Garnered his third success of 2023 in 1m2f Chelmsford selling handicap 11 days ago; up 4lb but he's not taken lightly in his current mood. |

1m1f winner on soft ground in July; ran to a similar level when fifth of 13 over C&D on Saturday, his first attempt at this distance; Ben Curtis takes over from a 7lb claimer and he's not ruled out. |

Dual C&D winner, including in March off a mark 1lb lower than today; respectable fifth of ten here two weeks ago when he was held up off a steady pace and raced wide on the turn for home; respected. |

7th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Won over C&D in March and had to wait for a clear run when fourth here (1m2f) the following month; tailed off at Newbury in June but the suitability of turf is questionable nowadays and he could bounce back on this return to AW. |

9st 8lb |
13-race maiden; big chance on his Irish best but he was short of that level in three runs for Darryll Holland and again on his stable debut 17 days ago; new, longer trip needs to have a positive effect. |

C&D win last December; off the mark for the year when winning a Yarmouth handicap (11.5f, soft) in good style in October; ran well over 1m2f here four weeks ago, carried right by the errant winner, and he's capable of another prominent showing. |

Two 1m turf wins for previous trainer in the summer but no strong signs since, for that yard or current one, that he was about to break his AW duck; ran respectably in blinkers in 2021, first-time cheekpieces today. |

1st Nov 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

Two 1m wins on soft this summer; not discredited in midfield at Chelmsford (didn't get a clear run) this month and contested a voided race 13 days ago; changed hands for 6,000gns at the sales last week; considered but he's made far less of an impact on AW than turf. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

A fair 1m4f scorer for James Owen last March but below par for his current stable, a never-dangerous fourth of seven on his return in 1m1f Musselburgh handicap 34 days ago; needs to take a big step forward. |

Respectable fifth on AW last June on his first start for Alison Hamilton but lost his way badly in three subsequent outings; back from six months off and a leap of faith is needed. |

18th Oct 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Won twice on turf last season and he has run some good races in defeat this time around; last couple of efforts need forgiving; dropping into a 0-60 should help but he still has something to prove on AW. |

5th Oct 2023 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Won twice on turf last season and he has run some good races in defeat this time around; he wasn't at his best at Nottingham nine days ago but this is a more realistic assignment; no reason why he won't be fully effective on AW in time. |

Scored at Bath in May and was one of two to pull clear of the others when close second of four off today's mark at Nottingham (also 1m6f, good to firm) last month; didn't fire on latest outing but this drop back in trip won't be a problem if he's back on song. |

Made all for his last three wins, the latest at Bath in May; never better than when beaten a nose in four-runner race at Nottingham (again 1m6f on good to firm) two weeks ago, so he needs respect. |
