7th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |

Looks competitively weighted, having won off this mark at Ripon in July; however, form has dipped since August and failed to beat a rival last time; hard to support with confidence. |

28th Sep 2024 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Both wins at 5f, the latest here in July off 1lb lower; saddle slipped last time so that run can be ignored but her previous course flop also needs excusing; down in class but she has more to prove back at 6f. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Now 16lb lower than when winning at Ascot (6f, good to firm; also suited by 7f) on stable debut last spring, but finished well down the field in all four AW sprints since December and returns to turf with lots to prove. |
20/1 |

8th 7 (2) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
This his time of year, with two May wins in 2024 and a hat-trick last spring; arrives off the back of a string of modest efforts, though, the returning visor not making much difference last time. |
20/1 |

11th 2 (8) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Landed a turf hat-trick for the visor first going on last spring (won twice in May the year before too); well held in two AW runs from wide stalls this winter and can do better at this lower level with the visor back in place. |

20th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Won first two 5f handicaps, in April and May (soft and good to soft), including over C&D; hasn't had a great second half of the year, however, and after running better than the bare result at Ayr last month he was well adrift at Catterick since; could still go well if the mood takes. |
16/1 |
|
4th 4 (9) |
4th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
Equally effective over 6f-7f, even though both career wins have come over today's 5f trip (Class 6); lost his way after finishing in the frame in a selling handicap at Hamilton in July, but his latest Ayr effort (ninth of 20; first-time visor) was more encouraging; 2lb above last winning mark. |
20/1 |

9th 12 (9) |
21st Sep 2023 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Couple of Class 6 wins on slow ground in the spring; blew the start and failed to beat a rival when last seen; chance partly depends on whether he breaks better and takes well to new headgear. |

Sole win from 39 starts was in June 2022 and he's been beaten 13l or more in his last four runs; opposable. |

12th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |

Of interest on last year's best but he ended 2024 with a whimper and neither AW run this March suggested he was the answer. |

27th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Usually leads or races prominently; two sprint wins in 2025, the latest over 6f at Thirsk (good to firm; when 3lb higher) last May, but he was quiet towards the end of the campaign and has been off since August; perhaps other days. |
14/1 |

17th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Two wins this year, the latest when making all over 6f at Thirsk in May; there have been some excuses since then and his record at this track means he can't be ignored. |
7/1 |

9th 2 (5) |
23rd Jul 2025 Soft 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Still below a winning mark despite two successes since March (5f on Tapeta and 6f on fast turf), but yet to oblige on genuinely slow turf and a record of 85577 around here doesn't set the pulse racing. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Shaped as if in need of comeback run at Nottingham (5f, good; sixth of eight) in April; has some decent C&D form to his name and is 10lb lower (and claimer ridden) than when seeing off Our Absent Friends here in August 2024; foolish to discount hastily. |
10/1 |

6th 5 (2) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |

More miss than hit in 2025 but back on a good mark as a result and a record of two wins and two seconds from his five outings over this C&D means a revival can't be ruled out back from four months off. |
13/2 |

29th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |

Acts on soft; three wins in summer 2024, the first over C&D; two creditable minor honours this May/July but opposable on what he's done since. |

10th Nov 2023 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Form dipped sharply the last twice, so needs to bounce back in a major way; however, looks difficult to dismiss, having scored over C&D (off 3lb lower) on last AW appearance. |

20th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Smart earlier in career, when acting on soft; revived since wind surgery, winning on AW then a luckless third at Beverley (5f, good); however, he finished nearer last than first at Ayr since and left on the same mark. |

21st Sep 2023 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

In great form since having wind surgery, winning at Newcastle (AW) then unlucky third at Beverley (good; would likely have won with clearer run); raised only 1lb for latest effort and commands respect. |

24th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Bold effort from the front when upped to 1m on this track in March and she might have needed her first run since when dropping out over C&D this month; other front-runners could queer her pitch today. |

3rd Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Ten-race maiden whose first nine starts came over sprint trips, but she ran much better than expected when third of eight over 1m here in March; that run suggested this trip could prove ideal, but she has been off for six months; market may be useful. |

Returned to form with close fourth from the front at Catterick (5f, good to soft) last Wednesday when wearing this headgear for first time; however, needs something extra if he's to break his duck in this better race. |
