10st 4lb |
All wins on good/softer; on a two-year losing spell but arrives in form, having been placed in both runs this term, and remains on a workable mark; has won over C&D and is fresher than most, given the light campaign; warrants respect back here. |

Found only a real course specialist too good when 2l second on June's seasonal return at Haydock (1m, good); remains 7lb below his last winning mark, and makes major appeal dropped to his first class 5 handicap. |

0-9 for current stable but has become well treated, having gained all wins off higher marks; shaped encouragingly at Newcastle (7f) most recently while leaving the impression this return to 1m will suit; not ruled out. |

Had quite a good spell on AW over the winter but well beaten in three runs back on the grass in April/May; has something to prove for now. |

11th 11 (2) |
27th May 2023 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
His two wins have come at 1m on turf (good to firm) and Tapeta; placed four times since his last success in November but he's lost his way at Doncaster (1m) and here (7f) in last two starts; now returns to much quicker ground but he needs to bounce back near his best. |

On a handy mark on this season's best efforts but losing run is up to 18 and he's finished a well-held eighth in his last two runs; down the list. |

It's now 15 runs since his last success but this course winner posted a solid third of ten over C&D 17 days ago; he's one for the shortlist. |

1st Feb 2025 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |

Winner of 12 races under rules including two here, but losing run up to 16 and he ran poorly at this venue (1m4f) a fortnight ago; enough to prove. |

24th Jun 2023 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Winning debut on Chelmsford's AW last August; stepped up on that form when third of 11 in 1m Goodwood novice (good to firm) on reappearance 15 days ago, travelling well in the lead for a long way; lacks experience for a race of this nature, and the widest stall won't make life any easier, but she stands out as an unexposed sort in this line-up. |
2/1 |
|
3rd 1 (5) |
9th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Mixed messages as to the strength of her debut winning form at Chelmsford (1m, AW) last August but she did well to win at all from off the pace; as a 4yo winner she has to concede plenty of weight but still commands respect. |

13th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Dual course scorer, including this trip off 10lb higher in autumn 2022; hasn't fired lately so will need first-time blinkers (which are added to regular tongue-tie) to have a revitalising effect. |
25/1 |
|
7th 10 (6) |
4th Jan 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Dual Wolverhampton winner (8.6f/9.5f) who has dropped 7lb lower than when last successful, but his efforts since returning from a lengthy absence last May raise doubts as to whether he can take advantage. |

11th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
7lb lower than for his Newbury win last summer; second of 11 at Lingfield (1m, AW) last month but that has been followed by two heavy defeats; comes with risks attached. |
12/1 |

10th 1 (6) |
4th May 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

5lb lower than for his Newbury win last summer; second of 11 at Lingfield (1m, AW) on his penultimate start but ran poorly at Wolverhampton last week; revival not out of the question. |

|
9th 3 (4) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Has gone close when placed twice this year, latest when second of 11 at Lingfield (1m, AW) last Monday; on a decent mark and is one to consider. |

11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Runner-up at Kempton (7f, AW) two starts ago and he has a 9lb lower mark to work with on turf; however, he's been inconsistent this year and his sole turf win (from 15 attempts) came back in 2023. |
8/1 |
|
9th 3 (8) |
11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Two-time C&D winner; solid efforts in defeat on his last two starts; still feasibly weighted but happiest when dominating and a few of these like to force the pace. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 4 (1) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Seven of his eight wins have come on AW, including two over C&D; only 1lb higher than for his last success in October and he ran for a long way when fourth at Chelmsford 18 days ago; has good draw back at this track and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a bold bid. |
