15th Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Won two of his first four races, the handicap over Chester's extended 7f on good to soft; raced freely back there last month after a break and can improve on that form. |

12th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Made a pleasing start to his career when winning a Doncaster maiden (7f, good to soft; 7-2) in May, but only fourth under a penalty at Wetherby next time and has since bombed out (last of six) on fast ground at Newmarket (1m; on handicap debut); questions to answer. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Three course wins in the first half of the year, the latest (6f, good) off a 3lb lower mark; his form has dipped on his last two starts but a revival wouldn't be a great surprise. |

7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |

Three wins at Catterick this spring (7f/6f, good); reportedly never travelling when below par there at the end of May and has had a break since; runner-up here in 2024 on sole previous Haydock visit; not ruled out. |

13th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |

Ended a losing run in 7f AW Lingfield handicap eight days ago; had a bit up his sleeve there so is very much one to consider under a 4lb penalty. |

5th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Acts well over C&D but hasn't been back here since impressive win in 2023; on a handy mark and of interest after a good Leicester run in May, with Oisin Murphy a rare booking for the yard (0-1 in last five years). |

7th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Came from the rear to win on his handicap/stable debut at Chester (7.5f, good) in June and has suffered trouble in running both starts since; this 3yo retains potential and could play a leading role if getting the breaks. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Failed to settle and proved disappointing last time when bidding for AW hat-trick; effective in this sphere and may rebound, especially if the ground is optimal; has gained most turf wins on soft. |
10/1 |
|
8th 1 (1) |
19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Back to something approaching his best this summer, winning handicaps at Newcastle (1m) and here (7f) on his last two starts; well drawn to attack but a 5lb penalty could scupper his hat-trick bid. |
7/2 |

1st 5 (11) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Added to his five turf wins when making all to beat 13 rivals at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) in June; 5lb higher from wide draw here but he still looks on a workable mark and is lightly raced on AW; respected back in trip. |

25th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Completed a double off 4lb higher at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last June but he's been well held in three runs this season; seems versatile regarding ground and tactics but he needs to rediscover his spark. |
16/1 |

3rd 3 (8) |
7th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
At his best this time last year and is now 2lb lower than when last successful; well held in two runs back this spring, however, and didn't shine in two previous starts here, so has a bit to prove back from six weeks off. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 15y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Two wins over 1m2f at Ripon this year (good/good to soft) and a good second to Salamanca City (with whom he is 4lb better off) when stepped up to 1m4f there last time (good); won over 1m2f last September on only previous start here; interesting. |
10/1 |

2nd 1 (4) |
18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Down the field at York and Windsor on his last two starts but he's won on his last four visits to Ripon (1m2f, good/good to soft), including twice this year; it's surprising he's only ever had one crack at 1m4f, given how well he kept on over that trip in 2024; firmly in calculations back here. |
11/2 |
|
6th 3 (2) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Most likeable front runner who bagged a second win of 2026 in 1m2f Ripon handicap in May; unable to lead from a poor draw when 11th at York (1m2f) 15 days ago and remains very much one to consider. |
