21st Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 5f 26y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Two wins and a close second from his first three races last term, all at about 1m4f on good; disappointing in three good handicaps since, although last month's Newmarket reappearance may have been needed; the yard also runs Westerton. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Never dangerous in this race last year on his only visit to Epsom; however, he's scored twice at Chester (which has similarities to this track) and that includes over 1m4f last Saturday when his head was in front where it matters for the first time in 22 months; back up 2lb but still 5lb below his peak mark and soft ground should not be a problem; in the mix. |

31st May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Some creditable efforts on AW this winter; never involved when eighth of 14 over the extended 1m2f here (good) 23 days ago but it was no bad run and he's dropped to 2lb below the mark he defied over C&D (soft) in summer 2023; no surprise were he to bounce back to form with a bang. |

24th May 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Did well at 1m4f-2m last spring/summer, including here, and back from 198 days off with creditable fourth at Newcastle 13 days ago; several stablemates have surged back to winning form recently and, having been 22-1 for that latest start, he too could be set to make a serious impact. |

Did well over 1m4f+ last spring/summer and made a promising hurdling debut in October when last seen; acts on Tapeta but career-high mark probably demands further improvement. |

5th Oct 2024 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Consistent 4yo who kept on well for third in quite valuable Racing League handicap here (1m3f) in August; nudged up 2lb to career-high mark since but useful 3lb claimer Kaiya Fraser is enlisted; probably won't be far away. |
4/1 |

3rd 2 (6) |
29th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 3 |

10th Aug 2024 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Sole run on ground firmer than good was last June; off the mark at sixth attempt that season and solid efforts in handicaps this term, including a close call over 1m2f at Newbury (good) and clashes with The Goat over 1m4f on Kempton AW both starts since (won first of them); has to be considered. |

5th Oct 2024 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Clearcut winner at Kempton (1m4f, AW) in July and placed in valuable Lanark Silver Bell at Hamilton (1m4f, heavy) since but this season's record is very mixed and he was never dangerous in first-time cheekpieces (retained) last month; not an easy one to predict. |
8/1 |

9th 6 (15) |
7th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 6f 1y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Has an inconsistent profile but with easily his two best turf efforts having been delivered in the mud, including when third at Hamilton (1m4f) 15 days ago; stayed on late that day but underperformed in all four appearances at about 1m6f; connections reach for headgear. |
11/1 |

23rd Aug 2024 Soft 1m 4f 15y Class 2 |

In-and-out profile and well beaten at Ascot last time, but the good ground may not have suited (sole turf win was on soft going); in good form on AW earlier this summer and he's not ruled out. |

17th Aug 2024 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Progressive during last season's first campaign and she'll be a player if tapping into that promise; in top hands and every chance she'll get back on track at some stage, but she hasn't really shone on either run this term. |

10th Aug 2024 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Useful sort at up to 1m6f in her first season last year; may have more to offer this term and came from a detached last when seventh of 13 at 16-1 in Listed race at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) on reappearance three weeks ago; that was encouraging. |

Three 1m2f wins this year, including Tapeta, but short of his best in two runs since his last-gasp Pontefract win in September; has form over this trip but might find others more suited to 1m4f. |

C&D winner in 2021 and did very well for this yard over 1m4f-2m at Chester and York (touched off in the 1m6f Ebor) in summer 2022 before pulled up lame that September; dropped 5lb in his absence but has questions to answer on this reappearance. |
