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his second at Windsor and third at Newbury have been his best efforts, both over 1m2f on soft; upset in the stalls and withdrawn once in July; edging down the weights but may be vulnerable to an improver.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campaign but returned from 317-day absence with second of seven at Windsor (1m2f, soft) in May; upset in the stalls and withdrawn on his next intended start, before a backward step when favourite in returning cheekpieces (absent since May 2021) eight weeks ago; none too solid. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
On a long losing run but he's twice gone close on AW this year (7f/1m) and fared best of the eight-strong centre group when fifth of 13 here (1m, good to firm) a fortnight ago; might not be far away. |
8/1 |
|
5th 9 (14) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
On a lengthy losing run but he's knocking firmly at the door, just edged out in a first-time tongue-strap at Lingfield (1m) four weeks ago; goes well at Newmarket and makes plenty of each-way appeal. |
14/1 |
|
2nd 9 (1) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
From a wide draw he did plenty of early running to get his position at Wolverhampton (7f) two weeks ago and that softened him up in the finish; without a win since 2023, but well drawn, stays this far and a tongue-tie is added. |

Lingfield AW winner over a mile in 2023; lost his form afterwards; mostly over hurdles for this yard; others preferred; cheekpieces. |

17th Jul 2024 Good 1m 3f 103y |

Winner in Britain for Andrew Balding; no show in four starts in maiden hurdles for his current trainer; best watched. |

24th Mar 2024 Good 1m 7f 152y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
No great shakes on the Flat; placed in both completed starts over hurdles, behind the very smart Burdett Road first time out and then 9l off Royal Way at Ludlow; better off at the weights with that rival and drying conditions are probably a good thing on handicap debut. |
9/1 |

3rd 10 |
7th Feb 2024 Good To Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Flat maiden but showed promise; had a subsequent winner behind him when no match for the talented Burdett Road at Huntingdon (good to soft) and the heavy ground proved all too much for him in a Listed race at Aintree; should be a factor back down in class under more suitable conditions. |
6/1 |

9th Dec 2023 Soft 2m 0f 209y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Talented maiden on the Flat and bumped into subsequent Grade 2 winner Burdett Road when well-beaten second on last month's hurdle debut at Huntingdon (2m, good to soft); open to improvement in this code and not ruled out. |

23rd Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Wide-margin course win on her handicap debut last September (1m4f, soft); best run since when a close third of seven at Hamilton last month (1m5f, soft); 2m likely to be in range but her three best efforts have been on soft ground and she's unlikely to get that here. |
9/2 |

3rd 1 (5) |
29th May 2024 Good To Soft 1m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Finished last on final run last season and same story on recent return; however, she may have needed that latest run and this lightly raced 4yo is not written off in view of her progressive form last August/September. |
10/1 |
|
6th 6 (5) |
17th May 2024 Good 1m 4f 15y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who got off the mark at Ffos Las (1m4f) in September; hung badly left when last of five at Nottingham following month so needs to hit the ground running on her seasonal return. |

4th Oct 2023 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Both wins have come on Polytrack (1m2f/1m4f) but he acts on soft ground (ran once on heavy); 0-11 on grass but he may have needed his latest start, when absent three months and representing a new stable; competitive mark judged on best turf/AW efforts. |
12/1 |
|
4th 3 (3) |
15th Sep 2023 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
in touch with leaders, headway over 2f out, weakening when bumped and carried left over 1f out |
