26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Closely-matched with Classic Encounter on their form at York last June (1m1f, good to firm); bit disappointing since Ripon win in July (1m, good to soft), although excuses for poor reappearance run (blindfold removed late). |

29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Three wins last May/July at about 1m on various ground and he's back down to his last winning mark; ended 2025 quietly and there's a suspicion he'll improve for this comeback run; withdrawn after getting upset in the stalls at Ripon two weeks ago (25-1 at the time). |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
10-47 on AW, with all bar one of those wins coming at Newcastle (7f-1m2f); now sits 3lb below his last winning mark, and Tom Kiely-Marshall's 5lb claim is a bonus, but seems to have lost his way; may strip fitter for 7f course comeback run. |

19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Nine course wins to his name, mainly in the early months of the year; 50-1 for his C&D return a month ago, when well behind a few of these, and needs a big step forward. |

20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Nine of his ten wins have come at this track (7f-1m2f) but last success was 13 months ago and he finished down the field here in his final two runs last year; looks opposable back from a break. |

4-39, three of those wins here (7f-1m) in 2022; soundly beaten both starts since returning from a near two-year absence; makes no appeal despite this easing mark. |

13th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

10th Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Won at Wolverhampton and over C&D last November but he's 0-11 since and has been well held in his last four runs; has plenty to prove and he needs to get back on track; headgear removed. |

12th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

19th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Claims on his C&D second in June but that came on soft and he's generally been kept to the AW; has blown it at the start twice since and is given a second go in cheekpieces, instead of the usual blinkers, for a trainer who also runs Red Evelyn. |

Six-time winner, the latest over C&D in May off 2lb lower; underfoot conditions shouldn't faze him but he does need to rebound from a lesser effort at Chester six weeks ago. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Goes back to the blinkers worn for both Newcastle wins, latterly off 3lb lower, for Iain Jardine in the winter but again no sign of the usual tongue-tie; big price and well held for his new yard on turf a few weeks ago. |
20/1 |

29th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
In good form for new yard this summer, recording a comfortable win at Redcar (1m, good) in July and just as good when second at Musselburgh (7f, good) three weeks ago (both under Rebecca Hitchen); another prominent showing is on the cards with the return to 1m in his favour. |

2nd 4 (1) |
8th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |

Recorded a comfortable win under Rebecca Hitchen, who was unable to claim, at Redcar (1m, good) last week on second start for new stable; rider can now use 5lb allowance, which offsets a penalty; scored over 7f very early in career; this in-form 9yo commands respect. |

Yet to score this season but she arrives in decent nick, finishing fifth of 12 in 7f handicap here 30 days ago; can go well again in first-time cheekpieces. |
