14th Sep 2024 Good 0m 5f 143y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Seventh in this last year; down the field at Windsor last time and he may have been favoured by racing against the near-side rail when making all in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) two starts ago; however, he's won three of his five British starts this season and can't be ruled out. |

12th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Quiet in Bahrain over the winter but he's 3-4 since returning to Britain this summer including a front-running win in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) nine days ago; a 3lb rise for that success looks fair and he's a big player again. |

Three 6f wins this year, the first over C&D and last two at Southwell; finished down the field in last two runs but he didn't get any luck at Southwell last time and this is a big drop back in grade; possibilities. |

Comes here at the top of his game, winning three of his last four starts (C&D the last twice); creeping up the weights but today's rider knows him well and there is no obvious reason he wouldn't go well again. |

29th Mar 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Ended 2024 with a pair of AW wins, the second over C&D off just 1lb lower; solid third at Southwell when last seen in January; wouldn't look any more than averagely handicapped but Oisin Murphy has a good record on him and his presence in the saddle is an obvious plus. |

9st 8lb |
Multiple C&D winner; 8lb lower than for his latest win 12 months ago; good fourth, beaten just under one length, in a better race here 12 days ago and he's one to take seriously. |
4/1 |
|
4th 15 (12) |
12th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Five C&D wins and the latest was in this race last year; that was off 8lb higher but he's generally struggled since and was only fourth of six at Epsom last month; handles most ground but he needs a major upturn in form back at this track. |

9st 10lb |
Few chances on AW but he ran well over C&D in November off 3lb higher; returned to winning ways in a Racing League handicap at Chepstow two weeks ago (6f, good to soft); respected despite a 4lb rise and his draw in stall 1. |
10/1 |

8th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |

He's had a mixed campaign but has shown spark on occasions and was stretched by 7f last time; now below last winning mark and he's not ruled out. |

12th 3 (13) |
12th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Much better known as a sprinter but has form over 7f; now 3lb lower than when placed at Goodwood (6f, heavy) in May and his more recent efforts were perfectly respectable; back up in trip with William Buick up; a possible. |

27th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 7f 37y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Has a patchy profile but he bounced back with a dominant display at Ffos Las (7.3f, heavy) four weeks ago; a 5lb rise looks fair enough but this is a big step back up in grade and he could have competition for the lead this time; others are more persuasive. |

Very useful 6f handicapper at his best but he hasn't gone on from a good reappearance in April and he's no good thing to improve on a 0-8 record on AW, even though he did have C&D form in the past. |
