Made it 2-3 in nurseries when winning at Haydock (7f, soft) last month and ran another big race when third at York (1m, soft) a fortnight ago, fading close home; could play a leading role now back down to 7f. |

26th Mar 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Four runs as 2yo; made all in 1m novice here second time out but not sure that contest took much winning in the end; couldn't build on it on soft ground next time and subsequently finished down the field over C&D; gelded since; perhaps best watched for all he's drawn to attack. |

13th Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
In the frame in seven of eight starts, winning a Chester maiden from Mayday Malone on penultimate occasion and good second in nursery at Haydock (again 7f on soft) latest; that proficiency on soft has to put him into serious calculations. |
7/2 |

3 (6) |
28th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 7f 37y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Reached the frame in five of his first six starts before winning a Chester maiden (7f, soft) two weeks ago; returns to a nursery in competitive race but that was a personal best last time and he's open to more progress; shortlisted. |
4/1 |

1st 5 (5) |
14th Sep 2024 Heavy 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |

Runner-up on two of his six starts (including on soft) and has also run well over C&D; can give another fair account but he's looking exposed and others in this should have greater potential. |

30th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Sottsass filly who ended last season with emphatic handicap wins at Nottingham (1m, heavy) and Newmarket (1m1f, soft); hit with another big rise in the weights but may be capable of further improvement, provided the return to forecast faster ground is no issue. |

2nd Nov 2024 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Had been treading water over 7f but showed marked improvement for the step up to 1m when easily winning nursery at Nottingham last month, strong at the finish; that was on heavy ground so drying conditions here might not be ideal, but today's even longer trip should suit well; major player. |

Best 7f form when making the frame at Ayr and Newcastle; soft ground was a plausible excuse last time; first win is possible, provided he's aided by this drop in trip. |

28th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 7f 37y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Clear promise in first three runs but his form slumped in a heavy-ground novice at Chester (6f) two weeks ago; that was after a break but he was beaten 18l and has some questions to answer now upped to 7f on nursery debut; cheekpieces worn last time are removed. |

Ran to a similar level in three runs in May, including at this track; slower ground an unknown as he returns from a 116-day absence and connections now turn to cheekpieces. |

Displayed improved form when third to Our Mighty Mo on nursery debut at Haydock (7f, soft) four weeks ago; he's 6lb better off with the winner for just over 2l but needs another step forward today in this warm contest. |

Best form last year when close second at Carlisle (6f, soft) and Chester (7f, good to soft) in September; those efforts suggest there's an ordinary handicap in him. |

28th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 7f 37y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
0-6 but he's finished a close second with cheekpieces added in nurseries at Carlisle (6f, soft) and Chester (7f, good to soft) in last two runs; up another 2lb but he didn't get much luck last time and is open to more progress at this trip; big player. |
