2nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Just two wins (both on soft ground) from his 29 starts but he returned from a break with a close third of six at Ffos Las (5f, good) last Friday, and he could be in the mix off the same, career-low mark. |
9/2 |

3rd 6 (4) |
28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Ran a bit better last time at Bath (good) in June and both his wins have come over 5f on soft ground, so conditions might well turn in his favour with rain around; fairly treated. |
7/1 |

C&D scorer but he's yet to fire in a pair of handicaps over C&D and at Chepstow this season; others appeal more. |

7th Jan 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Well held in his last five runs for Richard Hughes and last of 11 on stable debut here (7f) last month; mark continues to fall but he's now 0-10 and others are preferred; blinkers back on. |

2nd 7 (4) |
11th Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Stepped up significantly on some moderate form in classified events when racing prominently and beaten just a head over C&D (first-time cheekpieces) last week; tongue-tie refitted; likely player if now able to follow up with a similar effort. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 12 (1) |
2nd Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Finished in rear in all five runs, including classified events on Tapeta (5f) and turf (6f) in last two starts; now switches to a handicap and has plenty to prove back on Polytrack; tongue-tie is removed and cheekpieces are now tried. |
20/1 |
|
7th 6 (3) |
30th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has shown very little in four starts, including when last on being dropped into this grade at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) latest. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
The winner of three of his five starts in cheekpieces, including a smooth success at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) on return in March; failed to fire at Epsom (6f, soft; behind Sondad) 11 weeks ago but this stablemate of Evening Saigon shouldn't be passed over lightly. |
14/1 |
|
13th 3 (8) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Well suited by soft/good to soft ground; has a record of 3-4 since wearing cheekpieces, most recently winning at Doncaster (6f) ten weeks ago; respected in the retained headgear, with further progress possible. |
7/2 |
|
1st 2 (4) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Close third behind Dark Thirty in this race 12 months ago; found some progress when cheekpieces were added in October, winning back-to-back handicaps at Pontefract and over C&D (soft; Korker second); perhaps found the heavy ground too much for him when last seen in November; can go well fresh and may find further progress this year; high on the list. |

6th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Ran okay at Salisbury last time (6f handicap) but that was off a modest mark and he's now 0-12; faces no easy task at these weights. |
10/1 |
