28th Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y |
9st 6lb |
Losing run since July 2023 but has been giving the impression his turn may be near again in two starts for his new yard; yet to try further than 1m2f on the Flat but has shaped like it would suit at times and one to consider. |

Won this event two years ago; fair form towards the end of last season; out of sorts this term until showing signs of a revival when fourth at Navan on stable draw; drawn high but Nicola Burns may be able to counter any disadvantage |

10st 9lb |
Long standing, dual-purpose maiden; 0-23 over hurdles but has run well on multiple occasions, including here over 2m off this mark; out of his depth in a Grade 3 when falling on latest; this more suitable and while he is hard to win with, he has each-way claims. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
10st 4lb |
Both wins came under a 7lb claimer in Ireland and it wasn't a bad effort under Ruby Criscuolo when beaten a shade over 2l at Southwell (1m3f, AW) in May; moderate fourth at Pontefract on Monday, however, which took his record to 0-15 for this yard. |

29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Has performed respectably in last two attempts under Evie Lee, finishing third both times, including latest start; however, continues on a long losing run, partly exemplified by being 0-14 for current stable. |
14/1 |

3rd 6 (2) |

Strike-rate of 2-46, with the wins in Ireland during the autumn of 2023; not beaten far in his last two completed starts in 1m2f/1m3f handicaps; back at 1m here, he looks very vulnerable to this week's two winners. |

Two wins this year, including over C&D off a mark of 74 in July; 5lb higher now but was placed here off 83 in August; no show in the Bold Lad Sprint when 5lb wrong but could be a player back on these terms. |
