20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Has modest strike-rate in recent years and ought to have coped better with the heavy ground when safely held on last two starts at Ffos Las (1m2f/1m); needs to up his game. |
14/1 |

28th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole handicap win over 1m on good ground but he has form on soft and heavy; signs of a revival two starts ago but he failed by a long chalk to confirm it on this track since; still capable of going well off his reduced mark if refitting cheekpieces helps. |
8/1 |

4 (6) |
9th Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Has dropped to a handy mark, but he didn't get going until it was too late when fourth of eight over C&D (good to soft) 12 days ago; capable of playing a part if things drop right; stable also runs Zambezi Magic. |

12-race maiden who has been campaigned over longer trips since his 2yo campaign; mixed record for new yard and others look safer. |

10th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Exposed maiden; fully effective at this track but he'll need to leave his last two starts behind him; new headgear now tried. |
14/1 |
|
10th 3 (7) |
3rd Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-13 but has finished runner-up in two of his four visits here, including after wind surgery in a first-time tongue-tie in April (7f); each way claims if reproducing that form off 3lb lower; stable also runs Loubiere. |
11/1 |
|
8th 1 (7) |
27th Jul 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
No wins in 12 but didn't run badly in his first two runs after wind surgery (here over 7f/1m at Ayr) and it wasn't his first poor run on turf softer than good last time at Beverley; off since early May but not ruled out with a hood added. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Three C&D wins last year (various ground) and she's just 1lb above her last winning mark; soundly beaten over C&D a fortnight ago but she may have needed that reappearance outing and is not discounted. |
16/1 |
|
7th 5 (4) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Gained all three of her 2025 wins over this C&D, the most recent on penultimate start; no certainty to make a successful reappearance, having never scored when fresh, but market support should be heeded. |

in touch with leaders, lost ground quickly when switched to near side over 2f out, tailed off from over 1f out, eased inside final furlong |

3rd Jun 2024 Good To Soft 1m 5f 26y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Continues to drop down the weights and there was a hint of a revival over 1m here two starts ago; however, he was well beaten here (1m2f) last time and is back to having plenty to prove (including stamina). |
