th May 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Both wins at Ripon (1m, good to firm), the latest from 5lb higher last summer; hasn't beaten many in his last four starts including on his recent Thirsk reappearance; best watched for now. |

22nd Jun 2023 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Opened his account in 8.5f Wolverhampton handicap in May and wasn't disgraced on turf debut when fifth of nine over 1m here 15 days ago; possibilities now upped in trip. |
10/1 |

5th 3 (5) |
7th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Confirmed the promise of some of his novice efforts when scoring on his handicap debut at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW; raced prominently) latest; 3lb rise looks fair and there could be more to come over this trip. |
4/1 |
|
1st 5 (8) |
23rd May 2023 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Similar level of form in his last three starts as when fifth of eight in first-time blinkers (now removed) at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack) this month; up in trip for handicap debut and dam's side of pedigree suggests he may improve for it; each-way claims. |

13th Nov 2023 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |

3yo maiden; inconsistent this term but, judged on penultimate effort, may benefit from the reapplication of visor; second run for new yard. |
12/1 |
|
9th 7 (6) |
16th Sep 2023 Good 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
10st 10lb |
Eight-race maiden who goes without headgear for this stable debut, having returned to form in a first-time visor when fifth of 15 at Thirsk (1m4f, good) last month on her final outing for Hugo Palmer (sold for 11,500gns); however, Ed Dunlop and Sophie Smith combine well and she's not ruled out. |

5th Sep 2023 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Ex-bumper horse; had wind surgery in March; has improved since going handicapping with fair efforts at Beverley (7.5f, good to soft) and Musselburgh (7f, good) last month; further progress likely, particularly back over 1m; a possible. |
6/1 |

4th 2 (6) |
11th Aug 2023 Good 0m 7f 33y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Well beaten over 1m2f on handicap debut in June but looked suited by drop in trip when third at Beverley (7.4f, good to soft) ten days ago; ideally needs to learn to settle better in the early stages but could still have a bigger run in him. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 3 (6) |
1st Aug 2023 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Maiden who offered hope when second of six in a Wolverhampton novice (9.5f, AW) in February but not built on it since, including on handicap debut after four months off at Ripon (9.7f, good; first start since wind surgery) in June; others make greater appeal. |
