27th Jul 2024 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins as a juvenile; slow start did for him at Royal Ascot but competitive in his two runs either side of that (at 6f), pushing a subsequent improver close at Windsor and only wilting late on when the ground was soft at Pontefract; good chance, other than stall 9 not being ideal. |

9th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Always behind at Royal Ascot (5f) last time; solid second at Windsor (6f, good to firm; form has substance) earlier in June; that reappearance effort gives him a fighting chance. |
5/1 |

22th 10 (6) |
21st Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Came up just short in Listed race at Ripon after winning a Windsor nursery (6f, good) last July; gelded prior to his reappearance 18 days ago when he again ran well at Windsor, finding one too strong but clear of the third; has the early speed to deal with the return to 5f; apart from a couple of blips on heavy ground, his profile is one of steady improvement; there could well be more to come from him. |

30th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Prominent racer who won two 7f turf handicaps last summer; close second at Lingfield (7f) on his penultimate start but his form dipped when fifth of six behind Legal Reform on Boxing Day; a personal best will be required to take this. |
10/1 |

26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Front-running wins at Ascot and Chepstow this summer (both 7f, good to firm and good to soft); weak in the market and dropped away tamely at Newcastle five weeks ago; return to 7f and the redeployment of blinkers should give him a lift; considered. |
5/1 |

21st Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
6f 2yo winner who belatedly returned to winning ways in an Ascot 7f handicap (blinkered) and followed up without much fuss at Chepstow (no headgear), albeit having benefited from his track position; has to deal with a 7lb rise for that last win which could have been a shade flattering; cheekpieces now tried; has competitive form at 1m on the AW. |

12th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Not much luck before finally off the mark last time at the expense of a subsequent winner; a 2lb rise is fair enough, especially with the promising Jack Doughty taking off 5lb, and he has a decent chance of following up. |

1st 2 (5) |
26th Jun 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Maiden (0-13); regularly placed (5f-7f); hasn't been at his best in three runs this year, although there were some mitigating circumstances at Salisbury (6f) last time; others preferred. |

20th Aug 2023 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Runner-up over C&D in June on second start then went one better in Goodwood maiden (5f); however, he's been unplaced in 6f nurseries the last twice and needs to raise his game if he's to win this; unraced on slow ground. |

Delivered on earlier promise when winning five-runner Goodwood maiden (5f, good) last month but was well-held eighth (behind Je Ne Sais Quoi and Politico) when upped to 6f for recent nursery debut at Haydock. |

21st Mar 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Dropped away on recent seasonal return; not out of it if back to last year's best but she's unlikely to be left alone up front. |

4th Mar 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Hard-pulling front-runner who can go to her right; her two handicap wins came off slightly lower marks but the drop back from 6f looks in her favour and she'd be a player if able to dictate with a rail on her off-side. |
10/1 |

8th 2 (4) |
2nd Dec 2024 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Comfortable turf win in August (5f, good) and she has run creditably in defeat twice since; hopes pinned on the step back up in distance sparking a bit extra. |
10/1 |
