4th 8 (11) |
20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Third in this last year (soft) and arrives at the top of his game, having been a clear second to Whatsgoingonmarvin at Sandown (1m2f, soft) last month and a very close third of 14 at Nottingham (1m2f, good to soft) recently; key player if his preferred slow ground prevails. |

3rd 8 (16) |
8th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won a 1m nursery here on heavy ground in October 2023 and it was soft going when he scored over 1m2f at Sandown last September; back-to-form second in the same Sandown race (soft ground again) last month and, although back up 3lb, that puts him into each-way contention. |

12th Sep 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Sent off the 11-8 favourite when winning this race 12 months ago (soft); came into that race in better form but he's 2lb lower today and his latest run (behind a few of these) wasn't as bad as the distance beaten might suggest; the more rain the better for him. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won this off 4lb lower last year (good) not long after a success over hurdles; lightly raced since, with a novice hurdle win in November before well beaten on handicap hurdle debut in December; major player if he's in the same form as 12 months ago and he has run well after a similar break before. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Firm 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Needn't make all to win but did for April's Chepstow maiden hurdle success (2m, good); refused to settle there and same trait ruined his finishing effort when last seen back on the Flat in June; likely needs to get all the basics right conceding weight all round this time. |

28th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |

Successful three times in May/June but his progress has seemingly come to an end; admittedly may benefit from this drop back in grade after a couple of Class 3 defeats. |

6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |

In good form on turf until folding tamely and well held last time; consistent in defeat on AW (four attempts) but he's 9lb higher than last appearance in this sphere. |

2nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Progressive 4yo who has won three times this season (1m2f-1m4f, good to firm/good) and again ran well when third of five at Newbury (1m4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; there's every chance he'll be thereabouts. |

7th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Fair on the Flat on her going days; has not achieved a great deal in three hurdle runs for new yard this year but she now switches to a handicap and is a possible improver with new headgear tried; one to keep an eye on. |
7/1 |

20th May 2025 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Fair on the Flat on her going days but was pulled up on stable/hurdle debut in February and probably didn't achieve much when sixth at Worcester (2m, good; first-time cheekpieces) a fortnight ago. |

29th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Suited by 1m2f on soft or heavy but he didn't seem his old self in 2024 and was well adrift on a recent hurdle debut; has been given a chance at the weights, so a change in his fortunes can't be discounted. |

13th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Good efforts in just two 1m2f handicaps for this stable, doing well against a progressive one at Newmarket (good; has won on soft) then things didn't go his way after another slow start at Doncaster in August; the return to a stiff finish can suit; has every chance. |
9/1 |

5th 1 (4) |
17th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Won novice races at Lingfield (1m, AW) and Nottingham (1m2f, soft) for James Fanshawe; yet to win a handicap but ran well when second at Newmarket (1m2f, good; cheekpieces on for first time) two runs back to one who was completing a hat-trick; headgear retained; chance on that form. |
6/1 |

4th 3 (5) |
3rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |

Inconsistent but returned to form in first-time cheekpieces (retained) when runner-up at Newmarket (1m2f, good) a fortnight ago; has run well over an extended 1m4f in the past and he's one to consider; tongue-tie added. |

27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Outsider of four when belatedly doubling his tally at Southwell last April (1m3f); hit the frame last two starts (1m2f) but not sure dropping back to 1m will see him play a bigger role this evening; Penfolds Grange looks connections' best hope. |
20/1 |

20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

On a losing run and he's yet to hit top form this season, going keenly when a fading fourth of 11 over C&D in February; needs to take a step forward. |

13th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Lightly raced since 7f win in 2022; has dropped some pounds this year and he wasn't far off his best when losing out to an unexposed one at Carlisle (1m1f, soft) 15 days ago; back up 2lb but likely to go well again; the more juice in the ground the better. |

29th Aug 2024 Good To Soft 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |

Winless since 2022 but he arrives in decent form, not lasting home over 1m4f when ninth at Newcastle a week ago; he needs considering back down in trip. |
12/1 |

12th 8 (3) |
22nd Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Fourth of 17 at Glorious Goodwood (1m, soft) last August off an 8lb higher mark on final start for Clive Cox; latest start (fifth of ten over 1m2f at Ayr) was a big step back in the right direction and gave hope for 1m4f, but there's clearly a bit for him to prove with trip/ground on AW debut. |

12th Jul 2025 Good 1m 6f 34y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
About 7l behind Diamond Bay at Goodwood (1m6f, good) on final Flat run but has since won well with the blinkers back on over hurdles, albeit an ordinary handicap; Ashley Lewis also takes off a handy 7lb; could have some role to play. |
8/1 |

10th Jun 2025 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Generally disappointing over hurdles since Plumpton novice win (2m, good to soft) in early 2024 and not seen in this sphere since down-the-field finish in Ascot handicap in December; in fairly good form on the Flat this year, though, and his current hurdle mark ought to be workable; market may guide. |
