16th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 197y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Won at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) last spring but he's struggled in his last eight starts including over hurdles in last two runs; now 10lb lower than for his last success but he needs a big turnaround for new yard (has changed hands and left Mike Smith); hood removed and cheekpieces return. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |

Two Flat wins but form went the wrong way in that code from last August onwards and he was pulled up at 150-1 on hurdle debut four weeks ago. |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Dual Flat winner; fairly useful at his best (1m-1m3f) but his form for Mike Smith since last summer has been disappointing, and the soft ground is a big worry on this hurdle debut; cheekpieces removed. |

Won twice in the space of five days last August, the second win coming over C&D off today's mark; ran some fair races on AW over the winter; place claims back from four months off. |

20th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Won twice in five days on turf last August (both 1m1f, good) and although he is 0-13 on AW, he's fully effective at this track; each-way claims. |

1st Nov 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Winless in his first 25 starts, but in good form since the blinkers went on in June (4321133); both wins came over 1m1f on turf in August, but he finished well for a creditable third over C&D last time; interesting contender on this drop back in grade. |

Four-time turf winner but 0-6 on AW; never threatened when fifth at Kempton on Monday (1m) and has to prove this trip is in range. |

13th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Four turf wins to her name, the latest at Brighton in April (1m, good to firm) when rated 2lb higher; needs to bounce back from a lacklustre run at Epsom last month. |

11th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Can be in and out but fairly solid in cheekpieces when third at Brighton (1m) on her last two starts and it was a creditable second on her only start here (C&D, good) last July; has dropped below her last winning mark. |

9th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has earned four of his five wins here, three over C&D (all on a sound surface); placed again here twice this season but was below par on his penultimate start and finished last 27 days ago (both C&D); questions to answer now. |

22nd May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Successful four times at Yarmouth, including in this race (off 2lb higher) two years ago; finished second, beaten just over 1l, when favourite for C&D contest last week; nicely handicapped and looks a leading player. |

23rd Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Last run at Kempton saw him finish a close second off a 15lb higher mark and that was as recent as March; likely to exploit his drop in the weights at some point but perhaps in a less competitive race than this. |
12/1 |

19th Sep 2024 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Has looked on the downgrade in recent times, coming 16lb down the weights this year; hasn't looked to see out 1m2f the past twice, though, and a better showing wouldn't surprise back in the usual cheekpieces. |
20/1 |

16th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Usually seen over 1m and a return to 1m2f ten days ago did not yield anything; 12lb lower than at start of the year but others have more pressing claims. |

5th Apr 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Has a modest 1-16 strike-rate and she hasn't been at her best on AW on her two runs this year; however, she's now 4lb lower than when a commanding winner over C&D (good to firm) last August and she'll be a major player if rediscovering some form. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Can miss the break but scored twice last year, a 20-1 win at Newmarket (good to firm) in July supplemented by a Yarmouth (also 7f, good to soft) success in September; never dangerous on AW return in February but might do better this time. |
20/1 |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Three wins on turf; 0-7 on AW and often slowly away but is difficult to dismiss, having posted an encouraging effort over C&D most recently; Jack Dace takes off a handy 5lb. |
8/1 |

22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Seen to advantage (sat off the strong pace) when producing career win number three (second at Yarmouth) 34 days ago (7f); she stays this far but it's doubtful things will pan out as favourably and a 6lb rise is tough. |

28th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Made his breakthrough (11th attempt) in a Windsor handicap (1m, good to firm) in August; backed that up with a creditable fourth at Salisbury but he has taken a strong hold at times and his form nosedived at Yarmouth last week; bit to prove again after that and he needs to bounce back on this return to Polytrack. |

19th Sep 2024 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |

Has got it together since upped to this trip (behind Claxton Bay last time) and today's mark could well be within range if he settles better into a bigger field; one to consider. |

30th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

took keen hold, in touch with leaders, headway 2f out, pressed leaders when short of room over 1f out, not clear run final 110yds, soon switched left and lost third |

Fourth of 14 on second start for this yard at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) in October suggested the ability remained, but losing run up to 18 despite a sliding mark; not sure a return to sprinting is the answer. |
