Acts on any ground; successful in handicaps at this course (gamely) and Hamilton (impressively) in May/June; creditable third to Makarova at Sandown upped to Group 3 level, having kicked for home too soon in hindsight; currently in career-best form; could go well. |

29th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Successful in a Yarmouth 5f handicap in week one of the Racing League; latest 6f run easy enough to overlook and he's a contender back under suitable conditions (won the 5f handicap at the Racing League meeting at this track last September). |
14/1 |
|
14th 2 (10) |
12th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
All of his five wins have been at 5f; won two in a row in Bahrain in February and he landed a Racing League handicap at Yarmouth (good to firm) last month; hit a personal best with that success but this is tougher off 5lb higher and his only previous run at this trip resulted in a heavy defeat. |

30th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Good second over C&D last month but not quite in the same form back here 17 days ago; likely to run his race and more minor money could be on the cards; cheekpieces now added. |
9/1 |

31st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

Expensive to follow since joining Ivan Furtado but he usually gives his running; dropping back to 5f isn't sure to be of benefit. |

18th Oct 2023 Heavy 0m 5f 8y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Defied higher marks twice on home soil in 2021 and won in Bahrain last December; 0-12 this year but posted encouraging efforts the last twice, latest when 1l second at York (soft) last Friday; could well go one better. |
5/2 |

2nd 9 (14) |
13th Oct 2023 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Hasn't won in Britain since 2021 but some useful efforts in 2023, including here; needs things to go better at the start than they sometimes do if he's to play a part. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 6 (4) |
9th Sep 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Has drawn a blank this season but he retains a good chunk of ability, running well at Haydock in June off a 5lb higher mark and beaten under 4l in a hot York sprint latest; capable of a big run but slow starts have been a feature the last twice and that sounds a note of caution. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Three C&D runs have yielded two wins and a fifth (in Class 3 company); has only run to form once this year, finishing third to Harry Brown at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) last month; below par last time but if he is to revive it is likely to be under these conditions. |
8/1 |

7th 5 (5) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 6 |

Has won five times on turf but is not the force of old; has dropped a career-low mark but this race looks too competitive. |
5/1 |

3rd 6 (7) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Front-runner with a C&D win on his record; 6lb lower than when seeing off seven rivals at Newbury last summer (5f, good to firm) but not easily recommended on 2026 evidence and he will find easier races to dominate than this. |

Ended 2024 with a pair of soft-ground 6f wins at Catterick, the second of them off 13lb higher; handicapper has held the upper hand this year but conditions will suit and he helps form a strong hand for Tim Easterby. |

30th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has been a superb servant, winning 16 of his 99 starts, including three this year; comfortable scorer at Haydock (6f, good to firm) latest, for which he has gone up 6lb; has won over C&D and looks a player again. |
2/1 |

1st 5 (5) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
The winner of two of his six starts this year, both over 6f at Southwell; he could only manage fourth of the nine runners back at Southwell 20 days ago and he will need to raise his game to defy this mark. |
6/1 |

4th 1 (3) |
5th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Made it 4-15 under Connor Planas when gaining his second C&D success ten days ago; did it comfortably enough and despite a 5lb higher mark, is a major player if in the same form; stable also runs Melissa Honey. |

15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
No great love for softer surfaces these days, but her present good heart still carried her to second at Lingfield latest (good to soft); record of 13412 in C&D class 5s includes June's win (good to firm); chance. |
7/2 |

2nd 4 (5) |
22nd Jul 2025 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |

Refound some form last two outings for first and second at Yarmouth; best efforts last year were better still but, despite form on testing ground earlier in career, she came last of six on last season's two runs on soft. |

2nd 1 (1) |

Won this race last year off a 5lb higher mark and came back to form when pulling away with one other over C&D a fortnight ago; has had her moments at the stalls and isn't the most consistent but will rightly be popular. |

4th Oct 2023 Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Handled testing ground when trained by Bryan Smart (ran well over C&D on soft as a 3yo); generally raced on a sounder surface for current stable, winning on good at Ayr in June; ran poorly at Yarmouth ten weeks ago but can go well fresh and he's not out of it. |

27th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 42y Class 3 |

Positive start for new stable, building on his Beverley reappearance second in April when going one better at Ayr (5f, good) eight weeks later; the Ayr form looks solid with the second and fourth successful next time; has won on soft; bold show likely. |
