25th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up at Brighton (1m4f, soft) last September but he's been out of sorts under both codes since including a remote fifth over hurdles at Plumpton last week; blinkers now return but he's 1-30 on AW and has plenty to prove back on the Flat. |

16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Modest Flat handicapper; tailed off all three starts over hurdles, the latest in a C&D maiden (good; 250-1) last November; only eighth of ten at Southwell (1m3f AW) in January; handicap hurdle debut. |

Four-time Flat winner, most recently off lowly mark at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm) this summer, but always behind on recent hurdling debut at Fontwell (2m1f, good). |

7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
2-36 with one of his wins coming here (1m2f, good to firm) in August last year, the other at Lingfield (11.6f, good to firm) in June; placed five times from six starts over C&D this year, but below form on soft the last twice; could do with the ground drying out, but considered if it does. |

15th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Got back on the scoresheet with an emphatic win in classified event at Lingfield (11.6f) in June; ran to similar level when runner-up over C&D last month but his form has nosedived in last two runs; now drops back in grade but has a bit to prove again and he's a frequent slow starter. |
14/1 |

11th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Used to be a notorious slow starter but he's been a bit better in that department since the summer and it was a solid effort in this headgear combination when second of five at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago; stayed on from the rear when third in an amateur riders' race over that C&D 12 days later; this is a notch above the standard he regularly contests, though. |

26th Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Kept on for third in recent selling handicap at Lingfield (11.6f, good; behind Velvet Vulcan), making the frame in his fourth consecutive Flat race, but career strike-rate now stands at 0-31. |

8th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 133y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
0-24 on the Flat but he wasn't running badly in this sphere prior to finishing tailed off over hurdles three weeks ago; not ruled out from this career-low mark with Oisin Murphy taking over. |
4/1 |

17th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
0-24 on the Flat and 0-5 over hurdles; not seen over jumps since 38l defeat in 2m2f handicap here in October and his tendency to race too freely is always a worry. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
A fair 1m4f scorer for James Owen last March but below par for his current stable, a never-dangerous fourth of seven on his return in 1m1f Musselburgh handicap 34 days ago; needs to take a big step forward. |
25/1 |

29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Respectable fifth on AW last June on his first start for Alison Hamilton but lost his way badly in three subsequent outings; back from six months off and a leap of faith is needed. |

30th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Four-time AW winner; ran okay when fifth of 12 over this C&D in June but he failed to beat a rival home at Hamilton (1m5f, good; beaten 24l) 75 days ago; switches back to AW and drops in trip having been off since. |

0-12 in Ireland and 0-6 in Britain; some renewed hope from latest start (Wolverhampton 9.4f) but that's hardly convincing. |

27th Jan 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

1-26 under all codes, the win gained off a basement Flat mark just under a year ago; well beaten over hurdles, fences and on the Flat in recent months, and difficult to enthuse over at present. |

1st Jul 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Won on the Flat at Bath last September; in the frame in four of his handicaps over hurdles in November-April last term but less encouraging recently and always behind on chasing debut at Market Rasen (2m3f, good; 28-1) ten days ago; best watched. |

10yo whose last win came in a classified at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) over a year ago; has struggled since and, while he wasn't beaten far when sixth of seven at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) 20 days ago, others are preferred. |
