Posted two good performances on AW in 2023 and is still fairly unexposed in this sphere; seemed to need the run last month on return from long absence; heed the market signals. |

The winner of one of his nine starts for Ed Walker, namely a 1m4f Polytrack handicap in August 2023; sold for 42,000gns in October 2023 and finished second of five at Chelmsford on debut for the Horse Watchers (1m6f); absent for 720 days and has now joined Rebecca Menzies; low mileage and the betting should be revealing. |

0-7 on turf but was placed on only previous visit to Bath and returned from long absence with very respectable 1m2f AW run in February; probably better suited by this sort of trip nowadays; interesting. |

27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Often makes the running but came from towards rear under Harry Vigors to win a six-runner race at Wolverhampton (1m6f) on latest outing; that broke a long losing run but he's usually competitive and has won over C&D; player. |

1st 4 (3) |
17th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |

Losing run up to 18 and has to put a poor recent effort at Lingfield (1m4f, Polytrack) behind him, but he often makes the running and could enjoy the run of the race if again ridden positively; visor removed after one use. |

Often a front-runner; record over C&D reads 1313, but this his first visit here since June 2024; losing run is up to 17 and he is drawn wide; visor the headgear of choice this time. |

10st 10lb |
5yo who won at Southwell (2m, good) in June on second chase start and has been runner-up at Worcester (2m, good) on last two outings, bumping into an improved winner most recently; stayed well on the Flat and he's been shaping as though this step back up in trip could prompt further improvement. |
3/1 |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Easy winner on second chase start at Southwell (2m, good) in June and can be forgiven his odds-on defeat a few days later; back on song with a C&D second to Rocks Up Late last month; up 1lb and needs a bit of luck in running but he's still open to progress and commands respect. |

20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |

Off the mark over fences at second attempt, cruising clear by 13l at Southwell (2m, good) in June; flopped when odds-on to follow up a few days later but has been given a longer break since and remains of strong interest. |

5th Oct 2023 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Made the frame over 1m4f on his last two turf starts and has become well handicapped, but he's no longer the force of old and was never involved over C&D last time; returns from a short break but his last Flat win was over two years ago and others are preferred. |
14/1 |

21st Aug 2023 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Back in better form the last twice, finishing fourth at Doncaster then third at Epsom, both over 1m4f; 0-6 on AW but returns to this sphere off a handy mark; not dismissed. |

1m4f turf and 2m hurdle winner; same mark as when second in a small-field 2m event at Lingfield (Polytrack) last month; returns to this code after defeat over hurdles latest but she has the form to be very competitive back down in trip. |

15th Feb 2024 Standard 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Hold-up performer with a poor strike-rate; close fifth at Kempton (2m) last time in a race that wasn't run to suit and the prospect of another steady pace reduces his appeal. |
7/2 |

5th 1 (10) |
27th Jan 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Hold-up performer who is hard to win with (4-44) and needs everything to fall right, which didn't happen when a never-dangerous third at Southwell last month; capable but not without risk. |

Having dropped down the weights he returned to form with a neck second at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) three weeks ago; has also run well on Polytrack; can be in the mix back up 3lb if producing another good run. |

Successful in 2m contest here when last seen 170 days ago, showing that he retains plenty of ability aged 11; drop back to 1m4f looks a negative, with last five wins at 1m5f+. |
