3rd 17 (15) |
28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Gained a deserved first success of 2026 in 20-runner handicap at Ripon (6f) 13 days ago; not out of things despite a 5lb weights rise. |

1st 7 (10) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Better known for his exploits over further but he ran well for second in a C&D handicap last August; several good runs in defeat this year but this looks a competitive race in which to end a two-year drought. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Without a win since August 2024 but he's been in good form since this visor went on, bumping into an unexposed 3yo when second of four at Catterick (7f, good to firm) and again finishing runner-up at Chester (7.5f, good) last time; in each-way calculations once more. |

8st 4lb |
Record of 11137 since switched to this C&D, latest effort best forgiven (race wasn't run to suit); this hold-up mare could prove dangerous, provided the pace fractions are back in her favour. |

Conditions to suit and he is back to the same mark off which he beat Captain Parma here in October; not at his best at Southwell last week but he is the type to bounce back quickly. |

22nd Dec 2024 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Made a winning reappearance in a maiden over C&D in May and added a narrow success in a handicap at Newbury (7f, good to firm) in July; looked a non-stayer at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) last time, but worth a second look back at this trip after a short break. |

4th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
0-5 on turf but ran respectably over C&D nine days ago and ties in with Red Maids on that effort; still well treated on best AW form, though has a long losing sequence to quell (no success since early 2023). |
8/1 |

4th 5 (12) |
25th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Well treated on best AW form but her losing run is mounting up and this belated return to grass presents a question mark; her turf record (four attempts) is far from solid. |
16/1 |

16th Jun 2024 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Five good runs over 7f on AW this year and all four wins have been on an artificial surface; modest form on turf, on last run, which was back in June 2022, finishing 9l seventh of eight at Chester (7f, good); best watched. |

13th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Failed to beat a rival in three starts for this yard and hopes pinned on return to AW sparking something back over further; tongue-tie retained, visor replaces cheekpieces. |
25/1 |

10th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Won on handicap debut at Lingfield (7f, AW) last April but he's generally struggled since and was tailed off at Brighton when last seen in May; now 13lb lower than for his win but he needs a big turnaround after wind surgery. |
20/1 |

21st May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole success came on handicap debut on Lingfield AW in April last year when trained by Andrew Balding; form tailed off subsequently and sold for 8,000gns in October; inauspicious seasonal/stable debut when last of five over C&D 13 days ago; first-time tongue-tie now applied alongside usual cheekpieces; hard to fancy. |

9st 3lb |
Has claims on a narrow C&D win in November and a close second at Lingfield in December, but he finished behind several of these when only eighth of 11 at Wolverhampton (100-30 favourite) on Boxing Day; needs to bounce back. |
