9st 9lb |
On a long losing run and he comes here on the back of a below-par sixth of nine in 7f Redcar handicap 13 days ago; others appeal more. |

5th Nov 2024 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Two wins at up to 6f on slow ground; has a squeak based on his Hamilton second in September but he's been badly out of sorts on his last three starts; steps up in trip but he's half-brother to two winners over it, so he could see it out; one of two in this for his trainer. |

11th Sep 2023 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has been placed in all of her four runs, including a close third with cheekpieces added on her handicap debut at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) last month; wandered around in the closing stages of that race but that was a bold bid and she's open to more progress; respected with blinkers now tried. |

3rd 3 (2) |
24th Aug 2023 Good 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
took keen hold, prominent, ridden to lead over 1f out, wandered around final 110yds, kept on but headed towards finish, finished 2nd, placed 3rd |
3/1 |

2nd 7 (3) |
7th Aug 2023 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Has shown ability in 5f events on soft ground at Nottingham and Leicester, finishing third both times; improved 14lb on RPRs from the first to the second run and sets the standard in this field. |

23rd Aug 2023 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Ardad gelding who still looked in need of the experience when third of eight in 5f Ripon novice 16 days ago; both runs on soft; can do better still and is one to consider. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 4 (2) |
7th Aug 2023 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Stablemate of Haworth Star; finished about 5l behind Corellian Star at Leicester (5f, soft) on debut, having looked green; may do better with the experience under his belt. |
9/2 |
|
7th 2 (9) |
26th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
50,000gns yearling; fifth foal; half-brother to 5f winners Warrior's Valley (AW; RPR 82) and Mendamay (70); dam placed at 5f (67), sister to 5f 2yo Group 3/7f Group 2 winner Finjaan; would need to see some confidence behind him. |

3rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Arrived late to win at Southwell (5f) and only faded late on at Doncaster last week (good to firm); remains in form and she is proven on a stiff 5f. |
7/1 |
|
5th 3 (8) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Produced late when winning a 5f handicap at Southwell three weeks ago; has the ability to defy a 3lb rise and she has run well over C&D in the past; one for the shortlist. |
10/1 |
|
1st 10 (8) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Yet to shine on AW but she has slipped to a tempting mark and last month's return to action (6f) should have blown away any cobwebs; the return to 5f is in her favour too and she could run a big race at a price. |

24th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Handicapper had his say after an easy Nottingham win (2-2 there) early last month and this 5yo has been held since; often dropped in (may well be again from a wide stall) and would then be reliant on the race setting up for him, as well as some luck. |
12/1 |
|
4th 9 (4) |
9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Won at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) in July but that wasn't much of a race and he has not repeated the form; now wears cheekpieces; others preferred. |
14/1 |
|
4 (2) |
2nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Gained his fourth career success at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) in July and 6f will have been too far for him at York next time; however, he's still 7lb higher than for the win and others make more obvious appeal. |

2nd Feb 2024 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Down the field in three sprint runs last August/September; more realistic assignment here but still not easily recommended. |

7th 4 (1) |
8th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Down the field in sprint maiden/novice events on turf last month and unlikely to be of interest until handicapping. |

8th 6 (5) |
17th Aug 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Didn't show much over 5f on soft on debut last week; makes no appeal up in distance. |

22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Looks interesting on his second at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) in November but he took backward steps on final two runs last year; overall record is now 1-19 and he's yet to be placed in seven runs on turf; has work to do on return. |
25/1 |

18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Registered sole win over C&D (off 5lb higher in 2024 for previous yard); proved resurgent with 1l second, despite traffic issues, returned to this scenario last time; warrants respect. |

7th Aug 2023 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Sister to 5.4f/6f 2yo winner Ajaya (including Group 2), half-sister to 1m-1m4f winner Extra Elusive (including Group 3); wears hood on debut; potentially above average judged on breeding; notable connections; interesting, especially if strong in the betting. |

17th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Started 50-1 or bigger each start and just under 8l is the closest he's got to winning; wears same headgear as last time. |

9th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

Has beaten a total of two rivals in seven starts on turf/Tapeta; additions of cheekpieces needs to make a dramatic difference. |
