20th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Raised 10lb for back-to-back wins at Ffos Las (6f/5f; soft) and only narrowly denied his hat-trick last week (5f, good to soft) by Rambuso Creek who should run well in division one; solid chance. |
100/30 |

2nd 2 (12) |
14th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Back to winning ways when beating Son Of Astar at Ffos Las (6f, soft) last month and made short work of following up back at Ffos Las (5f, soft) six days later; this race is more competitive but he is clearly in top form. |

10st 0lb |
Close third here (5f) before an excusable defeat at Bath, then came home best on soft ground here last week (6f); penalised after that win but looks sure to give his running once more. |

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. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Six wins at 6f on good to soft and soft; finished his race off on the front foot at York's Ebor meeting, on first start for 11 weeks, and this mark shouldn't be beyond him; the more rain the better for him and he's an interesting contender. |
9/1 |
|
7th 6 (1) |
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. |

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 |
