Form & Verdict

Won twice over C&D around the turn of the year and he added a Catterick handicap to his tally in April; gone off the boil more recently but no surprise to see a revival back on AW.

Form & Verdict

Five AW wins on Polytrack; in good form at Chepstow this summer for Deborah Faulkner prior to changing hands for 8,500gns last month; drops back in class and he's one to consider.

Form & Verdict

Off the mark for his new yard with a front-running Pontefract success in July; soft ground shouldn't have been an issue when fourth of five at Hamilton last time; back down in class and capable of a bold bid.
