5th Dec 2023 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Two 1m turf wins for previous trainer in the summer but no strong signs since, for that yard or current one, that he was about to break his AW duck; ran respectably in blinkers in 2021, first-time cheekpieces today. |

1st Nov 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Two 1m wins on soft this summer; not discredited in midfield at Chelmsford (didn't get a clear run) this month and contested a voided race 13 days ago; changed hands for 6,000gns at the sales last week; considered but he's made far less of an impact on AW than turf. |

2nd May 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
7f and 8.5f Tapeta winner; below par on his final start of last year and on his return at Wolverhampton; capable of being competitive from this mark but is not the most reliable. |
13/2 |
|
6th 6 (2) |

31st Mar 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner one year ago; ended 2024 with a couple of fair efforts at Chelmsford; has an absence to contend with but this is his first foray into 0-50 company and he's a serious player. |

All wins have been at 7f, four of them on the AW; on a long losing run and now tried over 1m2f for the first time; 1lb out of the handicap. |

12th Jul 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 4lb |
Has dropped a long way in the weights since his last win in April 2021; has shaped as though he would appreciate the return to 1m in his last two starts, but all five wins have come over 7f and he has finished no closer than sixth in ten previous attempts at this sort of trip. |

18th Oct 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Handy sort whose record over C&D reads 123 and he again ran well when second of 13 under Oisin Murphy back here (1m) a fortnight ago; races off the same mark and high on the list. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 6 (1) |
4th Oct 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
A few costly defeats round here to go with his 7f course win but arrives in decent form and gets away with this longer trip now; should go well under Oisin Murphy (albeit he's only 1-23 for the yard). |
4/1 |
|
4th 11 (2) |
13th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

7f AW winner; finished third from off the pace at Southwell (7f) last week and won't mind returning to a mile here, over which he wasn't far away two runs back; respected. |

8th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All wins at up to 1m, the most recent in June; couple of poor efforts since, including over C&D; still has something to prove at 1m2f. |
25/1 |
|
6th 4 (8) |
5th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Ended a long losing run when scoring at Chepstow (1m, good to firm) in June but he was beaten a long way in his follow-up bid at Brighton (1m2f); now drops back at this trip but he's not easy to predict and has always been more potent on turf (0-9 on AW); down the list. |
12/1 |
|
8th 3 (6) |
2nd Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Has hit form lately, going down by a neck here (1m, good) in May and going one better at Chepstow (1m, good to firm) last month; well held in one previous attempt over this far, but recent efforts suggest he is worth another go; respected from 4lb higher. |

25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Veteran who is on a losing run but he was finishing his race off strongly when second over C&D last month; a 2lb rise doesn't handicap him out of things and he's on the shortlist. |
3/1 |
