19th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 9lb |
Four wins at Newcastle when trained in Britain and won over this trip at Down Royal last summer; two low-key runs on first two runs for this yard but showed more when sixth of 19 at Navan last time; on a good mark if he can build on that. |

Only 2l away over 1m4f here in early March and last win was over C&D just over a year ago; however, this veteran is usually opposable these days. |

9st 3lb |
9lb lower than when beaten a head over C&D in February and last month's fourth of 14 back here (just behind Mr Heinz) was another good effort; just 1-21, but shortlist material on the pick of his form; blinkers return. |

8th Mar 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Didn't have the race run to suit down to 1m here last Friday and needs considering on her previous C&D near-miss (four of tonight's rivals behind); goes on the shortlist. |

1st Mar 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Well handicapped and travelled well before going down narrowly over 1m2f here recently; the obvious worry is that it's been a long time since she ran over 1m (stays 1m4f). |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Again no sign of the tongue-tie he wore for most wins; two runs this season were his first on turf since June 2024 and he needs to return to February's AW levels. |
14/1 |

4th 5 (9) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 12lb |
Again no sign of the tongue-tie worn for most wins as he has a rare run away from the AW; bit better at Lingfield recently on his second run for this yard but needs more back on turf. |
12/1 |

6th 9 (10) |
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. |

Formerly useful veteran who's missed a couple of chunks of his career and been on the downgrade in recent times; has been running over further this year and is tried in another different form of headgear tonight. |

Out of form on AW in early part of this year and his two recent turf runs were no better than respectable; continues to slide down the weights but needs to up his game. |
12/1 |

5th 5 (3) |
13th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Below his best this year but he's dropped down the weights and Nottingham last week was a step back in the right direction; he's saved his peak efforts over the last two years for this C&D and is a very interesting contender back here; cheekpieces return (worn once in 2019, unplaced). |

10th Feb 2024 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-13 since his successful racecourse debut and although he ran well when fourth of ten on stable debut here (1m) in December, he has failed to beat a rival in both starts since; plenty to prove. |
33/1 |
|
12th 10 (3) |
4th Feb 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Trained by Richard Hannon for a successful debut; has gone 0-12 in the meantime but it was a respectable stable debut over C&D in December and perhaps Chelmsford didn't suit last time. |
33/1 |
