Three from three (on turf) since upped to 1m2f and fitted with cheekpieces, scoring under William Buick at Newmarket most recently; open to further progress over middle distances; major player provided he's as effective back on AW and with headgear removed. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 2m 3f 63y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Unseated rider mid-race when well backed for Fontwell handicap six weeks ago and now 0-7 over hurdles; not one to give up on just yet but moves up in grade today and others in this line-up may have more potential. |

0-6 over hurdles but was a beaten favourite on his last three starts in March/April; below form on the Flat in three runs since but not one to give up on just yet; goes without headgear worn on last hurdles start and last two Flat runs. |

28th Aug 2024 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

0-9; ran some good races for Harry Eustace but has regressed sharply in handicaps and shouldn't be troubling Flight Radar on these terms. |

25th Jul 2024 Good 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Continues to drop down the weights and didn't run badly when fifth of seven in first-time cheekpieces at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) three weeks ago; however, he's struggled in the main this season; no headgear today. |

3rd Jul 2024 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |

Interesting on his maiden/novice efforts for Harry Eustace last season but hasn't beaten a rival in three runs for current yard; hooded last time and now in cheekpieces. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Couldn't fault her momentum last year, rising from a mark of 88 at Uttoxeter in July to 102 when scoring readily at Hexham (2m, good to soft) in October; found life tougher in better races (Wetherby and Cheltenham) thereafter; this is equally tough, but she could strip fitter for C&D comeback run. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |

Has won three races this season, the second over this C&D in September; up in the ratings and off since November; may be better for the run. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Better than ever since joining this stable, winning three of her last four races; easily beat four rivals at Hexham (2m, good to soft) four weeks ago and an 8lb rise should not stop her being competitive again. |

31st Oct 2023 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who came from well back to narrowly make it ninth-time lucky at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) 19 days ago; 2lb higher and has run well in all three starts over this C&D; major player. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
All seven wins have been on AW; yet to hit form in two runs for this yard; cheekpieces return but best watched at present. |

7th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
A fairly useful 6f-1m AW winner at his best for Darryll Holland, but he failed to beat a rival on his yard debut in 7f Kempton handicap in November; needs to take a big step forward after a break. |
16/1 |

14th 3 (5) |
27th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
He has made good progress in the last 12 months, winning three AW handicaps in the second half of 2024 and taking another step forward when scrambling home at Southwell (7f) on his return in March; less good twice since and now drops to 5f for the first time; others perhaps better treated. |

21st Oct 2023 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Has shown fair form on a couple of occasions (including sole AW start) but his other runs have been poor, dropping away very tamely at Pontefract 12 weeks ago; first-time blinkers replace visor. |

30th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |

Two efforts have been a great deal better than the other three; one of those good runs came last time when fourth of ten from off the pace in handicap at Windsor (1m2f, good; unraced on softer) in a first-time visor, which is retained; on that form, this is a golden opportunity. |

6th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
On a losing run but ran respectably both starts this term, close third of six at Lingfield latest; that was 1m2f but he has a mixed record over this far; ground softer than good would be a big worry. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Veteran (13-102); has won just once since late 2024, when edging out Pallas Lord over C&D (15-2) on New Year's Day; kept on after a slow start, fifth of seven, at Ayr (7f; 33-1) four weeks ago. |

5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |

Getting on for three years since his last turf success and this veteran hasn't been at his best at Newcastle of late; opposable back at 7f and returned to the grass. |
