13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Exploited reduced mark on yard debut over C&D but was beaten at odds-on when escaping a penalty at Ffos Las; that was a missed opportunity as he's now 6lb higher. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Tumbled down the weights for three yards on the AW and took advantage of a lenient turf mark for his new trainer, without the usual headgear, under Myla Coppins at Windsor last Monday; had a good bit in hand there and has no penalty for it; obvious chance. |
4/5 |

22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
All three wins at 6f and 7f on artificial surfaces; on a losing run of over two years but he acts on turf and is on a useful mark for his latest new yard on the pick of his 2025 form; usually wears aids but none today. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Ran well in a higher level on the AW two weeks ago (125-1) and that was after a lengthy break; might be sharper this time and has competitive form here off this sort of mark. |
8/1 |

4th 10 (6) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Generally struggled early in the year and returns from a break of five months; wins have all come after a recent outing and does most of his racing at a lower level now, so has a bit to overcome. |

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

Good third over a mile here last month but he failed to back it up over that same distance 11 days ago; perhaps vulnerable once again. |

1st Oct 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Form dipped at Redcar in June when last seen; has some respectable Newcastle form for current yard, notably a success off 2lb higher last December; interesting back at this venue. |
14/1 |

22nd Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Not the best of strike-rates (3-34) and yet to win over 1m; fair run when fourth after a slow start over C&D last time (soft; just behind Young Fire); worth considering. |

12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
No turf win since May 2022; has posted some decent efforts at Newmarket (6f, both tracks) this season, none better than when runner-up in June; cheekpieces are yet to elicit improvement but this appears a better option than Southwell (tenth of 14) last time; easing mark. |
16/1 |

10th 7 (13) |
25th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
He is on a competitive mark and has a course win on his record (7f); not beaten far at Newmarket this month when tried in cheekpieces for the first time; wide draw but he's not ruled out. |

1st Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Twice placed on the two courses here before his effort petered out tamely at Haydock two weeks ago; returning here has to rate a positive, as might the addition of cheekpieces. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Scored off this mark at Thirsk in May; has generally run to form since but he hasn't been at his best in two visits to Ripon; new headgear tried this afternoon. |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Multiple winner over 5f-7f, including here; versatile regarding ground; 1lb higher than latest win at Thirsk in May; matched that effort on his penultimate start but may find a couple too good on these terms. |
10/1 |

19th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Handy sort who won twice over C&D early last year and added another success at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta; first-time cheekpieces) in September; third of eight behind a thriving rival at Southwell (7f, Tapeta; first-time blinkers) 13 days ago showed that she remains in form and a player from 1lb lower. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 3 (7) |
6th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
The addition of cheekpieces saw her gain a third career success when digging deep at Wolverhampton (7f) in September; four of her five subsequent runs have been solid enough but she remains 3lb above that successful mark; first-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) need to give her something extra. |
9/2 |

5th 6 (4) |
31st Dec 2023 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
The addition of cheekpieces saw her gain a third career success when digging deep at Wolverhampton in September (7f); three of her four subsequent runs have been solid enough but more will be needed to win here. |
