14th Apr 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Record of 5-11 on turf and his last success was at this track (1m4f, good to firm) last June; good second at Newcastle (1m2f) in final run for George Boughey but he returned for new yard with a tailed-off effort at Kempton (1m3f) last month; has bit to prove after that and he needs to bounce back near best; regular tongue-tie removed. |

took keen hold, prominent, led narrowly over 1f out, headed inside final furlong, no chance with winner when no extra inside final 110yds |

29th Mar 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Regular winner in three campaigns with George Boughey, for whom he ended last June with a win at Pontefract (1m4f) and good second on Newcastle Tapeta (1m2f); unraced on Polytrack; hood joins his now usual tongue-tie and he'll be competitive for new yard (same owners) if starting this term where he left off last season. |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Multiple winner at 1m2f-1m4f, including over C&D, but he never found his best form in 2024 and it's 12 months since he was last seen. |
14/1 |

Held up; landed a pair of 1m4f wins last summer but hasn't managed to hit the same heights this time round, finishing down the field on three of his last four starts; others arrive with more pressing claims. |

1st Oct 2023 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Fourth in this 12 months ago off 4lb higher; started this campaign with two good seconds (1m4f/1m6f) but has been tailed off the last twice on good and soft ground; now has more to prove than some of these. |
9/1 |
|
6th 8 (3) |
26th Aug 2023 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Three seconds and two thirds from his six runs at Goodwood; no win since May 2022 but good second at Ascot (1m4f) and Goodwood (1m6f; alongside Vaynor) in his first two appearances this season, before something seemed amiss at Newmarket six weeks ago; has a competitive mark if straight back to form and the cheekpieces (which received a positive initial response when fitted in the last two seasons) get their first airing this term. |

21st Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 2f 37y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Returned after wind surgery with close thirds at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) and Windsor (11.4f, good) but he didn't find much when disappointing at Kempton last time; bit to prove again after that and he's had only one win in his last 17 starts. |
6/1 |
|
11th 10 (3) |
25th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Only recently returned from wind surgery and under positive rides has finished close up at Lingfield (1m4f AW) and Windsor (1m3.5f); had no excuses either time but he's unlikely to be far away. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 5 (8) |
16th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
First run after wind surgery when unable to exploit a soft lead on the AW recently (1m4f); however, six of his seven wins have been on turf and he likes it around here; dangerously handicapped. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won twice here last summer and some sign of a return to form when fourth at Warwick last week; this mark isn't a gift but has each-way claims. |
4/1 |

4th 8 |
20th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Won twice at Worcester last summer but below his best on his last two starts and needs to come down a few pounds. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
5lb out of the weights and 50-1 when well beaten in the Welsh Champion Hurdle on final run in October; his earlier races were more realistic than that and he ran well; solid chance if fitness doesn't hold him back. |

31st Jan 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Scored five times, mostly on AW, for previous stable; placed over C&D last month on debut for new yard, beaten long way over 2m here since; may rebound, back down in distance. |
16/1 |
|
12th 10 (12) |
6th Jan 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Major improver in 2023 with four wins (1m2f-12.4f) for Sir Mark Prescott, and he wasn't far off his best when third of 13 over 1m4f here on stable debut in December; shapes as if he'll stay this longer trip; respected. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 1 (1) |
20th Dec 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Major improver with four middle-distance wins for Sir Mark Prescott (three on AW) since June; tailed off at Epsom on final run for that trainer but was reported to have had an irregular heartbeat and he still looks feasibly treated on his penultimate form; changed hands for 20,000gns in October and needs watching in the market on stable debut. |
