20th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
11st 1lb |
Won back-to-back races at Musselburgh (2m) and Les Landes (1m5f) in April but he's been generally disappointing since; on dangerous mark on this step back up in trip but needs to turn things around; tongue-tie added. |

9th Sep 2025 Good 1m 5f 192y Class 6 |
10st 7lb |
Won back-to-back at Musselburgh (2m) and Les Landes (1m5f) in April but has been below par of late; paid the price for doing too much too soon when a weakening fifth to Stellarmasterpiece (1m4f, here; beaten 2l) on penultimate start; easing mark helpful. |

Made all when winning in a small field at Musselburgh in April (2m, good) and he followed up in Jersey 19 days later; poor run at Doncaster last month but he bounced back with a solid effort at Catterick last week (1m4f, good to firm); shouldn't be far away. |

11th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
His turn was looking near when runner-up in three handicaps during early 2024 but he's been out for a long time and returns after a wind operation; best to let the market guide. |

24th Mar 2024 Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Lightly raced 4yo whose turn looks near, having finished a good second in a couple of 2m AW contests since handicapping; possibilities provided he's as effective on turf and back down in trip. |

2nd Oct 2024 Good To Soft 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
His last four wins have been over C&D, albeit spread over nearly three years; latest came by a nose in July and he was runner-up at Haydock on penultimate outing, before losing his chance at the start at Chester latest; well capable of being on the premises, including on soft. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
12st 5lb |
Finished strongly to force a dead heat with Ryebridge over C&D (good to soft) on his handicap hurdle debut 13 days ago; wore cheekpieces on that occasion but they are now replaced by the visor he wore regularly during his Flat career; retains handicapping scope on his useful form in that sphere. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |

Has made the frame in two races at Wetherby (2m) since switched to this code; opening hurdles mark is very attractive judged on best Flat form; possibilities. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
3lb lower than when winning at York (1m2f, soft) a year ago and very likely to have his optimum conditions, but a leap of faith is required following two poor efforts since returning from 308 days off last month. |

Returns from break on career-low mark but this regressive 9yo is yet to add to his German Group 3 success in 2021 and is difficult to enthuse over. |

14th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |

Has lots of form under Henry Main, notably two wins in 2021; three-year losing spell is a big negative but current mark is attractive; not ruled out. |

Has sound claims on her 1m2f form (including on soft) for Karl Burke and dam's side suggests this new trip will suit; sold for 50,000gns since last run; not fully exposed; interesting. |
