4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Sole win from 27 starts was in a Chelmsford novice (5f, AW) in February 2024; well handicapped on his old form but he returned after 14 months off with a heavy defeat at Southwell (7f, AW) two weeks ago; opposable. |

8st 6lb |
Just one win to his name after 26 attempts; dropped 5lb during his 426-day absence but others still bring more pressing claims. |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Both wins have come at Chelmsford (5f, Polytrack) and is 5lb lower than for the latest in January; hasn't enjoyed the smoothest of runs in two of his last three starts and could go well from the inside stall granted a kinder trip. |
8/1 |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
All ten runs over 5f on AW, winning a novice and a Class 5 handicap at Chelmsford; cheekpieces didn't have a positive effect back at Chelmsford last month though and others are more appealing; first run at Southwell. |

9st 4lb |
Best run on turf was when runner-up to a useful sort in a 5f maiden here in July (soft; third has won since); off the mark in a Kempton maiden in February, but well below his best on handicap debut at Southwell earlier this month (5f; cheekpieces); headgear retained; up to 6f for the first time. |

9th Feb 2024 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
105,000gns 2yo; tenth of 12 on her belated debut at Jebel Ali (6f, dirt) in November, but having been dropped in trip and with the tongue-tie removed she beat a couple of previous winners when successful at Wolverhampton (5f, Tapeta) last month; major player despite her big weight for her triple-handed stable. |

1st 6 (1) |
15th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Cost 105,000gns as a 2yo but she was only tenth of 12 at Jebel Ali (6f, dirt) on her debut in November; travelled well to a point in that race and now drops to 5f for Archie Watson but she still needs to leave her initial form a long way behind. |

6th Apr 2024 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Unexposed after only four runs but made underwhelming handicap debut when sixth of nine at Southwell (6f) last month; needs to take a good step forward over today's longer trip. |
8/1 |
|
6th 7 (7) |
16th Mar 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
He hasn't landed a blow in two 5f events on Polytrack this year but stepping up to 6f will suit, as will this drop into Class 6 handicaps; blinkers given a go too and he's more interesting than many of these. |
