22nd Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Sent handicapping for three wins (all on softer than good; unraced on heavy) and a controversial second from four starts this spring, all at odds on; good to firm may have been against him in June on his only appearance since; absent three months but he catches the eye with the ground back in his favour and his sire gives encouragement for 1m2f. |

25th Jun 2023 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Three wins and a controversial second in four handicap runs this year, climbing 31lb in the weights as a result; suspect there is more to come and he's one to take seriously; untested on faster than good to soft. |

18th Oct 2023 Heavy 1m 2f 50y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Made all for 6l success over C&D two weeks ago, taking record at Nottingham to 2-2 and record on soft/heavy to 3-5; should cope with going back up 6lb and holds very strong claims kept to same scenario. |
3/1 |

1st 1 (6) |
4th Oct 2023 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Sometimes front-runner; 317-day absence before this season, during which his second at Windsor and third at Newbury have been his best efforts, both over 1m2f on soft; upset in the stalls and withdrawn once in July; edging down the weights but may be vulnerable to an improver. |
7/2 |

3rd 2 (6) |
22nd Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Sometimes front-runner; below form during a light 2022 campaign but returned from 317-day absence with second of seven at Windsor (1m2f, soft) in May; upset in the stalls and withdrawn on his next intended start, before a backward step when favourite in returning cheekpieces (absent since May 2021) eight weeks ago; none too solid. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
8yo who has been in and out this year and was soundly beaten at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) last time but prior to that he won over today's C&D (soft) and can't be ruled out off this 4lb higher mark. |
10/1 |

28th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Retains ability aged eight and bagged a Class 2 prize at Doncaster (1m2f, soft) most recently, taking record to 10-56; back on career-high mark but drops back in grade; may well remain competitive. |
9/2 |

13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
In top form when racking up a hat-trick last summer and back at that level when third over 1m2f at Newcastle (AW) and Chepstow (good to soft) this summer; never a threat after a slow start at Southwell last time but more than capable off this mark and Oisin Murphy takes the reins. |

2nd Feb 2026 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Five-time course winner, but he's never scored beyond 1m2f and his last success was in November 2023; well handicapped on his old form but he's been well held in last four starts and latest was over 1m6f here last month; opposable. |

11th May 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Has run well over C&D; made a winning return at Sandown (1m2f, soft) in July 2023 from 632 days off; major backward steps in his three starts later that year and left Peter Chapple-Hyam for 6,500gns in February 2024; absent since and a tongue-tie (tried once in 2021) is back. |

9th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won here over 7f in February either side of wins over this trip at Kempton; encountered a wide trip when down the field in a higher grade than this last time and he may well be able to bounce back. |
8/1 |

8th 11 (8) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Arrives seeking a four-timer, two of the wins over C&D, and he hasn't been treated punitively by the assessor having gone up just 6lb; this is a much stiffer test of his credentials but there are no doubts surrounding his wellbeing. |
12/1 |
|
1st 6 (8) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Has started 2026 with wins over C&D and in a small field at Wolverhampton (7f); only 1lb higher on the hat-trick bid but this is more competitive and he's drawn widest. |
5/1 |
