Hard to fault on the score of consistency this year but it's nearly two years since his last success and others appeal as likelier winners. |

2nd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Both wins came over C&D in 2023, but losing run now up to 17 despite a slipping mark; beaten only 3l into fifth of 13 at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) eight days ago and could play a part if building on that in the returning cheekpieces. |

Both wins over 7f at Wolverhampton; has form at 1m, too, but he hasn't excelled himself in two C&D starts and others have stronger claims. |

10th Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Dual Tapeta winner who ran well from a wide stall on his Polytrack debut in August (first-time cheekpieces); not as good at Southwell last time but is back on his last winning mark and one of his wins came fresh, so the six-week break may help. |
10/1 |

29th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Can race too freely and hasn't won as often as one of his ability probably should, but he's on a good mark and turned in a solid effort in cheekpieces (retained) at Kempton two weeks ago; work to do with Ayr Harbour on that form though and his yard may have stronger claims with Kodi Lion. |

9st 5lb |
Won a Catterick novice (6f, soft) in September and she's been placed in two of her three handicaps since including when third over C&D last time; still has potential but she needs to find something extra to make a big impact here. |

22nd Nov 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |

Fifth-time lucky in maiden/novice company at Catterick in September (6f); went down only narrowly on handicap debut at Newmarket last month (7f) before appearing not to stay 1m at Newcastle. |

Off the mark at the fifth attempt in Catterick novice (6f) in September and she finished strongly when short-headed on subsequent handicap debut at Newmarket (7f); has run well at up to 7.5f previously and this unexposed 3yo is open to further improvement now tackling 1m for the first time. |

9st 9lb |
In good form this spring, winning at Thirsk (1m, good) and over C&D (good to firm) last month; front pair were 6l clear that day and if he can maintain that level of form he'd still look well treated despite a 5lb rise. |

9st 7lb |
The drop to Class 5 company saw him exploit a reduced mark at Lingfield last month; too keen again when down the field at Wolverhampton three weeks ago; has the ability to feature off this mark but he will need to settle better back up in grade. |

22nd Dec 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Ended a long losing run with his 25-1 win off a reduced mark at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) last Wednesday; still looks feasibly treated under a penalty but he has a tough draw this time and he struggled over C&D on his penultimate run; some risks attached. |

11th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Form dipped at Wolverhampton three weeks ago but he is normally consistent on AW and could well rebound; back on career-low mark and holds a good chance if taking well to new headgear (tongue-tie and blinkers replace hood/cheekpieces). |

22nd Dec 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |

0-9 since his novice win here (8.6f) last September but he's reached the frame in last three runs and was beaten less than 2l behind See You Boy at Lingfield (7f) last week; hasn't had much luck with the draw again but he shouldn't be far away. |

9st 9lb |
0-5 on turf but ran respectably over C&D nine days ago and ties in with Red Maids on that effort; still well treated on best AW form, though has a long losing sequence to quell (no success since early 2023). |

25th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Well treated on best AW form but her losing run is mounting up and this belated return to grass presents a question mark; her turf record (four attempts) is far from solid. |

16th Jun 2024 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

Five good runs over 7f on AW this year and all four wins have been on an artificial surface; modest form on turf, on last run, which was back in June 2022, finishing 9l seventh of eight at Chester (7f, good); best watched. |

7th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |

A fairly useful 6f-1m AW winner at his best for Darryll Holland, but he failed to beat a rival on his yard debut in 7f Kempton handicap in November; needs to take a big step forward after a break. |

14th 3 (5) |
27th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

He has made good progress in the last 12 months, winning three AW handicaps in the second half of 2024 and taking another step forward when scrambling home at Southwell (7f) on his return in March; less good twice since and now drops to 5f for the first time; others perhaps better treated. |

Runner-up at Kempton (7f, AW) two starts ago and he has a 9lb lower mark to work with on turf; however, he's been inconsistent this year and his sole turf win (from 15 attempts) came back in 2023. |

11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

2nd 4 (1) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Seven of his eight wins have come on AW, including two over C&D; only 1lb higher than for his last success in October and he ran for a long way when fourth at Chelmsford 18 days ago; has good draw back at this track and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a bold bid. |

7th Dec 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Has developed a habit of starting slowly, which is a concern, but her C&D defeat two weeks ago can be overlooked (repeatedly denied aclear run) and she's now 1lb lower than when second at Lingfield (7f) in October. |
