14th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Rattled off a four-timer here (7f-1m) early last year but he was out of sorts in his final three runs in 2024; now only 1lb higher than for his last success but this 11yo needs a major turnaround. |

Veteran; rattled off a four-timer here (7f-1m) early in the year; weakened when sixth to a stablemate of Judgement Call over C&D six weeks ago and others appear to be on more manageable marks. |

4-39, three of those wins here (7f-1m) in 2022; soundly beaten both starts since returning from a near two-year absence; makes no appeal despite this easing mark. |

30th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

9st 9lb |
Difficult to win with in recent years, now 7lb lower than when last successful at Southwell (1m) in August 2024; met trouble when sixth (beaten over 4l) here on penultimate start, but latest Leicester effort was less encouraging. |

It's now 17 outings since his last success but he arrives on the back of a respectable sixth of 11 in 1m Newcastle handicap last month; easing in the weights and no forlorn hope. |

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. |

9st 1lb |
All five wins have come here, the latest over C&D in December, and he was short-headed over 7f here on March 12; this hold-up horse was on the wrong end of a pace bias when 2l sixth over C&D last Saturday and could play a leading role if this pans out more favourably. |

6th 10 (9) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |

All of his five wins have been at Newcastle and he produced a strong finish to go close over 7f here last Thursday; only 1lb higher on this step back up in trip and he's an interesting contender. |

Beaten favourite at Thirsk this month and that abject performance may well have been down to heavy ground; has had excuses with one thing and another in previous runs here this year and is evidently felt capable off this sort of mark (down another 2lb). |
