22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Showed some ability remained when fifth at Chester in June (7.6f, good) but well held Flat and hurdles since; tailed off in the faces of a stiff task at Chester on Saturday. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Back to winning ways with a front-running C&D success 23 days ago (visored first time); up 2lb but should give it another good go. |
5/1 |

1st 5 (3) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Two soft-ground turf wins, including one for this yard, but he acts on better ground and made the most of a good draw when close third of 15 at Nottingham (8.5f, good; Token Love seventh) in cheekpieces three weeks ago; that is just about the best recent form on offer and he's nicely berthed again; visor goes on and he's respected. |
5/2 |

3rd 10 (1) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |

First win was on AW but last two have come on turf (8.3f/1m2f, soft); had some close calls on Tapeta during the winter and he was a creditable fourth in big field at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) 11 days ago; could be in the mix again but he wouldn't want the ground to dry out. |

Fared okay, without necessarily showing improvement, when fourth on handicap debut at Doncaster (1m, soft) in July; ran poorly in first-time cheekpieces at Yarmouth (1m2f) subsequently; has eased in the weights and undergone wind surgery since; a tongue-tie is added; let the market offer a guide. |

Dual Flat winner (1m/1m2f); placed in five of his seven races over hurdles, latest over C&D in October (good); ran with hood and cheekpieces that day but has neither this time; back after 180-day break; interesting with Sean Bowen booked. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
9yo who returned to form when third at Southwell (1m, AW) last month and built on it to win at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) nine days ago; he should be fine on today's better ground and is respected up just 3lb. |
9/2 |
|
1st 10 (11) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Seven of his nine wins have been on AW but he's well handicapped on some runner-up efforts on turf last season; has mixed record since his last success 12 months ago but he was placed at Southwell (1m) last time and has claims if he can build on that. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 7 (5) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has won five times here; a line can be put through his most recent C&D run and he didn't get any peace out in front at Nottingham 11 days ago (weakened into eighth of ten); it wouldn't be the biggest surprise to see him bounce back (there is possible competition for the lead but no other out-and-out front-runners). |

Scored at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) on her seasonal/stable debut in May but she's not gone on from that and was fifth of nine behind Uncle Dick over C&D last time; back on last winning mark now but she needs to find more. |
