7th Apr 2025 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Thirsk (1m, good) last August on second start and followed up in Newcastle novice (1m, AW) in September; this unexposed 4yo has potential off his opening mark and he's firmly in calculations. |

Confirmed the promise of his Thirsk debut in July (7f, good to soft) by winning a 1m novice back there last month; improvement required to defy a penalty but it's not out of the question. |

Raced exclusively on AW; placed in four of his six starts, close second at Newcastle (1m) latest; holds a solid chance but some of these rivals have greater room for progress. |

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. |

Third in a competitive Newcastle handicap (7f; first-time cheekpieces) before comfortably making the most of a simple task back in novice company at Wolverhampton; looks on the upgrade. |

10th Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Pleasing debut here when third favourite behind a couple of useful rivals (1m) in August; ran to a similar level on Tapeta last time, when again shaping as though tonight's longer trip would be fine, and is one of a handful with realistic claims. |
4/1 |
|
4th 7 (9) |
10th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Green off the bridle but it was still a pleasing start to his career when fourth at Chelmsford 12 days ago (1m); the first two home in that maiden have a BHA rating of 92 so the form has some substance; interesting with improvement on the cards. |
5/1 |
|
4th 6 (6) |
29th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Half-brother to 7f AW/1m turf winner Monte Linas (RPR 90); dam 7f/1m winner (89), out of 1m5f winning half-sister to French 6.5f Group 3 2yo winner Perugina and Listed-placed 12.5f winner Sovana (dam of three Group winners); worth a second look on debut if market favourable. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Took full advantage of the drop into Class 4 company when readily seeing off five rivals at Redcar last week (1m, good to firm); penalised in a deeper race but he still commands serious respect. |
5/2 |
|
1st 1 (5) |
26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins last season, over C&D in April (good) and off 1lb lower over 1m1f at York in June (good to firm; beat Cosmos Raj by a nose); not disgraced in two competitive handicaps this season and is the one to beat now down in grade. |
11/8 |
|
6th 13 (12) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Ended last season with a good third to Man Of La Mancha over 1m1f on this course (good to firm); shaped as if retaining all his ability when seventh of 22 in the Spring Mile at Doncaster, short of room closing stages; should be spot-on with that run behind him and looks ready to strike. |

29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Only 1-12 for current yard but gained the success off 7lb higher in a division of this contest on reappearance last year (good ground); great chance assuming he starts this season in similar form. |
8/1 |
|
2 (5) |
25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
He's 6lb lower than when winning over C&D (good) in March in a hood, which goes back on today; however, he's gone off the boil more recently and needs to produce more than he's managed on his last few starts. |

31st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Disappointing behind Letsbefrank at Hamilton a fortnight ago but in good form otherwise this year, with two close seconds sandwiching a win at Musselburgh (1m4f, good); no surprise if he bounces back with a big performance. |
10/1 |
|
8th 1 (2) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Dependable sort who's been in career-best form with a win and two seconds this season; raised another 2lb but can show up well again after his two big runs at Musselburgh (pipped by Letsbefrank latest); highly respected. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 4 (6) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Second at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) on reappearance and better than ever when taking a 14-runner handicap over C&D (good) two weeks ago; 4lb higher this time but firmly in the mix. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Gained last summer's breakthrough win over 1m and remains unexposed over this trip but finished down the field here (7f) on last month's reappearance and needs that run to have brought him on. |
12/1 |
|
10th 3 (7) |
20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Well beaten last October when last seen but on heavy ground; prior to that he was a close fourth over C&D and this lightly raced 5yo reappears with his trainer (who runs two) among the winners; could be involved. |
9/1 |
|
6 (2) |
9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Won at Doncaster (1m, good) in July and bounced back from lesser run here (7f, good) with staying-on fourth at Redcar (7f, good to soft) in a first-time hood (retained); this lightly raced 4yo could have more to offer now back up to 1m, provided the ground suits (unproven on soft/heavy). |

1st Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |

Looks a poor maiden and he beat just two in 6f Ayr handicap 11 days ago; cheekpieces are reached for now and a tongue-tie is also refitted. |

28th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Today's handicap debut provides a first realistic opportunity and a market check is advised, but this 4yo has shown very little when massive odds on his first three starts (7f-1m3f). |
33/1 |

2 (8) |
11th Jun 2025 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 5 |
