1st 4 (1) |
9th Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Good strike-rate; ended 2024 in fine form and he's continued the good work in 2025, winning at Newmarket in April and over C&D three weeks ago (good run over 6f here in between); has a career-high mark but he has the rail draw and his record for Oisin Murphy reads 61121; drying ground in his favour; solid contender. |

19th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Ended 2024 in good form and he's carried on the good work this year, beating Toca Madera at Newmarket last month and then going down narrowly over 6f here last week; good chance off the same mark with Oisin Murphy retaining the ride. |

11th Apr 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Placed in four of his five AW runs since October but he's getting no respite from the handicapper as a consequence; should run his race but others look stronger for win purposes. |

19th Mar 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Yet to add to his debut success but he has been in good form since switched to AW, going desperately close at Chelmsford and over C&D and then only giving best to two more patiently ridden rivals over C&D last month; big player off this mark. |

12th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Both turf runs at 5f, winning the first of them as 2yo; lost nothing in defeat when a solid runner-up to an improver at Kempton (6f) recently; back up 2lb and not ideal that he hasn't run on grass for 14 months. |

21st May 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who ran his best race to date when second of 13 at Southwell last month (5f); the return to 6f can help but a 2lb nudge demands further progress. |

Losing run up to 28 but he has run three solid races since returning to turf last month; Rossa Ryan back on board and set to go well again; blinkers left off this time. |

Poor return of 1-30 for one of his ability, though he has been competitive of late and may have gone even closer at Catterick last week without taking a few bumps; livelier place claims than some. |

19th Nov 2024 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Seen more regularly on turf and it's over two years since her one AW win (6f) but she's been running well off much-reduced mark of late; shouldn't be too far away if no ill effects from leaving off the headgear. |

29th May 2025 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
0-12 on turf but he can operate on this surface and ran well when third here (7f, good to firm) 15 days ago; not the first time he's put in a good shift at this track and he's becoming quite well treated. |

14th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |

All seven wins on AW but he has placed form on turf, including second off 5lb higher at York last year; below par on AW seven weeks ago but no surprise were he to bounce back under Hollie Doyle (2-7 for the stable). |

Inconsistent this year but is well handicapped on best sprinting form, including a 2yo Listed win; possibilities provided he stays this new trip. |

15th Sep 2024 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Second at Newmarket in July (5f, good) but he failed to back it up at Newbury last time (stumbled leaving the stalls); has more to prove at 6f and a change of headgear isn't enough to tempt. |

31st May 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Didn't fulfil potential for Charles Hills but he has created a positive impression in two runs for his new connections this year, shaping as though the run was needed at Pontefract (6f, good) last month before an easy win at Thirsk two weeks ago (5f, good to firm); up 8lb against a much higher calibre of opposition but he's unexposed at 5f so not passed over lightly. |

8st 12lb |
Just one win for Charles Hills but last summer's best form came off higher marks than this; pleasing return to action/stable debut at Pontefract 17 days ago and being dropped 1lb helps; untried at 5f but he's not short of pace and he's another interesting contender. |
