5th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Sprint handicapper with a useful strike-rate, and his Pontefract win (5f, good) in April was his fourth from just 11 attempts; stretched by 7f at Newmarket when last seen seven weeks ago; rain won't hurt and his rider takes off a handy 3lb. |

9th Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Prominent racer; ran well for second at Epsom in July (6f, good to soft); less convincing in his three starts since, albeit latest run on heavy is easy to excuse; risky but not impossible that this first taste of a Class 5 handicap will prompt a revival. |
16/1 |

25th Sep 2024 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Prominent racer; ran well for second at Epsom in July (6f, good to soft); less convincing in his two starts since and plenty to prove on this ground; cheekpieces now tried. |
20/1 |
|
8th 2 (4) |
9th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Made a bold bid when runner-up off a reduced mark at Epsom (6f, good to soft) last month but he failed to beat a rival in a big field at Windsor (behind Supreme King) last time; has something to prove again after that and his last win was over two years ago. |

2-2 at Ascot, winning the same Class 4 event in May in 2024 and 2025 (stable debut); handicapper may now have caught up. |

1st Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Had a hot spell this spring, winning three fast-ground handicaps at Wetherby, Brighton and Ascot (stable debut); only sixth at Newmarket two weeks ago, however, and needs another step forward to defy this mark. |

28th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Two 7f wins on Chelmsford AW in September but he's had a slow time of it since back from a break and hasn't looked ready to take advantage of a favourable mark; first time he's raced without any aids. |
16/1 |
|
10 (1) |
14th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Has done his racing over 6f-7f since coming over from Hong Kong and has stamina to prove round here; switches from the usual blinkers to cheekpieces after a few lacklustre efforts of late. |
33/1 |
|
10th 6 (10) |
30th May 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won twice over this trip at Chelmsford last September and he's now 2lb lower than for the second of the wins; drawn wide when failing to fire at Chelmsford on Good Friday; has his first 7f turf run for these connections and no surprise were he to give a good account. |

23rd May 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 5lb |
Has bits of respectable 7f form; however, has done all his winning at 6f and strike-rate since 2021 has been poor; those facts suggest he's set for a supporting role. |

9th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Couple of sprint wins (turf/AW) for previous stable; has form figures of 244 (over 5f) this season for new yard, close fourth at Beverley most recently; solid chance off 1lb lower returned to 6f. |
9/2 |
|
4th 3 (6) |
13th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Dual sprint winner (AW/turf) for previous yard; couple of encouraging efforts this season for new stable, keeping-on fourth in higher grade over C&D (good) latest; enters the reckoning. |

10th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Four-time AW winner who made the breakthrough on grass over shorter at Bath; surprising to see him outpaced before staying on at Windsor (6f, good to firm); in reasonable form and can run well. |
10/1 |
|
5th 5 (1) |
23rd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Four-time AW winner, who made his breakthrough on turf when scoring on stable debut at Bath (5.7f, firm) last month; up 7lb but he justified support with that comfortable success and is still lightly raced in this sphere; big player back up in trip. |
3/1 |
|
5 (7) |
23rd May 2025 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Generally kept to the AW (three-time Chelmsford winner) by Stuart Williams, from whom he was picked up for 12,000gns recently; has a lower mark on turf but for a reason and has a bit to prove without the usual tongue-tie. |
6/1 |
