Completed a hat-trick of wins in this race a year ago (good to firm; 2lb lower mark); not in such good form this season and probably best watched for now. |

30th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |

Both wins over 1m on AW, the latest in September; has mostly had stamina limitations over 1m2f, as on this course last time, but he wasn't far away at Beverley (about 1m, good to firm) the time before and his AW form with Wheres The Crumpet in October puts him in the vicinity. |

8st 12lb |
Only six runners when he ran away with a classified at Ffos Las (1m, heavy) in August, breaking his duck at the 12th attempt; third in two handicaps since, with a creditable show at Leicester (7f, heavy) latterly but he was no match for winner Temper Trap. |

Only six runners when he ran away with a classified at Ffos Las (1m, heavy) in August, breaking his duck at the 12th attempt; respectable third in a handicap (1m, good) next time and he has to be given a second look if it's heavy ground again. |

15th Sep 2024 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |

Perhaps coped best with the testing ground when running away with a 1m classified at Ffos Las (third run visored); back up 4lb now returned to a handicap but has been competitive off this sort of figure (on this faster ground); 1m2f shouldn't be a problem; chance. |

3-36; back to winning ways, clinging on in a similar C&D apprentices' handicap (0-65) on Saturday; the promising Conor Whiteley retains the ride, and she'll be a threat to all if taking her chance again 48 hours on from that success. |

Three 1m wins last season and latest was off 7lb higher at Yarmouth; no joy in 2024, but he perked up with an eyecatching third in classified event at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) two weeks ago and has claims if he can build on that. |
