24th May 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 46y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Won easily at York (soft) last October when back up to 2m; better form in two of his three starts this season, bouncing back to win the Chester Plate (2m2f, good) on latest with a strong late bid from the rear; 4lb higher today but may well have more to offer at 2m+. |

9st 11lb |
Disappointing at Southwell just 12 days ago; however, a good case can be made on his previous form as he won easily at York last October when back up to 2m (soft), and stayed on well for second over 1m6f at Southwell (AW) on his reappearance; versatile ground-wise; could bounce back with big run. |

Some respectable Flat runs without winning in four starts in UK; the best of his four maiden hurdle runs came on last twice but has 3.75l to make up on Tassarolo from Cork last time. |

Winless since 2023 but he resumed from five months off with a good fourth of ten in 1m4f Pontefract handicap in April; this veteran needs considering off an easing mark. |

8th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |

Has run well in defeat on all three visits here and he's dropped down the weights; however, this 9yo was regressive last season and a major turnaround is needed on today's reappearance. |

28th Sep 2024 Soft 1m 6f 1y Class 4 |

Disappointing favourite in this race last year but he does stay the trip and acts on heavy going; Thirsk in May saw his first win since 2022 but he's underperformed on last four outings; the last two were admittedly on AW and he's back to that last winning mark. |

Excelled last April-August at 1m6f, winning five times on varied ground; second attempt at 2m when back-to-form second at Haydock ten days ago, beaten a head; back up 2lb but respected. |

Both his 2024 wins were over 1m6f (good/good to firm) and the first of those was in this race; reappearance was promising over just 1m2f, which he failed to build on over C&D later in April but that was a steadily run race and he's probably worth another chance. |

Both his 2024 wins were over 1m6f (good/good to firm) and one was at this track, where he's now 2-3; ran on into third of 14 at Newbury on recent reappearance, which was a promising show over just 1m2f; big chance. |
