9st 7lb |
Has made the frame all four starts, showing improvement on handicap debut when a close second of ten at Kempton (1m, AW) ten days ago; not short of speed and should not be inconvenienced by today's drop in distance; the clear pick on form and very much the one to beat. |

Over two years since his last win and his latest 1m run here was a poor one; better expected now dropping into Class 6 company though. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has shown most of his AW form at Kempton but ran creditably at Southwell most recently; makes Wolverhampton debut with a tongue-tie replacing usual hood; brings uncertainty. |

20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

Ended 2025 with two good placed efforts at Kempton; not at the same level at Lingfield last month and he has a bit more to prove on Tapteta. |

Scored at Kempton (7f) in April and right back on song of late, edged out only very late on when runner-up in similar event there last month; must enter calculations despite a 2lb weights rise. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Several good efforts in defeat against top 6f handicappers this year but he never shifted much in the weights and the return to soft ground may have made the difference when he made nearly all to win the Ayr Gold Cup recently; serious rain would bring him into the reckoning. |
12/1 |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Yet to win this year but he's run some mighty races in defeat, in the frame in the Stewards' Cup and last week's Portland (only run out of second in the closing stages); should run his race again but there will probably be a few stronger. |
16/1 |

Fourth to stablemate Two Tribes in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood but then ran poorly in another big field at York and doesn't look to have much in hand of the handicapper. |

Smart form in winning a 7f handicap on the AW in April but mostly disappointing since on turf; questions to answer. |
