28th Dec 2024 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Well treated on this year's best and his penultimate effort suggested he was still in good order; latest Chelmsford run was disappointing though and he'll need the new hood to have a positive effect; drops in class. |

27th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Losing run goes back nearly a year but he might have won over C&D last July but for being hampered and is on a handy mark now; a recent Tapeta run (hood left off, now refitted) suggests a good run is imminent. |
6/1 |

5th 6 (10) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Can miss the break and/or pull hard; has performed okay in two runs after a break and each-way claims should he give himself a chance. |
4/1 |

4th 3 (2) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Bit unlucky not to win more than once last year and made a fair comeback at Southwell recently; can fluff the start and/or pull hard, however, and it's easy to argue he's more effective over 5f now. |

7th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
0-8, but placed six times as when beaten just over a length into second of eight behind Bazball over C&D (first-time blinkers) in August; now 7lb better off, but hasn't progressed in two outings since whereas his old rival has stepped up again; another placing may be his best hope. |

26th Sep 2023 Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Seven defeats include two nurseries and, although in form, he's not progressing; looks vulnerable. |

29th Aug 2023 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Couple of fair efforts in nurseries since headgear went on but he's exposed and has plenty more on his plate today; would have been 15lb better off with Instant Recall in a handicap. |

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). |

2nd Oct 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
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. |

17th Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Raced twice for Charlie Johnston, better effort when clear second at Pontefract (6f) on debut; gelded since last run and now returns from 385-day absence; still with same owner; heed the market signals. |
6/1 |

5th 6 (2) |
29th Aug 2023 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Came away with the more experienced winner on debut at Pontefract (6f, good) three weeks ago, having made most of the running; raced freely there and shouldn't mind the drop in trip; goes on the shortlist. |
5/2 |

2nd 6 (5) |

took keen hold, pushed along over 2f out, ridden over 1f out, faced challenge final 110yds, headed towards finish |

25th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Five-race maiden who has inconsistent form; clear best efforts when second at Haydock and eighth in the Super Sprint; chance partly depends on how well he responds to new headgear. |
7/1 |
|
6th 4 (6) |
29th Aug 2023 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Not beaten far on his side of the course in the Super Sprint at Newbury last time (150-1; first-time cheekpieces) despite hanging right under pressure; had been below market expectations a couple of times prior to that, however, and is exposed now. |
4/1 |
|
8th 2 (10) |
22nd Jul 2023 Good 0m 5f 34y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Ran okay when second to a useful colt at Haydock (5f) but likely to fall short even with a repeat of that form; cheekpieces turned to after a flat effort at Nottingham. |
