Ended last season with a win off just 1lb lower; has steadily found his form this term, creditable third over C&D most recently; possibilities, provided he takes well to first-time headgear. |

21st Jun 2025 Good 1m 4f 207y |

The pick of her form is a fourth in a Gowran handicap from a 13lb higher mark in June last year; her runs since then have been poor and she was last seen finishing a 32l ninth of 11 at Clonmel in May; cheeckpieces go on but they need to spark huge improvement. |

9st 4lb |
Authoritative win over C&D on first start for Chris Gordon last May and plenty went wrong when bidding to win that race again two starts ago (surely would have been heavily involved with a clear run); beaten into second at even-money on AW next time but the winner rather stole it; shortlisted. |

22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |

Won this race (firm) last year and he scored off 1lb lower at Kempton in the autumn; has remained in good form on AW this year and he chased home an improver at Lingfield (6f) last month; should get a good pace back on turf and he's a big player back at this track. |

5yo who has had several different stables during his light career; well beaten at Galway last autumn on final two outings but he's well worth a second look today given he's 2-2 on AW, the latest of those wins coming over C&D last February; makes stable debut with new trainer's horses running well. |
