5th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Won two in a row at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) in August but he's been well held in last two runs including when last of five at Newmarket (1m, soft) last week; has quite a bit to prove again and others are preferred. |
9/1 |

27th Sep 2024 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Consistent turf form this year includes two wins at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) in August; better than bare result (hampered) last time; however, faces a stiffer assignment back up in grade. |

31st Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 4 |

Two Pontefract wins this month and he turned in another solid effort when third at Redcar last week; effective over C&D and should make another bold bid. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
He was gaining his first win away from Hamilton when landing a C&D handicap last October off a 2lb lower mark; promising return to action at his beloved Hamilton 19 days ago; that should have blown away any cobwebs and he rates a strong contender for a yard who could be hitting top gear judged on recent results. |
9/2 |

3rd 4 (2) |
3rd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
One of his seven wins here came in this race two seasons ago; had the benefit of a run that year and record after this sort of break isn't overly encouraging; however, his course record is too good to ignore, he's on a competitive mark and goes on all ground. |
7/2 |

Prevailed by a neck at Pontefract (1m, soft) last week, making it three wins from his last four starts and recording first success away from Hamilton; only 3lb higher even with another penalty; respected in current form. |

C&D winner but it has been over four years since she last put her head in front; retained ability last summer but she has been absent for 366 days and others look safer. |

2nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 6 |

Some creditable efforts this season, including when fourth at Pontefract (1m2f, good) in June, but she was disappointing over C&D last time; bit to prove again after that and five of her six wins have come at Beverley; cheekpieces added. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Acts on good to soft but soft would be a worry; tricky to settle and is held up in rear; won the Cesarewitch at Newmarket (2m2f; 10lb higher today) last October and he's looked just as good on most starts since, without winning but late traffic woes seemingly prevented him from going close last time; without his usual jockey Billy Loughnane today but he was a close second last term under Clifford Lee; probably involved if he can get the breaks. |

Tricky to settle and is held up in rear; won the Cesarewitch at Newmarket (2m2f, good to firm; 9lb higher today) last October and had some very solid AW form over 1m2f-2m this year; back to near his best when eighth of 20 at Royal Ascot (2m4f) but he needs to hit a new high if he's to win this. |

23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |

6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Three wins on turf (good/soft) since May and he may well have had a fourth here last month but for meeting trouble; last week's fourth of 13 in a Racing League event at Southwell (1m) shows he's still in form; considered. |

2nd Oct 2024 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Placed twice over 1m since joining Gemma Tutty in the spring and probably wasn't suited by the drop to 7f when sixth in Class 4 handicap on latest outing; eased significantly in grade for this first venture beyond 1m and ought to pose a significant threat. |

9st 4lb |
Campaigned only over 7f-1m; justified favouritism at Newcastle (AW) on seasonal debut, registering a first win since joining current yard; back up 5lb but remains well treated on peak form and he's 2-3 at Pontefract; should remain competitive, provided he stays the new trip. |

Had the run of things up front when beating four rivals at Beverley (1m4f, good) and only sixth since then over 2m and 1m6f; this is probably a better trip but he's not the easiest to predict. |
20/1 |

28th Jun 2025 Good 1m 5f 188y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Allowed to dictate when winning a five-runner race at Beverley (1m4f) in May; ran respectably over 1m6f the time before but weakened out of it off this 4lb higher mark over 2m on latest; back to 1m6f but others are a little more persuasive. |

No problem with 1m4f but is still to totally prove his stamina over this far; was allowed to dictate when beating a small field last time and a 4lb rise puts him on a career-high mark. |

Began season with emphatic handicap win at Pontefract (1m, good) in May but not much has gone to plan for him since and he was well beaten when returned to Pontefract in August; in calmer waters here but it still takes a leap of faith to support him. |
