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. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Resurgent 5yo who has form figures of 11222 for his current yard and who has been knocking on the door at Windsor (5f) and Brighton (5.3f) in his last two starts; 3lb well in off the same mark as those last two runs and he has leading claims back in trip. |

2nd 4 (4) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Back to something like his best since the hood came off for this yard, winning twice this summer and going back up a stone in the weights; another solid effort off this mark in an apprentice handicap at Windsor last Monday and looks set to go well once more. |
3/1 |

2nd 1 (2) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Comfortably won over C&D and at Wolverhampton on first two starts for Robert Cowell; back up another 7lb when creditable second at Catterick, which has been followed by a 3lb raise but 3lb-claiming rider is recruited; to win this may demand his best form since early 2024 but he's firmly in the mix. |

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. |

3rd 3 (1) |
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. |
66/1 |
