11th Nov 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Has often started slowly but he's taken things to the next level the past twice, refusing to jump away either time; is quite capable off this mark if in the mood but comes with obvious risks attached. |

3rd Oct 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Comes with major risks attached as he was badly out of form on turf last month and refused to race at Redcar last week, while he's untested beyond about 1m; however, his last two wins have come here and he's dropped to a dangerous mark; not ruled out now back on this track. |

10th Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Dual Tapeta winner who ran well from a wide stall on his Polytrack debut in August (first-time cheekpieces); not as good at Southwell last time but is back on his last winning mark and one of his wins came fresh, so the six-week break may help. |
10/1 |

29th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Can race too freely and hasn't won as often as one of his ability probably should, but he's on a good mark and turned in a solid effort in cheekpieces (retained) at Kempton two weeks ago; work to do with Ayr Harbour on that form though and his yard may have stronger claims with Kodi Lion. |

30th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Winning yard debut at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June before finishing second off the same mark next time but he hasn't figured in two starts since, the latest coming after an awkward start over this C&D; could run well if things drop favourably. |
7/1 |

9th 6 (10) |
14th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Convincing winner at Windsor (6f) on first run for this yard but he couldn't follow up off the same mark next time and never showed back at Windsor last month; had three AW wins earlier in his career but mostly underpowered over the winter and has a double-figure draw today. |
7/1 |

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. |

26th Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Losing run up to 18 and entitled to have run better than he did at Ayr last time (7f; handles soft); had been running quite well, though, and cheekpieces now replace a visor. |
6/1 |
|
4 (6) |
6th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Losing run is mounting up; however, has proved consistent in the last two months and latest effort can be marked up (met traffic issues); defied a much higher mark over C&D in 2023 and enters the reckoning. |

9th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Has a poor strike-rate since 2022 and isn't particularly solid on 2025 efforts; however, drops in grade off a reduced mark and can't be dismissed; very similar type to Illusionist. |
11/1 |

26th May 2025 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
He's dropped to a dangerous mark and showed the odd hint of spark on occasions towards the end of last year; can go well fresh but he's been regressive and has a poor strike-rate over the last few years. |

20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
11-time course winner who defied this mark over C&D in December; some creditable efforts since but he has been a bit up and down and was only sixth behind Anthropologist here last time; others preferred. |

6th 5 (9) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
11-time course winner, the latest over C&D in December, and he twice finished placed over C&D last month; certainly of interest on that form but this 12yo has gone off the boil on his last two starts. |
