9st 3lb |
Going the right way after wins at Sandown (5f) and Ripon (6f; again good to soft) but probably needs a fair chunk of improvement to bring up the hat-trick; on the plus side, his stable's 2yos tend to improve with racing and he's well drawn. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Made the running and sprang 40-1 shock in Listed race at Galway (7f, soft) in July but has run poorly in another Listed event over 6f at Pontefract (fractious in the stalls) since. |

1 (8) |
17th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Made the running and sprang 40-1 shock in Listed race at Galway (7f, soft) last month; won over 6f on good ground at Ripon in May; carries a 3lb penalty today and has to back up that latest form, but is not ruled out. |

Belied her 150-1 odds with a fourth-place finish in a Listed race at Chelmsford (7f, AW); failed to build on that at Pontefract; appears short of the standard required to win a Listed race |

12th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
No longer the force of old but was close third off today's career-low mark here (6f, good) eight days ago; eased in grade today and can handle the drop back to 5f; must be considered. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 6 (6) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Both wins came at York when trained by Richard Hannon; denied a clear run when finishing fifth of ten at Sandown (6f, good to firm) ten days ago; has dropped to a career-low mark but may be getting his act together. |
6/1 |

5th 3 (8) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Spoiled chance by refusing to settle on seasonal/stable but this month's midfield finish at Newbury (6f, good to firm) was more encouraging; has slipped to a dangerous mark and should now be approaching concert pitch. |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Five turf wins at around 1m (good/good to firm), the latest off this mark at Leicester in May; not at his best on last two starts but he could go well in a modest event. |
5/1 |

6th 2 (10) |
8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Gained second win of 2026 at Leicester (1m) in May and has continued in good form, refitted in cheekpieces when fourth of seven at Musselburgh (1m) 16 days ago; that form has been franked so he can go well again. |
11/2 |

4th 1 (2) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Gained his second win of 2026 at Leicester (1m) in May and posted a good third of 12 in 1m Carlisle handicap a week ago; this course winner rates a player off an unchanged mark. |

7th Oct 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Wide-margin win at Musselburgh (5f, good) on debut but in a weak race and limitations have apparently been exposed since; seventh of 15 in one of these valuable 6f sale races on penultimate start, when trying cheekpieces, easily the best of last three runs; now tries a visor but has lots to find. |

Scored by wide margin at Musselburgh (5f, good) on debut, albeit in a weak race; limitations have been somewhat exposed in two runs since; first-time headgear needs to prompt better form. |

21st May 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
0-7 in handicaps but went down by the narrowest margin at York last July; disappointing favourite in October and gelded ahead of this return to action; probably best watched from wide draw on AW debut (half-brother and dam did win on an artificial surface). |

Quite lightly raced this term and in good form, suffering a poor run when eighth in 1m Goodwood handicap in August; he ought to be in the shake-up. |

8st 10lb |
On the go since June of last year; two wins in 2026, over 6f at Dundalk in March and over 6f at Fairyhouse (good) in June and runs off last winning mark; last couple of runs not his best, however, and others arrive in better form. |
33/1 |

14th 7 (14) |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |
9st 11lb |
All seven wins came over 6f (has run well at 5f) and six of them on AW; turf breakthrough in June when scoring at Fairyhouse (6f, good) by 2.5l off 3lb lower; moderate efforts since, including when beaten by 5.5l at Cork last time (6f, good to firm); others preferred. |

Below market expectations on his handicap debut (Polytrack) before again looking worth a try over this longer trip back on turf last time; lightly raced still and one to consider back from a short break. |
