19th May 2025 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Lightly raced and off since February 2024 but he won his second and third handicaps, at about 1m6f here and at Chelmsford, and he did good late work when upped to 2m at Lingfield when last seen; interesting contender. |

3rd Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
C&D win off 2lb higher in May; more recent efforts haven't been her best but getting back on AW may help, as could a change of headgear. |
6/1 |

10th 6 (7) |
14th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Both wins on AW (1m6f and 2m) but she acts on turf and is closely matched with Hawk Jet on a recent Salisbury run (1m6f); has possibilities but could probably do with the ground drying out. |
10/1 |
|
4th 2 |
30th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 6f 44y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Both wins on AW, off 1lb lower; ran creditably on turf at Lingfield (2m) in June but subsequent efforts leave something to be desired; not the percentage call. |

10th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Versatile trip-wise, he ran well when third of 11 at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) in June but was a shade disappointing when fourth at Doncaster (14.5f, good) last month when longer trip was expected to suit; still not out of this if putting his best foot forward. |
11/2 |
|
4th 1 (4) |
10th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 115y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Multiple winner and a versatile sort trip-wise; shaped as though coming to hand over 1m2f (under Bradley Furniss) at Newbury last time, a race that threw up several winners, and won't mind the step back up in distance; seems to handle most ground and is a player. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 9 (10) |
12th Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Four wins last year (1m2f-1m6f, including on turf) and this versatile sort was back on the scoresheet at Newcastle (2m, AW) in January; fair efforts on last two starts (1m/1m6f) and he might not be far away. |

9th Sep 2024 Soft 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Hasn't always convinced with her stamina over longer trips since last December; may benefit from this return to 1m4f but comes with a degree of risk, being 0-19. |
33/1 |

8th 13 (7) |
6th Jun 2024 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Is now 0-18 and she came in last of 12 in 1m6f Yarmouth handicap 15 days ago; she's very hard to warm to. |
25/1 |

12th 13 (4) |
22nd May 2024 Good 1m 6f 17y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Not solid on 2024 AW form; creditable second here on last turf appearance but this is a deeper field and she's an exposed-looking maiden (0-17); others preferred. |

22nd Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 133y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Went very close at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) last October but she's not matched that form in six runs since; still unexposed on turf but she's now 0-16 and needs to rediscover her spark; visor removed and cheekpieces return. |
12/1 |
|
7th 10 (3) |
6th Mar 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Maiden who finished just behind Forever Proud despite likely finding 1m2f around Lingfield sharp enough 16 days ago; more severe headgear (visor) replaces cheekpieces. |

pressed leader, raced in third and clear with one other after 2f, lost ground over 7f out, dropped to last and struggling from 3f out, tailed off |

11th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 5f 66y Class 6 |

23rd Dec 2023 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
8st 7lb |
Well held at big prices in three novice events (1m2f) and same story when upped to this trip on her handicap debut at Kempton (Polytrack) last month; still early days and is 2lb lower than last time but she needs improvement. |

Won over hurdles in November but no Flat success since July 2018; 5lb lower than when fourth of nine at Wolverhampton (16.5f, Tapeta) in December, but well held in three starts (AW/hurdles) since; others more solid. |

18th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 5f 66y Class 6 |
9st 5lb

His AW wins were all in 2017; won twice over hurdles in 2023 and penultimate start (Wolverhampton 2m) showed all is not lost on AW, but he ran poorly (14-1; made most) with blinkers reinstated over C&D one week ago behind two of today's rivals; others look a bit more solid. |

Placed several times, including 7l second at Chelmsford (1m5f) on reappearance; has each-way hopes but looks far from guaranteed to go one better, being still a maiden at the age of seven. |

15-race maiden and has been below par on his last two starts; dropping back in trip not sure to suit and first-time visor replaces cheekpieces; others preferred. |
