23rd Jan 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

In good form in the autumn, winning over 6f at Wolverhampton and 7f at Leicester (heavy); not quite so good on last two starts (7f and 8.5f); could bounce back. |

Versatile trip-wise, having won over 6f on this track in September and later a 7f turf claimer the following month; another sound effort over the extended 1m here next time and although his 7f handicap form isn't particularly compelling, he's in good enough form to be considered. |

9st 7lb |
Dual AW winner who is 0-13 on turf, but she returned from a break with a near-miss at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago; only 1lb higher here and is a big player if she can back that up. |

23rd Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Won a classified race at Lingfield (7f, AW) last summer; short of her best in three runs this winter though and she needs a full revival. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Can front-run; made all at Ayr (7f, soft) in July but he failed to back that up at that same track next time; fair fourth having dictated the gallop at Hamilton (8.5f, good to soft) three weeks ago and now returns to 7f. |
6/1 |

3rd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |

Three wins from his last nine starts, the latest at Ayr (7f, soft) in July, and he can't be discounted; however, good runs have been in the minority this year and it's been a long time since he won beyond 7f. |

Off the mark at the tenth attempt when justifying favouritism at Wolverhampton (7f) in April; returns from a five-month break off a 5lb higher mark; stable also run Soar Above and the betting should provide clues. |
