11st 0lb |
Rediscovered winning ways at Ayr (3m, soft; 5-1), that his second run back from a short break; the handicapper has responded with a 7lb rise, but this stablemate of Whiskey On Ice stays well and handles most ground conditions; likely to have a say in the finish. |

15th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Long in the tooth now but looked as good as ever last year and was very respectable third over C&D (soft) in December; needs to rebound from a below-par run here on New Year's Day but recent 2lb drop helps, and he has gone well for 10lb claimer Dominic Hislop before. |

Doesn't have many miles on the clock for a veteran (2-26) and was just ahead of Evenwood Sonofagun and Dalileo when all three were no match for an improver over C&D 17 days ago; can run well again with 10lb claimer Dominic Hislop retaining the ride. |

Still a maiden and he underwent wind surgery before pulled up in 3m2f Sedgefield handicap chase in January; not one to rely on. |

25th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 59y Class 5 |

0-24 under all codes; gave fairly good account of himself when fourth over C&D (soft; beaten about 16l) last month but is effectively 4lb higher from further out of the weights today and needs subsequent wind operation to have made a difference. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |

Posted some good efforts when cheekpieces were added towards the end of last season, perhaps most notably when second at Kelso (2m4f, good) in April, and his run at Cartmel (2m5f, good to soft) a fortnight ago was much better than eventual 33l defeat suggests; one to consider. |

Fairly useful for Alan King before absence but that layoff seems to have put the brakes on as he's shown little over hurdles and fences in two starts for new yard; first-time tongue-tie needs to help spark a revival; could only consider if backed. |
