20th Apr 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
His three wins here were in the old Fibresand days and he's not scored anywhere since September 2023; plenty of competitive shows at this track, the latest three starts ago, and his usual tongue-tie (absent last time) returns but others appeal more for win purposes. |

Creditable third at Southwell (1m3f) last month but he's not easy to predict and was beaten 8l at Wolverhampton (1m4f) last time; needs to bounce back and will need a good pace back at this trip; tongue-tie removed. |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Scored over hurdles at Stratford last May but below par on the AW over the winter, beating just one home in 1m2f handicap at Chelmsford in February; more is required after a break in a change of headgear. |
14/1 |

26th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

C&D scorer but she's not proving the easiest to predict of late, tried in a change of headgear when only sixth of eight in 1m handicap here last month; others are preferred. |
12/1 |

6th 8 (6) |
15th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
All three of her wins on the Flat have been over 1m2f; failed to beat a rival home at Southwell (1m3f, AW) in November but she ran a better race when fifth of 12 at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW) 26 days ago; cheekpieces replace the visor but this is the shortest trip she has encountered since July 2023. |

Has won eight races, including four over 1m1f here; third to Dandy's Angel in this race last term, but not been in the best of form this season; others appeal more. |

18th Oct 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Won twice on turf last season and he has run some good races in defeat this time around; last couple of efforts need forgiving; dropping into a 0-60 should help but he still has something to prove on AW. |
16/1 |

8th 2 (11) |
5th Oct 2023 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Won twice on turf last season and he has run some good races in defeat this time around; he wasn't at his best at Nottingham nine days ago but this is a more realistic assignment; no reason why he won't be fully effective on AW in time. |
6/1 |

26th Sep 2023 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 2 |

Has won on good and soft; another sound effort in defeat over this far at Leicester two weeks ago but looks vulnerable in this higher grade. |

30th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Landed hat-trick this time last year, including two round Brighton, so this track won't be a concern; a string of poor efforts since, though, including when beaten a long way behind Pride Of Nepal at Windsor last week. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Fired off a hat-trick at this trip in cheekepices last May/June but he's been well held on last five starts, including when making his comeback at Yarmouth last month; visor (unplaced previously) is tried for a third time. |

30th Apr 2026 Good 1m 1f 21y Class 6 |

1m2f turf hat-trick last May/June (Brighton and Pontefract); went off the boil and last of five on reappearance in January but he's well handicapped if springing back to life; 0-15 record at Yarmouth includes some places. |

10st 7lb |
Just 2-18 over hurdles but looked back in prime form at Wincanton (1m7f, soft) last month, winning 13-runner handicap by 3l, and a subsequent 5lb rise is not excessive. |

Not at his best on his two hurdling starts towards end of last year but now 1lb lower than when winning at Ludlow (2m, good) last spring and won't mind what the weather does. |

Sole win (13 races) came over 7f on Chelmsford AW in July; has mostly run respectably since; experiment with 1m2f on latest start did not work out and he has a place chance back at 7f today. |

Unplaced in 13 attempts over a variety of trips; slipping to a workable mark but others push stronger claims, particularly after he was last of eight over C&D in the 8.30 yesterday. |

15th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

First-time cheekpieces seemed to help when fourth of 11 over 1m4f here last month but upping him to 2m wasn't the answer next time and he didn't do enough over C&D since to think this is his trip either; work to do. |

Pleasing third in first-time headgear (cheekpieces; retained) on her return at Nottingham 11 days ago; no good thing to build on that but yard had another big-priced winner recently. |
10/1 |

3rd 8 (2) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Returned to form with a good fourth at Lingfield (1m, AW) in September but she was back in the doldrums in her final run last season; record is now 1-21 and she finished down the field on her reappearance last spring; cheekpieces added. |
