8st 10lb |
All six wins came on the AW when trained in Britain; standout run for this yard came on opening day of season when runner-up in 26-runner Curragh handicap (heavy), most recently didn't seem to get home over this trip at Gowran last month (soft); stamina concerns remain. |

All six wins have been on the AW; two fair runs at Newcastle in June/July but well beaten on last three runs on turf; plenty to prove. |

9st 9lb |
Won a similar race at Southwell in January; best effort since when third of 14 at Newcastle 19 days ago (1m; blinkered first time); a danger to all if the headgear works so well a second time. |

27th Mar 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Won 7f Southwell classified in January and is also suited by this C&D but his recent efforts have been disappointing and his overall profile is not persuasive. |

21st Mar 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

7f win here in January but he's gone off the boil more recently; a full revival is required. |

4th Mar 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

In good form early in the year but ran poorly behind two of these over C&D 11 days ago; is some way down the pecking order from another wide stall. |

15th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Five-time AW winner; ran well when fifth at Yarmouth on his stable debut, his first run back from a 519-day absence; not hit that level so far this winter but there is still time. |
16/1 |

5th 9 (9) |
7th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

C&D winner but his last success was almost two years ago and he's finished down the field at biggish prices in two runs this winter; others preferred. |

30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner (also 9.5f here) who returned last August from a lengthy absence and showed there was still minor ability there; didn't see the racecourse again until being beaten 11l in a similar event to this here (9.5f) recently; bit to prove at present. |

16th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Unplaced in 13 attempts over a variety of trips; slipping to a workable mark but others push stronger claims, particularly after he was last of eight over C&D in the 8.30 yesterday. |

15th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
First-time cheekpieces seemed to help when fourth of 11 over 1m4f here last month but upping him to 2m wasn't the answer next time and he didn't do enough over C&D since to think this is his trip either; work to do. |

23rd Jul 2024 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Winless since January last year, he has shown little encouragement in recent starts and it would be a major surprise if he were good enough. |

4th Jun 2024 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

1st Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Course regular who has dropped 1lb lower than when making all over C&D (good) in April; far from disgraced when fourth of 12 back here (good) last month; has form on a soft surface; shortlisted. |
10/1 |

14th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Dominated from the front over C&D (good) off today's mark for Stan Moore in April but not quite in that same form on any of three starts for current stable; others have more pressing claims. |

17th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Dual C&D winner (same race in April the past two seasons), both under aggressive rides; again didn't look to see out 1m2f last time but he'd lost his way prior to that anyway. |

13-race maiden; suggested her turn might be near when staying-on second at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in January but two lesser efforts followed, and this turf debut comes after a 161-day break. |
