22nd Jan 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Has mixed record in his eight starts but both wins have come at this track (7f) and he kept on well when third of 12 at Wolverhampton (cheekpieces added) last time; looks worth a try at this new trip and he's in the mix. |

28th Dec 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

Has low mileage; proved suited by the return to this C&D (back from layoff) three weeks ago, showing a game attitude and taking Newcastle record to 2-2; may well be capable of further improvement at this venue; major contender up just 2lb. |

17th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Has lost his form since a consistent spell and still has a poor strike-rate, with sole success in 2023; no certainty to take advantage of his reduced mark. |

28th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Just one win from 26 starts and he hasn't been firing on all cylinders of late, including when fitted with blinkers at Redcar on Wednesday; full revival required. |

Sole win from 25 starts came in a novice at Southwell in December 2023; ran well when fourth there last month but he needs to bounce back from two disappointing runs since; blinkers now replace cheekpieces. |

11th Nov 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |

Has often started slowly but he's taken things to the next level the past twice, refusing to jump away either time; is quite capable off this mark if in the mood but comes with obvious risks attached. |

3rd Oct 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |

Comes with major risks attached as he was badly out of form on turf last month and refused to race at Redcar last week, while he's untested beyond about 1m; however, his last two wins have come here and he's dropped to a dangerous mark; not ruled out now back on this track. |

All six wins on turf but running well on AW lately and probably did well to last for as long as he did when third of 12 at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) ten days ago; races off the same mark and should go well again. |

His last two wins were over 7f in 2024 but he's well treated on his old form and he ran well on a few occasions at up to 1m2f last season; seems to handle most ground and he needs watching in market after six months off; cheekpieces removed. |

Standing dish at Ripon, where he's recorded ten of his 12 wins; his 71st start is his first here; below par in both starts this season; drops 2lb but perhaps needs further favours from the handicapper to win again. |

8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Ten-time course winner who ended last season with two wins (6f/5f) at Ripon; struggled on Thirsk reappearance last month but he doesn't have a great record when fresh and he's not ruled out back at his favoured track; acts on good to firm and soft. |
