17th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Went close over C&D last month and was a fair fourth at Southwell (first-time cheekpieces) last time; hard to rule out a good run with visor now tried but he's not easy to predict and losing run is mounting up. |

7th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
Patchy form since winning off 6lb higher at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) last May and has a bit to find with Many A Star and Ormolulu on last month's C&D running; application of cheekpieces needs to make a difference. |

Overall record of 1-14 but he finished runner-up five times last season and is well treated on the pick of that form; returned after wind surgery with an encouraging fourth at Doncaster (6f, good) in June but he was disappointing at Thirsk last month and needs to bounce back after that; cheekpieces removed. |

Has only won a maiden and that was in 2021; however, still early days with current yard and ran on well to make the frame at Doncaster a month ago (6f, good to firm); this looks a better race and 7f might be worth exploring again. |

1st Jun 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Favourite for this race last year but his was one of the stalls to open late and his chance was compromised as a result; solid effort at Doncaster two weeks ago and rider's claim will help offset being 3lb out of the weights; effective on most ground and likely to go well. |

On a losing run but he wasn't best drawn when seventh of 11 in 6f Pontefract handicap 43 days ago; he needs considering off a handy-looking mark. |

27th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Runner-up in the Group 2 Gimcrack Stakes as a 2yo; nothing like so good now but that wasn't a barrier to success in the corresponding event 12 months ago; 7lb lower this time around and he didn't run badly at Thirsk 17 days ago; headgear left off today. |

24th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Struggled for Archie Watson this year, his one placed effort coming when second in a Beverley seller in July (8.5f, good to firm); last of ten back in a handicap in August; too much to prove. |
16/1 |

10th 5 (8) |
25th Aug 2024 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Looked useful when winning 1m AW handicap for Sir Michael Stoute in spring 2023 but has largely been disappointing for new stable this year; went close in C&D seller (good to firm) last month but almost certainly needs to better that performance in this handicap. |

8th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Three heavy defeats at big prices in 6f handicaps at York this summer; easy to write off this 11yo on that evidence but he comes alive at Newmarket (six wins and three placed efforts from 14 visits) and he is 9lb lower than when a close third behind Spring Bloom and Dashing Dick in this race last year; revival would come as no surprise. |
20/1 |

15th 16 (1) |
25th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Had C&D form earlier in career; losing run goes back two years and although well treated on some good placed runs over 6f in 2024 he hasn't looked likely to capitalise so far this year. |

He's now 9lb lower than when completing a double last September and he got a bit closer to the target at Windsor ten days ago; finished second off a 4lb higher mark in this race last year; revival imminent. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
19-race maiden; ran some good races in defeat for this yard last year, including when last seen in October (1m2f, good to soft); withdrawn at the start having got upset in the stalls ahead of this month's intended return (10-1 at the time of withdrawal); others preferred for win purposes. |

12 (1) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Might have been a shade unlucky when close second over 1m here last August and he was a respectable third over 1m2f at Redcar (good to soft) when last seen in the autumn; should be competitive if ready to roll after 196 days off |
16/1 |
|
3rd 6 (4) |
4th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Might have been a shade unlucky when close second at Nottingham (8.3f, good) in August and is now 2lb below that mark, but was unable to land a telling blow on next two starts (1m/9.4f) and must up his game on this first attempt at 1m2f. |
