12th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Back from wind surgery with a bang when 5l winner over 1m here (good to soft) in July; unsurprisingly the handicapper didn't miss him but he showed his mark is still workable when 1l fourth of ten in 1m2f Glorious Goodwood handicap at the beginning of August; that race has thrown up winners and he's a must for the shortlist back from a ten-week break, for all that deep ground would be an unknown. |

Secured back-to-back wins at Pontefract (6f) last year, including on good to soft; another with a bit to prove but whose better efforts this season would see him get competitive. |

9st 5lb |
Two 6f wins at Pontefract as 2yo; runner-up over 1m at Doncaster (soft) and York (good to soft), which were easily his best two efforts from five starts this term, but he didn't fire at Southwell last time and this drop back in trip is not sure to suit; others preferred. |

19th Oct 2024 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |

Pretty consistent since cheekpieces have gone on, including winning a Beverley maiden (8.5f) in June; creditable third of six at Sandown (1m) on latest start in August; makes AW debut back from seven weeks off. |

28th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Turf/AW scorer in France; 0-6 in Britain but ran encouragingly (close fifth) in higher grade over C&D last week and has possibilities provided he builds on that effort. |
8/1 |

5th 12 (4) |
22nd Feb 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won twice in France, including on the AW track at Deauville, but he has found the handicapper in command since joining this yard; ran okay here (1m) two weeks ago on his first run since a gelding operation; type to pop up soon. |
33/1 |
|
8th 12 (8) |
7th Feb 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 3 |
8st 4lb |
A fairly useful scorer at up to 1m in France who was largely in good form for his current yard in the summer; resumes from six months off (gelded) but still enters calculations on his first go on Tapeta. |

21st Oct 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Turf winner for a previous yard; 0-8 for current stable and has posted two duck eggs since returned to AW; not the percentage call. |
25/1 |

7th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

3rd Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Just one win to his name from 21 starts; chance on this summer's best efforts but his last two runs have been over 1m1f and 1m2f and he now drops to sprinting; others are safer. |

12th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Consistent dual winner (7f/1m2f) and ran up to his best when second to Glistening Nights at Redcar (1m2f); has each-way claims, though like his latest conqueror, he has yet to prove himself as effective on slower ground. |

3rd Oct 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Chased home a useful sort on debut last August; no progress since and he was well beaten at 100-1 over C&D three weeks ago; headgear off now; not a solid option. |
25/1 |
|
13th 13 (3) |
10th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Three poor runs this summer, latterly in cheekpieces; Oisin Orr, up for three of his five runs, has unsurprisingly opted for stablemate Eminent Jewel. |
