24th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Not sure what happened first time out but cheekpieces went on at Newcastle (6f AW) and he got the better of yesterday's Acomb runner-up Ballymount Boy who was making his debut; nothing wrong with that form and his owner targets this meeting. |

29th Jun 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
£105,000 yearling; 6-1 for last month's Goodwood debut (6f, good) but completely blew the start and never figured; no surprise if he shows a good deal more if breaking better here with cheekpieces enlisted. |

24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Smart as 2yo, placed in the Group 3 Acomb at this meeting (on good to firm) before winning a Listed race at Doncaster (6f, heavy); retains ability but he's not obviously well handicapped and the suspicion is he would prefer good ground or softer; gelded since last start. |

6th 2 (6) |
3rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Acts on any ground; ties in with Indian Run on York form last August; good second in the Richmond here the time before and bagged Listed honours later in 2yo campaign; got going too late in 6f AW Group 3 most recently, shaping as if this return to 7f will suit; could go well. |

6th 11 (7) |
29th Jun 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
8st 12lb |
Tough performer at two, winning a Hamilton maiden and a Doncaster Listed event (both 6f) as well as chasing home Vandeek in the Richmond Stakes; flopped in the Greenham on his return ten weeks ago (7f, good to soft) and now comes here with a point to prove. |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Ended last season in poor form and, despite a subsequent wind op, also looked out of sorts when back in action last month; needs to get career back on track and is probably better suited by longer trips than this now. |
20/1 |

13th 7 (9) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won a novice hurdle last May and convincingly at York (2m, good to firm; 4lb higher today) in July; however, comfortably held twice off his revised mark, before a heavy defeat in October when last seen; had wind surgery last month and perhaps best watched this time. |

2nd 2 (1) |
13th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Stepped up from his debut when winning a Ripon novice (5f, good to firm) in June, but held in all three starts since including two nurseries; didn't stay 7f last time, but even if this trip may suit him better he still needs to resume his progress; soft ground remains a question mark; stable runs four. |
14/1 |
|
9th 3 (5) |
12th Aug 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won his novice over 5f and hasn't improved for 6f the last twice, latterly finishing 5l off the principals on his nursery debut at York (good to soft); getting back on fast ground may help but it's hard to call him well handicapped and 7f is a grey area. |

21st Sep 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Seemingly back in good form when third over C&D in July but two very disappointing runs (8.6f/7f) have followed; dangerously well handicapped now but a very hard filly to predict; visor removed after one use. |
12/1 |
|
10th 3 (9) |
20th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins on Tapeta last year including one over C&D; third of eight (again over C&D) last month, but failed to beat a rival over 8.6f back here last time; return to this trip should suit and 8lb below her last winning mark, but not quite sure what to expect; visor given a go. |
9/1 |
|
13th 12 (6) |
1st Aug 2024 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won three times on Tapeta last year including twice at this track (6f/7f); quiet after returning in April, but put up a better performance when third of eight back here (7f) last month; down another 1lb, but is still to fully convince over this far. |

22nd Oct 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Gained a deserved breakthrough success at Musselburgh (7f) in September but he came in only sixth of ten there eight days ago; he's the sort to bounce back though. |
4/1 |

6th 5 (6) |
14th Oct 2024 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Lightly raced 3yo; has improved since upped to 7f for new yard, going close on reappearance at Carlisle (good) then off the mark over C&D last month, both efforts advertised since (the winner of the Carlisle race now on a 15lb higher mark); up 3lb; good chance. |
11/4 |

1st 4 (9) |
15th Sep 2024 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Lightly raced; first run for this yard and gelded when runner-up at Carlisle (7f, good), coming clear with the winner who has impressed since; off just 2lb higher he makes plenty of appeal. |

10th Sep 2024 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
In first-time cheekpieces and off a career-low mark when beating nine rivals at Carlisle (7f, good; fine on soft) having travelled best throughout; a 4lb rise shouldn't be too damaging. |
3/1 |

1st 3 (5) |
21st Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |

0-9; improved once switched to nurseries last year, going close at Catterick (7f, soft) in September; however, beaten at least 10l in all three starts this season; hooded last two starts, now has cheekpieces. |

9st 4lb |
130,000gns 2yo; 11-1 when seventh of ten on his Newbury debut (6.5f, good to firm) this month; stable's 2yos often better for a run and he is a half-brother to a 7f winner here. |
