6th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Having dropped below his last winning mark he returned to form to win readily at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago; won on soft last year; could take a 4lb rise in his stride now he's back on song, and he finished second in this race in 2023; one to consider. |

17th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Effective on fast and soft ground and four of his wins have come at this trip; last success at Sandown in the autumn but he's been disappointing since including in two runs at Newmarket this season; now 2lb lower than for his last win but he needs to turn things around. |

Has claims on a narrow C&D win in November and a close second at Lingfield in December, but he finished behind several of these when only eighth of 11 at Wolverhampton (100-30 favourite) on Boxing Day; needs to bounce back. |

19th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Effective here (and on various ground); placed three times in a row this August/September (1m/7f) but only seventh of 18 in the Challenge Cup here (7f, soft) a fortnight ago and needs a bigger performance today. |

5th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Returned in July from ten months off and has run well in his last three starts, third of nine at Sandown (7f, soft) last time, but he has managed to win only one of his last 25 starts and is still 5lb higher; addition of a tongue-tie needs to make a difference. |

13th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Shaped well on reappearance (found trouble) and bang there in his subsequent races, over 1m at Newmarket and C&D 13 days ago (first-time cheekpieces); hard to offer any excuses on either occasion and, now 3-31, he's looking a hard horse to catch right. |

9st 1lb |
Yet to cross the line in front (last August's win came when promoted due to a technicality) but this lightly raced 5yo is very consistent and finished second on his recent stable and seasonal debut at Newcastle (7f, AW); there's every chance he'll again be thereabouts. |

Went close in sole AW start; fairly useful on her day, best effort this term when neck second in Haydock handicap in August; however, faces a stiffer assignment back up in class. |

Not the easiest to predict and has only won a Newbury novice from ten starts; however, went mighty close off just 2lb lower at Haydock on his penultimate run so he's not one to put a line through; likes to lead and had no freedom at York last time. |

26th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Narrow maiden (soft) and novice (AW) wins over 7f in May and June 2023; has yet to get a regular foothold in handicaps (hampered early on latest) but this is a drop in grade from last time and he is falling in the weights. |
12/1 |

13th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Back-to-back wins in minor races last season but handicaps are providing a tougher challenge; beaten under 4l in a Racing League event last time and that was after an absence (gelded), but whether he'll build on that remains to be seen. |
10/1 |

29th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

Won twice over 7f in maiden/novice company last season (including Tapeta) but he came up short once handicapping; gelded since last seen; can do better this year but he's into a competitive race after 317 days off. |

A better horse on the AW and he narrowly fended off Serenity Dream over Kempton's 7f on penultimate start; only fourth at Salisbury, though, and others appeal more. |

24th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Better known as an AW performer (7-40) than turf (2-13); 2lb lower than when winning on grass at Ascot last summer and has scored once over this far on the AW, but his other eight successes have come over 7f; this may stretch him. |

Five-time AW winner but made it 0-12 on turf when finishing last at Brighton, where he ran well to be third the time before; even if back on song, all his wins have come at a lower level than this. |
