7th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Can race freely and has done a lot of his racing over shorter, often in headgear, but proved this trip is within range on his Windsor comeback in May; below that level twice since though. |

15th Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
No margin for error off this mark but it was a Class 2 in which he wasn't beaten far at Doncaster a month ago (7f, soft); enters the reckoning. |
7/1 |
|
6th 9 (7) |
15th Sep 2024 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Finished last at Newcastle (7f, AW) last time but pulled hard off a slow pace; this hold-up horse was progressive previously and has won this year at York (7f, good to soft) and Haydock (7f, good to firm); each-way possible. |
14/1 |
|
12th 9 (11) |
22nd Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
8st 3lb |
Making good progress in 7f handicaps this year, beating 18 rivals at York in May and then picking up best to win at Haydock 12 days ago (Boardman second); this is tougher but on the up; well held in one AW run but it was after six months off. |

7th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Successful over 7f at Thirsk (heavy) and Catterick (good to soft) this term; good third off this mark in 1m AW contest most recently; solid contender back on turf. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 5 (1) |
3rd Sep 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Two wins on turf this year, at Thirsk (7f, heavy) in April and at Catterick (7f, good to soft) in June; ran well when third of eight in his only previous AW start at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) in August last year, but still to fully convince over this far. |
4/1 |

5th 11 (3) |
5th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Improved form since being gelded and he made it 2-4 this season when justifying favouritism at Catterick (7f, good to soft) 17 days ago; that was a last-gasp success but he reeled in a progressive rival and a 4lb rise looks fair enough; respected. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Ended 2025 quietly but that resulted in a drop in the weights and he bounced back to form when pipping Lir Speciale over C&D four weeks ago; that was his first run after a wind operation and he retains handicapping scope despite a 3lb rise; drawn widest. |
8/1 |
|
1st 5 (16) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Recorded useful wins on AW and turf last spring; not in the same form later in 2025 but has dipped back to a good mark as a result and he's gone well fresh before; no surprise were he to stage a revival back from wind surgery. |
16/1 |

11 (7) |
24th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 6y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Recorded useful wins on AW and turf in the spring but hasn't been in quite the same form since; doesn't look as if he's about to add to his tally. |

30th Sep 2023 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Won a 6f nursery at Lingfield (good to firm) off 5lb lower; no progress since and she needs the step up to 7f to give her a lift. |
7/1 |
|
4th 1 (2) |
13th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Looked one to keep onside when making a successful nursery debut at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) in July, but not matched that form in either start off this mark (both in cheekpieces) since; needs to bounce back and perhaps fast ground suits her better. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 2 (3) |
1st Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Yard won two of the last three runnings of this; patiently ridden from a wide stall when winning off 6lb lower at Lingfield in July (6f, good to firm) but was some way below that level on to soft ground in first-time cheekpieces (retained) latest, which gives her something to prove. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Has won four times, including twice here (5f/6f), but ideally suited by some give in the ground; proving hard to win with this season, although has run creditably on last four starts (on good to firm on first occasion); each-way chance. |
6/1 |

4th 7 (8) |
16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Scored at Ayr (6f) last July and she arrives in very good nick, beaten just a head over C&D 11 days ago having hung left late on; must enter calculations nudged up 1lb. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
4-30; rated 5lb lower than when last successful at Ayr (6f, good to soft) last July; has been knocking on the door lately, runner-up on last two starts, including under Paul Mulrennan at Ayr; should have a positive role to play. |
