27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Dual winner for Hugo Palmer (6f/7f); third the best he managed for Robert Eddery; failed to see out 1m in two previous attempts so looks best watched on debut for John Butler, who runs two others, back from 292 days off. |
20/1 |

13th 12 (3) |
8th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Two AW wins when trained by Hugo Palmer; he has found the handicapper in command since joining this stable and although his penultimate third at Yarmouth was better, he doesn't look the obvious answer here; stable also run Spring Bloom. |
33/1 |

25th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Not totally solid on his form for current yard but has possibilities off current mark provided latest effort (third at Yarmouth) is backed up; well treated on peak figures. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Got up late to win Bath novice (5f, good to firm) for Andrew Balding in June; 0-9 for this yard (majority 6f, turf/AW) and first-time cheekpieces (removed) didn't spark an improved effort last time; career-low mark and second go at this trip (first is easily excused) the straws to clutch at. |
16/1 |
|
6th 4 (4) |
4th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

Should be well handicapped now but he hasn't built on a good fourth at Newcastle in December in three subsequent runs; connections reach for cheekpieces tonight. |
9/1 |

5th 1 (4) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Dips into a 0-70 for the first time but hasn't obviously been shaping as if likely to be cashing in on his reduced mark. |

21st Jan 2024 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Eight-race maiden whose last two 6f efforts suggest this drop in trip is well worth exploring; front-running third at Wolverhampton latest; could well make a bold bid off reduced mark. |
5/1 |
|
7 (4) |
12th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
All runs at 6f, pick of his form on debut; unplaced in three nurseries towards end of 2023, favourite at Newcastle (raced freely, faded) four weeks ago; slowly slipping in the weights but needs to return to his best. |
10/1 |
|
6th 5 (12) |
16th Dec 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
All races at 6f and no more than respectable efforts in first two handicaps last month, at Kempton and Wolverhampton; more needed in first course handicap. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Has form figures of 11542 over C&D; good spell last summer featured three wins elsewhere; evidence from previous campaigns suggests he'll step up on reappearance duck egg and go well. |
3/1 |
|
10th 6 (9) |
1st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
A three-time winner (around 6f) last season but he ended the term with a rare poor effort in the Portland at Doncaster in September; has gone well fresh though so no surprise to see him bounce back here. |

29th Sep 2023 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Finished closer at Newcastle (6f, AW) but has something to find with Appellant who finished third; handicaps will be an option after this. |
20/1 |
|
5th 5 (11) |
8th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Outpaced from halfway on his Thirsk debut six weeks ago (6f, soft); can do better with the experience behind him but he didn't look an obvious winner-in-waiting. |
25/1 |

10th 4 (11) |
28th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

By the smart sprinter Advertise; second foal; dam unraced sister to 5f/6f winner Boundary Lane; has no future entries but trainer has fair record with newcomers. |

5th Apr 2024 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Came good with ready C&D win in December, his fifth start, and was placed on next two outings; didn't fire last time but has a fighting chance if back on song here; cheekpieces (worn for last two races) removed. |

13th Feb 2024 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
On the up since handicapping, getting off the mark in a 5f nursery at Lingfield in December; good second at Wolverhampton on Boxing Day but he wasn't at his best tried in cheekpieces (retained) at Chelmsford last month; perhaps vulnerable to improvers. |

19th Oct 2024 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Front-runner; completed hat-trick in 1m handicaps in the summer, and ran creditably again when fourth of eight over 1m2f at Sandown last month; just as effective on AW; should give another good account of himself. |
9/2 |
|
4th 2 (2) |
18th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Front-runner; completed a hat-trick in 1m handicaps this summer, the last leg at this track; disappointing at Haydock next time but better than ever when beaten a head at Southwell (1m, AW) 16 days later; all his improvement has been at 1m, having tried 1m2f twice in the spring before he was tongue tied, so this step back up in trip asks the key question. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 2 (9) |
26th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Completed a hat-trick in 1m handicaps this summer but he came up short in his bid for a four-timer at Haydock 16 days ago; promise in one C&D run in March; another career best required to win. |

3rd Oct 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Chased home a useful sort on debut last August; no progress since and he was well beaten at 100-1 over C&D three weeks ago; headgear off now; not a solid option. |
25/1 |
|
13th 13 (3) |
10th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Three poor runs this summer, latterly in cheekpieces; Oisin Orr, up for three of his five runs, has unsurprisingly opted for stablemate Eminent Jewel. |

9st 2lb |
Made all to win a poor C&D novice in February; 40-1 for her handicap debut here 16 days ago where she dropped right away over 6f; return to 5f should help but not easily recommended. |

21st May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins last summer (5f, good/good to firm) and didn't see out 6f when third of six on recent reappearance at Doncaster (6f, good to firm); has run well on slow ground in the past and he's a key player back down to 5f. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 5 (4) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Often inclined to pull hard over this trip in the past and was kept to 5f last year, when winning three times; undergone wind surgery since last seen six months ago and will need to settle in tonight's small field if he's to have a chance off this mark. |
16/1 |

7th 1 (6) |
1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
C&D winner; three turf victories this year, the latest in a Class 3 at Hamilton in August; disappointing back at Hamilton in September when soft ground shouldn't have been an excuse; the latest run raises a question now. |

12th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |

Handled heavy ground best when winning a claimer easily at a big price in May; hit hard by the assessor for that and he finished well held for his new yard last time. |
16/1 |
|
4th 9 (4) |
23rd Jun 2024 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Sprung a 40-1 surprise in a 3yo claimer at Leicester 26 days ago (7f, heavy); whether he can reproduce that for his new yard under these faster conditions is questionable. |
