1st Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
His C&D win in February was achieved off a 10lb higher mark; out of sorts more recently though and others look safer. |

2nd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
All nine wins over 6f including three here; 8lb below his last winning mark, but attempts this far for only the second time on his 64th start and didn't prove his stamina in the first. |

He was winning for the ninth time in his career when scoring at Kempton in February (made most); quiet on turf this summer and opposable despite a reduced mark. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Came good for current stable at third attempt, with fairly comfortable success at Ripon (6f, good) in June, and recovered from awkward start to take third off today's mark at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) last month; must be considered. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Came good for current stable at third attempt, with quite stylish success at Ripon (6f, good) last month; still on good mark after recent 4lb rise and this stiffer track ought to suit him; good chance. |

9st 10lb |
First 7f win at Newmarket in May; just 1-22 on the AW but this surface suits and he was unlucky in his sole C&D run, when runner-up in September, and looks well worth another go back over this trip. |

All bar one of his seven wins has come over 6f, but he has finished runner-up in both goes over this trip including here; still 6lb above his last winning mark, though, so needs to find a bit more. |

Justified favouritism in Hamilton event (6f, good to soft) last month, opening his account at 12th attempt; may remain competitive, having gone back up just 2lb. |

Showed promise last summer in novice/maiden races; has tumbled down the weights and he's one to watch in the betting now back from a break, but he struggled on his four starts earlier this year; plenty to prove. |

Nosed ahead in the final strides to beat Down To The Kid in C&D event three weeks ago, taking record at Southwell to 3-5 and strike-rate under Hector Crouch to 5-8; with those stats he's one for the shortlist. |

Out of form on AW when last seen in January/February but ought to cope well if the ground remains soft and is well drawn to seize the favoured nearside rail; worth a second look. |

Multiple winner down the years; solid effort on turf three weeks ago and won't mind getting back on AW; looks the likeliest of Phil Mcentee's three runners. |
