25th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
8st 4lb |
Looked a fair prospect when winning both handicap starts in June but didn't improve for the step up to 1m2f turned out quickly last time; drop back in distance should help and no surprise to see him go well, despite going up in grade. |

1st Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Justified favouritism at Bath (1m, good) on handicap/seasonal debut and at this track (1m, good to firm) eight days later; came from off the pace on both occasions, leaving it late last time, and there's clear scope for further improvement with this step up in trip; has 6lb penalty but good chance to complete a quick hat-trick. |

15th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Seen only four times this year, with best run his close second of six in modest race at Carlisle (7f, good to soft) two starts ago; sports refitted tongue-tie/cheekpieces; others have more pressing claims. |

31st Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |

Ran best race this year when second at Carlisle last time (7f, good to soft); could go well, but ideally suited by some give in the ground and perhaps better at 7f. |

Now 10lb lower than when winning over Haydock's 7f last July and took a step back in the right direction when fifth at Leicester (7f, good to firm) latest; he has soft-ground form if going back far enough. |

16th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Mostly respectable form in 1m handicaps this season and it was a muddling Class 4 over 1m3f in which he couldn't get seriously involved at Kempton 12 days ago; 1m2f might be ideal; respected. |

27th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Has won here twice already this month, taking his course record to 112311; all those races were over the extended 1m, so this race asks a slightly different question but he grabbed control well over 1f out last time, is back in career-best form and highly respected. |

12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |

Prevailed by half a length last week, taking C&D record to 11231; successful in this race for the last two years and commands respect, even under a 4lb penalty, kept to his ideal scenario. |
4/1 |

1st 1 (14) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Acts on good to firm and soft ground; overall record of 3-38 but his last two wins have come over C&D and he returned to form with a front-running third here 11 days ago; remains well handicapped off 2lb lower than for his last success and he could make another bold bid. |

12th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
In good form this spring, winning at Thirsk (1m, good) and over C&D (good to firm) last month; front pair were 6l clear that day and if he can maintain that level of form he'd still look well treated despite a 5lb rise. |

17th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Last of four wins on turf came in August 2021 but he's been in good order on AW recently, winning at Southwell (1m3f) in March; not sure that the drop back in trip will suit on this return to turf. |

2nd 8 (3) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Kept on well to score over C&D (16-1; from 3lb lower) five weeks ago; that came as a bit of a surprise, only his second win since August 2021, but the form was given a boost with the third (Moon Over The Sea) winning at Bath on Monday; needs considering. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Three of his four wins have come over C&D, including in this race 12 months ago; 1lb lower than for his last win and he should be at concert pitch with two runs under his belt; one for the shortlist. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

His last three wins have come over 1m at Pontefract but he finished down the field at that track on his recent return to action; that run could have sharpened him up and he is on a winning mark; not ruled out. |

13th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |

Promise in two novice events at around 1m on soft/heavy as a 2yo; was then absent for 570 days and has finished well beaten on both outings since (7f, 1m, tailed off on good to firm last time); should do better back on easier ground; up markedly in trip. |

Placed in both starts in 2022; missed 2023 and seemed to need his reappearance run eight weeks ago; forecast faster ground is an unknown on handicap debut (raced only on soft/heavy). |
