3rd 4 (4) |
19th Oct 2024 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Front-runner; completed hat-trick in 1m handicaps in the summer, and ran creditably again when fourth of eight over 1m2f at Sandown last month; just as effective on AW; should give another good account of himself. |
9/2 |

4th 2 (2) |
18th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Front-runner; completed a hat-trick in 1m handicaps this summer, the last leg at this track; disappointing at Haydock next time but better than ever when beaten a head at Southwell (1m, AW) 16 days later; all his improvement has been at 1m, having tried 1m2f twice in the spring before he was tongue tied, so this step back up in trip asks the key question. |
4/1 |

2nd 2 (9) |
26th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Completed a hat-trick in 1m handicaps this summer but he came up short in his bid for a four-timer at Haydock 16 days ago; promise in one C&D run in March; another career best required to win. |

Showed ability for Andrew Balding but sold cheaply in October 2024 and hasn't been seen since; best watched on stable debut. |
33/1 |

13th 8 (3) |
1st Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
A mixed bag so far, going close at Chelmsford (7f, AW) in June and Sandown (1m, good to firm; first-time visor) the following month, but hasn't threatened in his other six starts; enough to prove especially in the conditions. |
14/1 |

9th 11 (11) |
10th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Twice beaten half a length this summer, at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack) in June and at Sandown (1m, good to firm) in July; a player on those efforts, but he reportedly bled at Kempton last month which would be a concern. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Both wins have been on AW; raced too freely on return to action when sixth of seven over C&D (good to firm) two weeks ago and needs to settle better to give himself a chance. |
7/1 |
|
6th 2 (7) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Pulled up on hurdle debut when last seen but he's a dual AW winner who is well handicapped on his second at Doncaster (1m, good) last summer; has run well when fresh in the past and he needs watching in market on reappearance; refused to enter stalls in last intended start. |
11/2 |

2nd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Both wins have been on AW, latest over C&D off 4lb higher in March; ran best race since when 3l second to a well-backed subsequent winner at Kempton last week (7f; blinkers on for second time); headgear retained; chance. |

10st 5lb |
Sole win from 19 starts came on turf at Epsom (7f fillies' maiden) in August 2023; more miss than hit since joining Gemma Tutty (0-4), although there was a slight glimmer at Wolverhampton (7f; third) in November; blinkers make a return and that potentially offers hope. |

Sole win was in an Epsom maiden 16 months ago and she was never involved over 8.6f here (seventh of 11) last time; cheekpieces are now added but she's been in and out this year and her tactical speed will be tested back at this trip; others are more convincing. |

31st Jul 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
2-5 in handicaps for new stable this season, the latter win gained in first-time cheekpieces at Ffos Las (1m, good) last month; ought to have been suited by the good to soft ground when only fourth of five there three weeks ago, though, and now has a point to prove. |
10/1 |
|
4th 4 (5) |
10th Jul 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Well held in three runs for the Gosdens but she's been progressive for her current yard and made it 2-4 in handicaps when scoring over C&D (good; cheekpieces added) two weeks ago; a 5lb rise for that comfortable success looks fair and this well-bred filly could continue on the upgrade; big player. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
His only win since 2023 came in a classified at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) in January; has made the frame in four of his last five starts and holds place claims. |
10/1 |

4th 7 (2) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Ended long losing spell when holding on by a nose in C&D classified in January and has made the frame here (1m, AW/1m1f, turf) on his last two appearances; likely contender. |
5/1 |

3rd 4 (3) |
4th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Will be happier back up from 1m after a better effort on the AW here three weeks ago; more than capable off this mark but has only won one of his last 32 starts, with plenty of short-priced defeats to his name during that time. |

4th Mar 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Two creditable shows in midwinter, including over C&D, but his sole win was back in 2023 and he ran no sort of race on this track in January; needs to shrug that off. |

8th 9 (4) |
14th Jan 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |

It's now 19 outings since his last victory but he wasn't discredited when fourth of ten in 1m Southwell handicap 11 days ago; possibilities. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 4 |

Running well this year, including a 1m2f win at Windsor (good to firm), but he wouldn't look to have much in hand off his mark; more minor money perhaps his best hope. |

10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Scored over C&D (good to firm) in June and was close third off today's mark at Epsom (1m2f, good) last month; needs to bounce back from a lesser effort a fortnight later but still enters calculations. |

Spent last year in France; fine record here, including two wins in summer 2024 and a third off this mark in a blanket finish two weeks ago; the latter followed a Windsor win (1m2f, win); looks set for another big run. |

24th Jul 2024 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

Runner-up in Beverley novice last September and he's dropping down the weights after failing to make much impact this season; his sole AW run (final 2yo start) was worse; some recent headgear but none today and he is upped in trip. |

Last of five on seasonal/handicap/turf debut at Doncaster (1m, soft) three weeks ago but remains very unexposed and today's much faster ground could quite plausibly show him in a much better light. |
