17th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Won over C&D last July and has been runner-up on his last two starts, most recently at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) last Thursday; no match for the winner last time but still entitled to respect today. |

Consistent efforts over 1m4f of late; has registered all wins at 1m2f, the most recent by narrow margin off this mark in this contest 12 months ago; solid claims. |

25th Jun 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won at Sandown (1m2f, soft) in September and remained in good form on slow turf until end of last season; never competitive on return at Chelmsford (1m6f, AW) this month but might have needed that first run in 207 days; ran respectably as a juvenile on his sole start here, his only other AW race. |

1st Jun 2025 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Scored at Sandown (1m2f, soft) in September and remained in good form on slow turf until end of last season; could have untapped potential over staying trips this year but this is his first AW run since 2023 and his fitness must be taken on trust. |

20th Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Nursery winner over 7f on soft; placed in first two handicaps since sent beyond 1m but only fourth at Chester last month when tried in cheekpieces (retained); will probably come up short on AW debut. |
8/1 |

4th 7 (5) |
27th Jul 2024 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
8st 8lb |
Nursery winner over 7f on soft; second and third in his two handicaps since sent beyond a mile and the winners of both those races were in form; has the benefit of Jack Doughty's claim and cheekpieces are added; player. |
8/1 |

3rd 5 (7) |
11th Jul 2024 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Nursery winner over 7f on soft; first run beyond 1m when bumping into a progressive one (successful since) at Chester (1m2f, good) and he saw that race out well; needs a second look off the same mark. |

9st 3lb |
Often front-runs; seven-time winner on turf whose sole AW success came back in 2017; may have needed his first start for 251 days when down the field here three weeks ago but still has something to find. |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Belatedly regained the winning thread at Brighton (1m, good) last month and the form has been boosted by the subsequent wins of the second/fourth; back up only 3lb and likely to remain competitive. |
7/2 |

30th May 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Made a winning handicap and stable debut at Bath in April 2023 (1m, soft); repeated that form a few times since without adding to his tally, but it was a solid effort when third at Chepstow (1m, good) on his recent return; that was a career-low mark and he's down another 1lb; not ruled out. |

Off the mark at the eighth attempt in a 1m4f handicap at Wolverhampton (AW) last November but didn't shape with obvious short-term encouragement on his Newbury reappearance in July. |

11th Jul 2024 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Off the mark at the eighth attempt in a 1m4f handicap at Wolverhampton last November, which was last-gasp stuff; only fifth next time at Kempton with no excuses; lacks a recent run and the yard is struggling for winners. |

11-race maiden who was runner-up twice on AW last September, latterly over 1m here; not proven over 7f (last tried it on penultimate start) and below-form favourite over the Wolverhampton 8.6f on latest outing, which sees headgear enlisted today. |

Nosed ahead in the final strides to beat Down To The Kid in C&D event three weeks ago, taking record at Southwell to 3-5 and strike-rate under Hector Crouch to 5-8; with those stats he's one for the shortlist. |
