9th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Won at Pontefract (1m4f, good to soft) for Mick Appleby last September and bounced back from below-par efforts to end 2025 when making a successful start for the Henrietta Knight stable over 1m4f at Thirsk (good) four weeks ago; did that readily but this looks significantly tougher than that five-runner affair. |

Won at Pontefract (1m4f, good to soft) in September off just 3lb lower and final three defeats for Mick Appleby were over further; could go well if ready for action after his break. |

27th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Posted career-best performance when leading close home in valuable Summer Hurdle over C&D (good) in July; 6lb higher today but confirmed his wellbeing with a good Flat run last month; probably won't be far away. |
7/2 |

3rd 3 (6) |
30th Aug 2025 Good 1m 7f 196y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Never better on Flat than when winning over C&D (soft) in June, coming from the rear with the first two finishing 6l clear; 4lb higher today but that was followed by a hurdling career best, when winning a good prize on good ground six weeks ago, so he's on a roll. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 207y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Three consecutive wins over hurdles in May/June (2m-2m7f, good/good to soft) and he was running okay in that sphere last month; however, he has something to find in today's company and he didn't improve for the switch to fences when soundly beaten in January on his sole previous chase start. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Came up rather short in higher grade last time; solid record (1112) in Class 4 otherwise this term, albeit has shot up the weights as a result; may be in the assessor's grip now. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
It took a return to selling level to regain the winning thread in May but has since gone 112 in 2m4f/2m7f handicaps; getting high in the weights (nudged up another 1lb) but he's pretty solid. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Third in his last three starts, but may not have achieved that much and remains without a win on the Flat since the end of 2023; others more compelling. |
9/1 |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 27y Class 4 |

Comes here on the back of two third-place finishes but the latest was behind Trojan Soldier and there is no obvious reason why the placings would be reversed. |
10/1 |

3rd 5 (7) |
17th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
There was some restoration of his Flat fortunes when third of five at Southwell (1m6f, AW; stays 2m) on latest start but he's without a win on the Flat since the end of 2023; has another career-low mark but it's hard to know when he will take advantage. |

24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
With new yard this year and much improved when readily making all in good-ground handicaps at Epsom (1m2f) and York (1m4f) this spring; a first crack at 1m6f isn't fanciful but he needs to bounce back from a heavy defeat in 1m4f Listed race at Newmarket eight weeks ago. |

6th Oct 2023 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Has an all-or-nothing profile since handicapping, having scored twice (1m2f/1m4f) and been a disappointing favourite twice; could easily bounce back, provided he's suited by this new trip. |

14th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Son of Le Havre who displayed a good attitude when landing 1m4f Newbury handicap 26 days ago; he appeals as the sort to do better still so merits serious consideration in first-time cheekpices. |

29th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Has a record of 4-7 at this venue, mostly for Chris Wall, including wins in this race for the last two years; out of sorts for new yard this term but a revival is entirely possible off a handy mark back here; hard to leave off the shortlist. |
8/1 |

8th 1 (2) |
14th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 3 |
10st 3lb |
Course scorer for Chris Wall but he's yet to fire in three runs for his current yard, very slowly away when last of ten at Newmarket in June; lots more is required after a break. |
20/1 |
|
10th 2 (8) |
30th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Acts on good to soft; ridden by 7lb claimer Kaiya Fraser on last four outings, winning on the Rowley course at Newmarket on his last two runs of 2022 (for Chris Wall) but below form this term; has a competitive mark if surging back to his best. |

Landed another Chester win in May but behind Stressfree, Have Secret and Paddy The Squire there last month, albeit perhaps just needing the outing after 11 weeks off; acts on heavy. |
18/1 |

7th 1 (8) |
14th Sep 2024 Heavy 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
C&D winner on soft and good to firm at the last two May meetings; below par at Epsom and Newcastle this summer but returns from an 11-week break only 1lb above the mark he defied in May. |
11/2 |
|
7th 2 (8) |
29th Jun 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Enhanced his good Chester record there in May (1m2f, good to firm); comfortably held off this mark at Epsom since but good chance he'll bounce back and Wolverhampton exploits bode well for his first visit here. |
