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. |

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. |
4/1 |

2nd 2 (6) |
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 |

1st 7 (10) |
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. |

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. |

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. |
14/1 |

14th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Failed to fire at Newcastle last week but this veteran had run two fine races in defeat beforehand; fully effective at this track too so no great surprise were he to rebound quickly. |
