11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Picking up his share of prize money this season, making the frame five times either side of his Pontefract (6f, good) win last month; despite that he is still 5lb lower than when a close fourth in this race 12 months ago; each-way shout. |

25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Finished second in the corresponding race 12 months ago when rated 4lb higher; back to winning ways at Pontefract (6f, good) this month and his latest C&D third was another good run; place claims once again. |

3rd 1 (1) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Off the mark for the year when comfortably seeing off nine rivals at Pontefract (6f, good) 11 days ago; 2lb well in under a penalty; ran well over C&D last summer; solid claims. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Has a patchy profile but he won at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) in May and finished close-up in sixth there 18 days ago; remains feasibly treated on his win in this race last year and he's 2-2 at Nottingham; interesting contender. |

4th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Not far behind Spartan Fighter here last month and now 11lb better off; not so good at Southwell last time when the cheekpieces were left off; headgear back on today. |
6/1 |

9th 8 (8) |
22nd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Often slowly away, as when winning over C&D last February; three 6f runs since October have all been creditable and the step back up in trip could give him a lift. |

18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Record is 3-42, the most recent win over two years ago; finished just behind Invitorio when fourth of ten over C&D 11 days ago; dropped 2lb. |

19th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Went close on his seasonal return at Pontefract in June (6f, good to firm); backwards steps since then and losing run looks set to continue. |

9th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |

It's now 20 starts since his last success and he arrives out of sorts, sixth in 6f Ayr handicap 29 days ago; he's hard to make a case for. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 94y |
9st 13lb |
Bolted up over 7f at Listowel on seasonal debut; raised 13lb for that, well held in mid-field at Fairyhouse a fortnight later; won over C&D early last season. |

8th 1 (12) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y |
10st 2lb |
After almost six months off, money came for him in the morning at Listowel last weekend and he bolted up over 7f; up 13lb and when he tried to back up a win last year after 11-day interval, he bombed; 'bounce factor' at play here too. |

30th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
In consistent form in the spring when finishing a close second five times, including over C&D, as well as winning a 1m classified event at Newcastle; however, he hasn't been in the same form since back from a break, drastically so last time out; others are much preferred. |

On a losing run but he wasn't best drawn when seventh of 11 in 6f Pontefract handicap 43 days ago; he needs considering off a handy-looking mark. |

27th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Runner-up in the Group 2 Gimcrack Stakes as a 2yo; nothing like so good now but that wasn't a barrier to success in the corresponding event 12 months ago; 7lb lower this time around and he didn't run badly at Thirsk 17 days ago; headgear left off today. |

1st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Dead-heated for first in this race 12 months ago; he's one to keep an eye on in the betting and his chance is not dismissed, but this 10yo has struggled in the main this season. |

27th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Needs to improve on his 2025 efforts; however, won this race (off 4lb higher) last year and has a good chance if back to that form. |

9st 11lb |
Second in a Brighton maiden (7f, good) last season, when with Harry Eustace; below par in two starts for Dan Skelton and when last at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) on her handicap and stable debut; drops 5lb; more needed. |

19th Sep 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Fair form shown in three 7f/1m runs for Harry Eustace last season but he offered little in a pair of 2m juvenile hurdles for Dan Skelton this summer; he makes his yard/handicap debut now with something to prove. |
