3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Third good handicap win of an excellent summer when shading a tight finish in 20-runner event at the York Ebor meeting (6f, good to soft; acts on good to firm); creditable fourth of 24 at the Curragh (6f, yielding) since; below par in two previous attempts over 7f but the way he saw it out when successful over an extended 6f at the Curragh earlier in the year provides hope that this flat 7f should be within range; his form is more than good enough to be highly competitive at Listed level. |

Scurry win (beating Dark Thirty) in July came over slightly further off 98, and most recently recorded seventh career win when landing a big pot at York last month (Coul Angel third) on good-to-soft; still improving 5yo up 16lb this season but has to be respected. |

1st 2 (7) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
His career has been one of steady but consistent progress; won at Epsom (6f, soft) and the Currragh (6.2f, good to firm) this season and ran a sound race in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood, perhaps finding that sharp test on fast ground inadequate; can't call upon course form but the weather has turned in his favour and he has another major handicap in him. |

25th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Four wins from five starts over C&D; when returning from six months off at Southwell this month it was over 6f and under a change of tactics, leaving the impression the run would sharpen him up; big chance back down in class with a talented apprentice booked. |
4/1 |

5th 8 (9) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won four times over 7f on Tapeta at Newcastle in December-March but has fitness to prove after six-month break and may not be ideally suited by this drop back in trip. |

25th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Reliable sort who posted a solid fourth of 13 in 7f Southwell handicap 30 days ago; not ruled out in his bid for a breakthrough success. |
9/2 |

4th 1 (12) |
26th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
0-9 but finished runner-up in his first two career starts at this venue (7f/1m) at the start of the year; an extra furlong may suit him ideally now, but the drop in class and return here make him interesting. |
4/1 |
|
5th 7 (3) |
21st Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Runner-up in his first three starts earlier in the year and filled the same position with a tongue-tie added over C&D a fortnight ago; a stiffer test may suit him ideally, but still one for the shortlist off 1lb higher. |

22nd Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Form dipped last time but generally consistent and may rebound; however, 0-7 since debut win and chance of doubling his tally depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear. |

1st Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win (seven races) was debut last June; ran respectably in his first three handicaps (one on turf, on good ground) and reappeared with a good front-running second over this trip on Wolverhampton AW 13 days ago; same mark today and has a chance if the form is repeated. |

Half-sister to a useful sprinter but well beaten on both starts, the first last May and the latest at Ripon on Saturday; hard to fancy. |
