8st 8lb |
Has raced exclusively on AW (mostly Polytrack) and strike-rate is 5-10; respectable fifth of 14 when 20-1 for valuable race at Newcastle on latest start but this is his first run beyond 1m, as well as first on turf, and he probably needs a career best; a bit to prove. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
On much reduced mark but this Kempton specialist has not won since 2022 and has form figures of 90068079 this year; cheekpieces return on his second run after a break but he needs a major revival back up in trip. |
12/1 |

18th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Prolific course winner but the latest of them was back in April 2022; now rated 32lb lower but he wasn't in much form earlier in the year; could revive after his break; stable also run Galel; betting can guide. |
12/1 |

5th May 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Eight-time course winner who is 12lb lower than when a close third over C&D last September; a market check is advised but this 10yo has struggled this year (including here) and is without a win since April 2022. |

21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Two wins at 7f on AW and he went close on that surface at Wolverhampton (7f) in March; below that form on last two starts and has something to prove back at 6f on this forecast easy turf; blinkers go on. |
8/1 |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

Regressive gelding who's often been inclined to pull hard since returning from a year off; winless since his 3yo days and there are safer options. |

10th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Overall record of 2-30 but this 7yo has been in good form recently and he was only just caught over C&D last time; only 1lb higher and she should make another bold bid. |

25th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Three of his five wins have come at this track; not at his best on turf the last twice but he's edging back down the weights and a better showing can't be ruled out. |

Five-time AW winner but made it 0-12 on turf when finishing last at Brighton, where he ran well to be third the time before; even if back on song, all his wins have come at a lower level than this. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
He has a much better strike-rate on AW than turf and was well beaten over C&D last time; however, prior to that he was second of six at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) and is not written off today. |
9/1 |
|
5th 5 (5) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Eight AW wins but just one on turf, at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) last May; no match for well-treated reviver there 18 days ago but he saw the race out nicely to take a late second; can play a part. |
13/2 |

2nd 3 (5) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |

Scored at Chelmsford (6f) in December and not so bad as his recent form figures suggests, challenging wide when ninth in 6f Southwell handicap last month; this C&D winner is not out of things. |

4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y |
10st 3lb |
Two AW wins (at 5f and 6f) last year for Jonathan Portman; has run well off marks in the mid-70s; now a modest 60, having shown very little in four runs for this stable, including a 7f claimer at Dundalk last time; definite chance on his old form; worth a market check. |

11th 12 (6) |
15th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y |

Two-time AW winner at 5f-6f for Jonathan Portman; hard to fancy on recent form (blood noted at both nostrils on comeback run), too keen at Ayr latest; first-time tongue-tie. |

9th 8 (6) |
7th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Two-time AW winner at 5f-6f for Jonathan Portman; blood noted at both nostrils after a poor run at Down Royal (7f) for May's stable debut and he beat one home back there (5f, also good) having stumbled last time; risky. |

Both wins in Britain have come on the AW and he went down by only a head at Kempton (7f) last time, but he did score on turf in France (for this stable); further probably suits him best, but he stil comes into this in better form than most. |

Has tended to come to the boil around this time in previous years but was in no form for his new yard on the AW when last seen; has landed the outside stall (is a free-goer who tends to race on the pace) back from ten weeks off. |
