15th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins in 7f classified events last month; runner-up in his last two completed starts; unseated rider early at Chester on Friday; each-way shout but hardly an unknown quantity. |
8/1 |
|
10 (7) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Fourth, nearest at the finish, to Hallowed Time in this last year; back with James Owen again and arrives in the midst of a productive spell, recent second-place finishes (visored) to add to earlier wins at Yarmouth and Brighton (7f); can often miss the break though, which isn't ideal at Chester. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 3 (8) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Nine of his ten wins have been on turf and he came from off the pace when good second off this mark at Brighton (6f; first-time visor) last month; has claims if he can repeat that form but he's 1-12 on AW and that success was in a claimer. |

30th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
Made all to win a 7f classified stakes at Newcastle 11 days ago when wearing cheekpieces for the first time; below best in two previous runs over this trip (has won at 1m). |
5/1 |
|
1st 12 (5) |
19th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
No win since 2023 but he did record his best effort since returning from a 296-day break when second in 1m Southwell classified event 15 days ago; claims if in similar form with cheekpieces added. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 9 (2) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner in December 2023 (all three of his wins came in 2023); struggled on his first two starts since returning from a 296-day break but he ran better at Newcastle (1m, AW) 28 days ago; blinkers removed. |

6th Jul 2023 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
0-9 but she returned to form with a close third in first-time cheekpieces at Ayr (7f, good) 12 days ago and she can be in the mix again if the headgear maintains its positive effect. |
4/1 |

13th Jun 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
8st 4lb |
Runner-up in nurseries at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) and Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) last autumn, but well beaten on her Redcar reappearance (1m, good) last month; may have needed the run and return to the AW may help, but she needs to take a step forward with a visor now given a go. |

20th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Sole win came at this venue a year ago; largely consistent this season and has made the frame in two C&D contests since wearing cheekpieces, good second latest; solid claims in the retained headgear. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 9 (7) |
19th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Won C&D nursery last October and has made the frame on five of his six starts this year, most recently when fourth over C&D in first-time cheekpieces (retained) this month; 1lb lower today and likely to be on the premises again. |

7th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has six wins to his name but yet to score for his current trainer; best recent effort when runner-up at Lingfield (5f, AW) last month; not out of this. |
7/1 |
|
9th 5 (13) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Had to challenge wide when fourth of 11 over C&D (good to firm) in May and he went close to breaking his AW duck at Lingfield (5f) last time; has won over C&D and every chance he'll be bang there. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 7 (5) |
4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Six turf wins, three in 2025; 0-22 on AW and although having a healthy pull at the weights with Desdemona on their C&D run in February he's not looked in peak form on last two starts. |

24th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 213y Class 6 |
10st 8lb |
Regressive gelding who hasn't won since his 2yo days and doesn't strike as the easiest; has been running well of late and will be happier back up from 6f, so holds each-way claims in an open handicap. |
8/1 |
|
4th 6 (3) |
2nd Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
1-18, his win coming over 5f as a 2yo; not beaten far into fourth of 11 in a similar contest at Lingfield (7f, good) 12 days ago and the pair who finished either side of him haven't let the form down; a contender if not inconvenienced by the shorter trip. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
He has been threatening to add to his six wins, with a third at Pontefract and second at Thirsk on his last two starts; on the downside he has been unplaced in all seven visits to York. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 11 (11) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
He has run well over C&D in the past, including in May, and he didn't run badly when third of six in a Class 3 handicap at Pontefract (6f, good) ten days ago; each-way shout. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 7 (1) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Comfortably beat Rock Opera over C&D in spring 2025, albeit was in better form at the time, that success the middle leg of a hat-trick; not solid on 2026 results but has slipped to an attractive mark. |

15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Seemingly no longer relishes the fast surfaces of 2023's peak win and placed form, judged on June's last of ten at Wetherby (5.5f), and balance of this year's form limits her appeal anyway; cheekpieces return. |
20/1 |
|
7 (9) |
19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
6f turf win two years ago remains her only success from 21 starts; not at her best in two AW runs earlier in the year and no better back on turf at Ripon a fortnight ago; down in weights but risky. |

25th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Something of an exposed maiden, with record now 0-10; however, best handicap effort (third off 4lb higher) came over C&D; return to this scenario is the angle for optimism with her. |
16/1 |
|
4th 3 (3) |
23rd Aug 2023 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Back on song when sixth of 14 in 1m handicap at Thirsk 12 days ago; hood is reached for now and she can't be discounted off a 2lb lower mark. |
6/1 |
|
6th 4 (9) |
11th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
The odd promising run, including when a close third of seven at Hamilton last month (6f, good to soft); below par dropped to 5f on Monday but each-way claims if back to her best. |
