3rd Nov 2023 Heavy 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Won four-runner race at Beverley (2m, soft) in July but out of form since; soundly beaten last time in the Cesarewitch here for the third year running; well handicapped if this proved one of his good days. |

14th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Well beaten in this race in 2021 and 2022 and even further adrift in the Trial three weeks ago on his only other race at Newmarket; good ground for all three of those was probably not ideal and he'd be well handicapped if this proved one of his best days, but others look more solid. |

17th Sep 2023 Good 1m 7f 217y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Made a winning start for current yard at Ripon (2m) in June but her form has dipped recently, only sixth in 1m6f Newmarket handicap 29 days ago; she needs to bounce back. |

19th Aug 2023 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Won a four-runner race on stable debut at Ripon (2m) in June but that's her best run this year; probably okay on soft ground but soundly beaten on heavy on latest outing; back to her last winning mark. |

16th Jul 2024 Soft 2m 0f 32y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Front-runner (other pace in here) who was well held at a short price in this race in 2023; was beaten some way over hurdles, when back from a break following wind surgery, for new yard in June and needs to do much better. |
5/1 |

Not seen over hurdles since pulled up at 2023 Cheltenham Festival but showed some useful form on the Flat last summer; makes stable debut after nine-month break; had wind op in April; market may guide. |

27th May 2023 Good To Firm 2m 0f 45y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
Better than ever for Ian Williams last year and he runs off his last winning mark; made his stable and seasonal debut at Chester a fortnight ago and has never run well there, but he was tailed off and there is a big question mark regarding his current form. |
33/1 |
|
16th 3 (9) |
12th May 2023 Soft 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Had a fine summer last season in final campaign for Ian Williams; ran well in 2018 on soft and heavy but peak efforts have been when the ground is less testing; stays very well but he has not shone in his four visits to Chester, including last two editions of this race. |

1st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 97y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
All three wins have been on soft going, the most recent in impressive style in the Chester Plate (2m2f, soft) in May 2023 off 1lb higher than today; absent 678 days before his encouraging fifth to Aggagio here in June, followed by a lesser show in last of three at Beverley but that was on good; very much one to note if he gets his ground. |
8/1 |

15th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 32y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Returned from a long absence with fair fifth at Goodwood (2m, soft) last month and there's every chance he'll have improved for that outing; however, soft ground seems preferable so he could do with lots of rain. |
