29th Mar 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Can front-run; completed a double over C&D last autumn; has come up short in his five starts since (three here) and was a notch below his best on last three occasions, but no fitness concerns and he's 1lb below his last winning mark. |

Overall strike-rate of 6-20 and a four-time winner on the AW; finished behind Cello last time despite having the run of things but he's likeably reliable and should give backers a run for their money. |

23rd May 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Capable of useful form on Flat and over jumps; however, hasn't scored under this code since 2022 and needs to improve on his 2025 AW efforts; admittedly this 8yo may benefit from today's drop back in class. |

Fine servant to his team but hasn't got his head in front since winning a four-runner chase in late 2023; 33-1 and never dangerous back on the Flat three weeks ago at Kempton (2m). |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 102y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
16lb below his last winning mark, but losing run now up to 15; might get more of a pace to run at than when fifth of nine over C&D last time, but others have more to recommend them; stable also runs Simiyann. |
11/4 |

28th Aug 2025 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 3 |
8st 3lb |
Handicapper has been relenting and he showed a lot more with third of 14 in a Racing League handicap at Newcastle (about 2m, Tapeta; 25-1) one week ago; a repeat of that puts him bang there; 2lb well in. |
11/2 |

21st Aug 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |

Has got himself well handicapped for good reason and his recent thirds were none too threatening; doubts remain; another tweak on the headgear front. |

17th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Both wins came in 2022 when trained in France; returns to the Flat for the first time this year after a couple of runs over hurdles; down to a career-low mark and has had wind surgery but others are preferred. |
25/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Fairly useful on the Flat; lightly raced in this sphere and made an encouraging start for his new stable after eight months off when fifth of ten in 2m3f Warwick novice 40 days ago; can take a step forward on his handicap debut with cheekpieces added. |
9/2 |

5th 6 |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Had plenty of racing on the Flat and ran to a highly respectable level last year at up to 2m; runner-up in his second run over hurdles at Uttoxeter (good) last summer and could run well if fitness doesn't hold him back after a lengthy absence. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 208y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Better expected last time, after two poor efforts and back to the visor from cheekpieces, but ran below market expectations in finishing behind Merrijig; 2lb better off today but has work to do if he's to turn things round. |
3/1 |
|
4th 5 (4) |
30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
C&D win last August came off an 8lb higher mark; the booking of Billy Loughnane will draw some in, back to the visor worn for his two AW victories, but two poor efforts on turf lately will need overlooking. |
12/1 |
|
10th 4 (5) |
8th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Two 2m wins last year on good and faster ground; a return to hurdling stalled his progress and hasn't been at his best back on the Flat in his last two races, though 1m4f was on the short side after a break at Newbury; could stage a revival. |
14/1 |
