22nd Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Began his career with two good 6f runs on Tapeta; upped to 7f for his handicap debut at Leicester last week (good to soft) and saw the trip out well, just unable to peg back a rival who secured first run on him; faster ground to deal with this time but unexposed at the distance. |

15th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Placed in 6f maidens/novice on first three starts last term; disappointing with cheekpieces in valuable AW maiden last time (6f); headgear left off for handicap debut; step up to 7f should suit. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Well short of his best since joining this yard, only beating a handful of runners home in his four runs in 2026; tumbling down the weights but not a solid option. |

23rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Won four times for his previous stable, three of which came on the AW at Newcastle; ended his time with that yard with some lesser efforts and he's been well held in two starts for Scott Dixon; dropped another 3lb. |

14th Oct 2024 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Lightly raced 3yo who made it 2-3 for the year when beating 13 rivals to win at Newcastle (7f, AW) last month; also effective on good to soft and good to firm; that latest win can be upgraded as she had to wait for a clear run, and a 4lb rise could prove to be lenient; firmly in calculations. |
7/2 |

1st 9 (4) |
10th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Created a good impression off a 4lb lower mark on her comeback and did well to go as close as she did when last seen after blowing the start badly; remains open to improvement, so has to be considered. |
5/1 |

3rd 3 (1) |
22nd Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Promise on AW but she looked an improved model switched to turf at Wetherby 19 days ago, picking up well from the back of the field to win a 7f fillies' handicap (good) in decisive fashion; 4lb higher but could still have her best days ahead of her. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
2-4 since returned to turf in April, the latter win gained at Catterick (7f, good for firm) three weeks ago; effectively 6lb higher here if Conor Whiteley's reduced claim is considered but ought to go well again. |
9/2 |

1st 5 (2) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Winner over 7f at Musselburgh in April (good) and sound run back up to 1m there last time (good); below par tried in cheekpieces in between; can be involved. |
9/2 |

3rd 1 (10) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Backed when winning over 7f here in April (good) and first-time cheekpieces perhaps backfired at Doncaster; those aids are now left off but has stamina to prove over this far. |

21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Poor strike-rate (1-30); beaten a neck over 6f at Southwell (Class 6) in February but less productive in three subsequent appearances (6f-7f), although with mitigating circumstances (saddle slipped) latest. |
11/2 |

11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Winless since August 2024 but he comes here in decent nick, fifth of nine in 7f Lingfield handicap 17 days ago; place prospects off an easing mark. |
8/1 |
|
5th 1 (9) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Effective at 6f and 7f but his sole win was in a Carlisle novice in August 2024; went close off this mark at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) last month but was never involved when a remote fourth there last time; that was behind a handicap blot but he needs to step up again after that. |

11th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Just one win from 30 starts but he's struggled here (7f handicap) and at Newcastle (1m classified) in last two runs; passed over. |

7th 2 (3) |
1st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Just one win from his 29 starts but close fourth in handicap at Ayr (7f, good) two starts ago and slow ground may not have suited there subsequently; has run well here in the past and could be involved. |
11/2 |

9th 12 (3) |
21st Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |

Only 1-28 but it was his second run after wind surgery when close up in Spun To Gold's race here last week; soft ground would not be ideal should it get wet. |
14/1 |
