5th Oct 2023 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Placed in novice/maiden events in his first three starts and he kicked off his handicap career with a strong-finishing win at Chepstow (1m2f, good) last month; up 5lb but he's open to more progress at this new trip and is a big player back on AW. |

Unexposed; placed in two AW novice events before finishing second in a Yarmouth maiden (good) on turf debut on first run at this trip; improvement likely now going handicapping; worth considering. |

Similar form in two AW novice events five months apart; steps up in trip for his turf debut and that should suit on pedigree; more minor money on the cards. |

3rd Jul 2024 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Only 1-17 and hasn't been at her best this year, especially so last time at Leicester; however, she's never been lower in the weights and this is a drop in class; couldn't rule out. |
13/2 |

7th 8 (2) |
15th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Has won just one of her 16 starts and hasn't been at her best this year; however, she hasn't run badly the last twice and continues to drop down the weights; this is a modest contest and she could be thereabouts. |

27th Sep 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Inconsistent in six starts but showed improvement when racing prominently in first-time cheekpieces at Chepstow (1m2f, good) latest; will have to prove he gets this extra furlong; if staying, he remains on a competitive mark. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 3 (6) |
4th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Fair third to a subsequent winner at Chelmsford in first time visor on handicap debut (1m, standard to slow); not so good last time at Kempton (1m); steps up to 1m2f and now tried in cheekpieces; bit to prove. |
5/2 |

6th 7 (11) |
14th Aug 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Gelded after struggling in his novices and with a visor fitted for his handicap debut at Chelmsford (1m) he made eyecatching late headway for third (Hurricane Kiko runner-up); might have threatened with a clear run that day; not drawn well but respected. |

9st 7lb |
Added to her Tapeta win when scoring at Epsom (1m4f, good to firm) last September but she's lost her way since including with two heavy defeats this season; now back on last winning but she needs a major revival on this return to AW; reapplied blinkers replace a hood. |

16th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |

Won at Epsom (1m4f, good to firm) last September off 2lb lower mark; well held on return from 205-day break in race won by Taritino at Chepstow (1m4f, good to soft) last month; best watched. |

0-12; best run for a while when keeping on for third in a 1m2f classified race here and going further this afternoon should be a plus. |

Failed to progress for Hugo Palmer and posted a modest effort at Chepstow (1m2f) for new yard last time; however, return to AW may help (best RPRs in this sphere). |

10th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Hurdles winner in 2023 for previous yard; form for current stable is far from convincing, most recently well beaten on chase debut; nearly a stone out of the weights back up in grade; new headgear needs to make a massive difference. |
