2nd 12 (13) |
4th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Fairly useful on his day but he's not one to rely on and failed to beat a rival in 6f Hamilton handicap two weeks ago; others are much preferred. |

10th 4 (1) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
His wins have come on slow ground but he was beaten only 3l in a big field at York (7f, good to firm) last month; that was a creditable effort after a slow start and he ran well over this trip at Ayr on his penultimate run; could be dangerous. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Two AW wins earlier in the year and he was back at his best when second at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago; has his first 6f run since his racecourse debut today but it shouldn't be a problem; high on the list. |
5/1 |

2nd 3 (11) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual AW winner, including from this mark at Newcastle (7f) in February; is yet to win on turf (0-13) but was beaten a nose in this last year, and was returning from a ten-week break when sixth of ten at Redcar (7f; 50-1; beaten 10l) in June; others preferred. |

6th 13 (14) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Both wins came over this trip on the AW at the start of the year, but he has made the frame several times on turf; was found to be coughing after running poorly at Thirsk ten weeks ago; can go well fresh and not easily dismissed. |

21st Jan 2024 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Seven-race maiden; underperformed when favourite for 1m4f contest at Kempton most recently; has otherwise shaped promisingly in AW handicaps, at 9.5f/1m2f, and remains of interest back down in distance. |

29th Aug 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Pulled up in only start as a 2yo, but defied a 407-day absence to land a Haydock maiden (7f, good to soft) last month; didn't back it up at Thirsk (1m, soft) last time and possible the ground didn't suit, but she still has questions to answer on handicap debut. |

8st 10lb |
Scored at Musselburgh (1m) in October and has largely continued in good form, fourth of 12 in 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap 15 days ago; one for the shortlist. |

30th Dec 2024 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Both wins over 1m on turf; latest effort (over 8.5f here) doesn't suggest she's crying out for this extra yardage; not the percentage call. |

12th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner in January, when 3lb higher; handicapper has had his measure since then; handy mark now but hasn't recently looked like taking his opportunities. |
12/1 |
|
9th 11 (5) |
30th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Had few chances in 1m handicaps and best form on Newcastle Tapeta, winning there in January; down the field at Thirsk recently but weighted to go well if handling the transition to Southwell at the first attempt. |
16/1 |

11th 10 (11) |
16th Aug 2024 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Best form has been on the AW, his sole win coming off this mark over 1m at Newcastle in January; not beaten far in last two races, the first on turf; each-way chance. |

20th Jul 2023 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
15th foal; half-brother to five useful winners including Foolin Myself (7f/1m; RPR 105) and Unex El Greco (7f-1m4f; 104); pedigree catches the eye but he may be one for further down the line. |
