15th Jan 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Switched to front-running the last twice, winning a novice event at Wolverhampton (easy task) then disappointing in C&D handicap; widest draw is not ideal if same tactics are attempted. |

Not disgraced in major 7f handicap at Ascot on penultimate start but is still seeking a first win above Class 3 and his ceiling is well established; moved out of David O'Meara's yard since last run. |

All three wins at 7f including at Doncaster (good to firm) in June; has remained in form but he's drawn wide and may not be quite so effective over 1m. |

Front-runner who's landed a handy draw back from a short break; remains on a competitive mark, having returned to form latterly, but he stays 1m well and today's easy 7f looks a bare minimum. |

C&D winner off 1lb lower last July (good); best run this term when runner-up to a subsequent winner at Beverley last time (7.5f, good to firm; fifth has also won since); solid chance. |

Made a winning start for this stable in 7f Yarmouth handicap last summer but hasn't come close to the same level in her three turf outings this year; down the field in four previous AW outings. |

21st Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Impressive on her stable debut at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) last August; two low-key runs (6f/1m) after ten months off; edging back down the weights but need to see a bit more before getting involved. |

21st Nov 2024 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
All three starts over 7f on Tapeta, showing some promise in his only outing at two but, having been gelded, showing little in two starts since returning in August; open to improvement now handicapping over further and worth a market check. |

17th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Some promise when fifth of 12 over C&D last October, but after having been gelded he was beaten further at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) last month (just behind Sky Lagoon); has run green in both starts so may have more to offer, but he may be one for handicaps after this. |

He won here (1m4f, good) in April and has been runner-up on his last two starts, most recently over C&D (good); his course form figures read 122 and there is every chance that he'll again be thereabouts. |

Won here (1m4f, good) in April; beaten a head at Chester (1m4f, good) last month and again finished second at Haydock (1m6f, good) last time; ran well over an extended 2m at York last season and could be involved. |

Winner off 4lb lower at Musselburgh in April (1m4f, good) and back to form when runner-up at Chester last time (1m4f, good); seems to stay 1m6f so could go well. |
