21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 135y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
His win for Dylan Cunha last summer came over 5f and he's stuck to that trip since; well held in two starts for this yard and there must be a worry he'll pull hard again over this distance. |

Sole win (21 races) was at Yarmouth in a 5f classified event on good to firm last July; two thirds subsequently for Dylan Cunha last season also make him of interest, but last month's reappearance less so for new yard. |

9st 4lb |
Turf winner at about 7f; has raced over a range of trips for new connections (1m, 1m4f and 7f) and didn't get much luck in running at Wolverhampton two weeks ago; worth another go at 1m but is quite exposed and unraced here. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Won 22-runner Class 5 at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) in March and added to tally at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) in May; runner-up off this mark at Newmarket (1m) on penultimate start; fine on AW (4-33), so he's one of the likeliest. |
7/2 |

6th 1 (3) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) and Thirsk (1m, good to firm) in the spring and he got back to his best when going very close over C&D two weeks ago; only 1lb higher and he's a big player if he can repeat that form. |
15/8 |

2nd 2 (2) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Doubled his tally on turf with big-field amateur riders' win at Doncaster (good to soft) in March and he scored again at Thirsk (also 1m, good to firm) in May; was better than ever with those wins but he's not threatened in his last three starts and he's still 5lb higher than for his last success; others are more persuasive. |

3rd Jan 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Yet to get heavily involved in six starts; showed minor promise at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack; first-time cheekpieces) on his penultimate start; sported blinkers when beaten 10l back there latest; may improve if another change of headgear (eyeshield) and a 2lb drop helps. |

Five-race maiden; ran respectably in first-time cheekpieces over C&D (handicap debut; two places behind Rising Force) last month; switch to blinkers may squeeze out progress from him; one to consider. |

2nd Sep 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Narrow winner of a 7f nursery at Chelmsford in December (blinkered for the first time); best effort since when second over 7f here in July (good to soft); disappointed here last week though and returns to 1m with headgear left off. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |

Prominent racer; won twice on AW earlier in the year and he has run some good races on turf this summer; latest C&D run was disappointing but he's the type to bounce back quickly. |
11/2 |

5th 4 (6) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won twice on AW (1m2f/9.4f) in early part of this year and has made the frame five consecutive times (1m-1m2f) since returned to turf in the spring; holds no secrets from the handicapper and may be better suited by 1m2f but ought to give another good account. |

Six-time AW winner who is 0-12 on grass but he's been placed on turf in his last three runs including when runner-up at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) 16 days ago; on same mark here and he should be in the thick of things again. |

Progressive filly who was given a basement mark for her handicap debut and has improved in leaps and bounds since, winning three times from 1m to 1m2f; latest win was here (9.4f) a week ago by 3l; up 8lb and has stamina to prove for this longer distance but she's thriving and not dismissed lightly. |
