11th Apr 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Not straightforward but his record for current stable features a useful win at Newmarket (2m2f) last September; creditable second (off 1lb lower) in this race last year; place possibilities. |

Five wins in his time with Phil Kirby; four runs for Tracy Waggott and better than ever when winning the Cesarewitch Trial at Newmarket (2m2f, good to firm) under Aiden Brookes on latest; probably fine in the mud and won a C&D race last term, so should have a big say despite going back up 4lb. |

12th Oct 2024 Soft 2m 0f 56y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Won a soft-ground maiden but best efforts when it's not so deep; 0-10 this season, nearly winning at Musselburgh in August but beaten over 20l on last two outings; down the weights but it's hard to have confidence in her. |
20/1 |

7th Oct 2024 Soft 2m 2f 2y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Has won on soft, best form on faster ground; 0-9 this season but nearly won at Musselburgh in August; stiff task last time; three-time Pontefract scorer and looks interesting off a workable mark back here. |

25th Mar 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Enhanced an already-decent record over C&D when second in a handicap not run to suit late last month; had struggled for consistency prior to that, and there's little wiggle room off this mark, but he's still in with a chance. |

9st 10lb |
Successful at Musselburgh (2m, good) and Redcar (1m6f, good to firm) in the summer, but probably found the trip stretching him back at Musselburgh (2m2f, good) last month; ran well in his only previous AW start when third of ten over this C&D a year ago; one to consider. |

9st 9lb |
Dual bumper winner who landed a Wolverhampton novice (1m4f, Tapeta) in December, but he was tailed off under a penalty at Southwell 12 days later; still unexposed in this sphere but has something to prove after that last run and he needs more progress on his return. |

5-33 overall, with last season's win at Doncaster (14.5f) in July off today's mark; ended last term on a low note and there's a major question to be answered today first time out. |

8th Apr 2025 Good 2m 3f 61y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Having first run over hurdles since pulling up at Cartmel in May (2m6f, good); mixed form on the Flat since but was a 2m AW winner in February; could go well. |
13/2 |

5th 3 (2) |
24th Mar 2025 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Hit a personal best with his dominant display at Newcastle (2m, Tapeta) last month but he was last of six on his return visit 12 days ago; still looks feasibly treated on his penultimate form but he's hard to predict and needs to bounce back again after that last run; cheekpieces are removed and visor returns. |
