21st Mar 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |

Lacklustre effort at Lingfield (1m) three weeks ago but his earlier C&D third came in a red-hot handicap and a reproduction would give him strong claims. |

28th Feb 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 2 |

Strong form at 6f/7f and his third at Southwell two weeks ago was perfectly respectable; unplaced in both 1m runs but leaves the impression he'll stay it around here; others preferred for win purposes all the same. |

Won twice over 6f on the AW last winter including here; just 1lb higher than when beating 17 rivals at Glorious Goodwood (7f, good to firm) last summer, but will need to settle better than when last of seven at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) last month (Apiarist second). |

Series of good runs in competitive handicaps this year, including a second at Royal Ascot and third in the Stewards' Cup; last time can be ignored (bad draw) and he's one to consider. |
11/1 |

16th 8 (15) |
24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Improving with experience and banging the door down in top handicaps this summer, runner-up at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm) and placed twice at Glorious Goodwood, notably when third in the Stewards' Cup (cheekpieces first time; best of those drawn low and held up); 1lb rise for that effort seems fair and he has a good prize in him; not always foot perfect at the start though and this track, with its emphasis on speed, may not suit him ideally. |

4/1 |

1st 1 (2) |
19th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
On a losing run since three wins at 1m and 7f last spring, two on soft; has a patchy record this season but he's dropped down the weights and his latest second at Goodwood was an eyecatching effort on heavy ground; has claims if he can back that up and he's in the mix back in trip. |

2nd 2 (1) |

On a losing run since three wins at 1m and 7f last spring, two on soft, but with the odd exception, including on this track, he hasn't seemed quite the same force in 2024; needs turnaround on recent efforts. |

Unraced on soft/heavy; off the mark in novice event here a year ago; progressive form in 7f handicaps of late, recording two clearcut wins then running well at Glorious Goodwood (only 2l behind Blue Prince) and York Ebor festival (close third); strong contender in current fettle. |
7/1 |

3rd 9 (6) |
22nd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Easy winner of less competitive 7f races at Chepstow and Epsom in July and although raised 12lb she gave it a very good shot from off the pace from a high draw against the older handicappers at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) 22 days ago; can be bang there against her own sex. |
8/1 |

4th 19 (19) |

Easily won a handicap for apprentices at Chepstow (7f, good to soft) and had no bother in following up at Epsom after escaping a penalty; 12lb higher for this rise in grade but she's a filly with the wind in her sails. |

9th 9 (7) |
4th Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
He's had a mixed campaign and was soundly beaten at Haydock (6f, soft) last Saturday; however, he's just 1lb higher than when winning at Thirsk (6f, good to soft) in May and is also fine on soft/heavy; not discounted. |

7th 1 (4) |
28th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Suited by good to soft and slower; very capable on his day, justifying a strong market move when winning the highly competitive Ayr Silver Cup last autumn and another smart effort at Thirsk (both 6f on good to soft) in May; just 1lb higher than the latter and he'll be suited by the return to a slow surface; non-runner at Haydock yesterday. |

0-6 since debut win but ran respectably in Glorious Goodwood handicap on debut for current yard and soft ground was a possible excuse since; possibilities off reduced mark, provided he takes well to first-time headgear and AW surface. |

24th Aug 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
0-5 for three different trainers since his successful debut last season (7f, good to firm); wasn't disgraced when seventh in a big field at Glorious Goodwood last time but will need a personal best to return to winning ways; perhaps this drop to sprint distances will have a positive effect. |

Had been highly tried after his successful debut last season (7f, good to firm) but he failed to make a telling impression on handicap debut at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) five weeks ago for Ollie Sangster; now with Wathnan following a 45,000gns sale three weeks ago but he needs to step up. |

Returned in July from ten months off and has run well in his last three starts, third of nine at Sandown (7f, soft) last time, but he has managed to win only one of his last 25 starts and is still 5lb higher; addition of a tongue-tie needs to make a difference. |

Shaped well on reappearance (found trouble) and bang there in his subsequent races, over 1m at Newmarket and C&D 13 days ago (first-time cheekpieces); hard to offer any excuses on either occasion and, now 3-31, he's looking a hard horse to catch right. |

Won four of his five races as a 2yo, all over 6f; this year's form-figures are less flattering, although 1m probably stretched him in the Britannia and he was forced wide from a high draw at Glorious Goodwood last time; beginning to fall in the weights and not written off. |

31st Jul 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Won four of his five starts as a 2yo when confined to about 6f; would have been stretched by the 1m of the Britannia at Royal Ascot, not that he had been entirely convincing in his two previous runs over 7f; often leads and could be a sitting duck when it matters, and that's if he can get to the front from stall 17. |

Won four of his five starts as a 2yo, the highlights being a valuable sales race at York (good to firm) and Redcar's Two-Year-Old Trophy (good); all that was at about 6f and he's not convinced over 7f this season on the switch to handicaps; has even further to go this time. |
