Nosed ahead in the final strides to beat Down To The Kid in C&D event three weeks ago, taking record at Southwell to 3-5 and strike-rate under Hector Crouch to 5-8; with those stats he's one for the shortlist. |

Made all and just held on when off the mark at the 20th attempt at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta) 11 days ago; 4lb wrong under her penalty, but the drop back in trip may suit on her first visit here; high on list. |

25th Feb 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Easy win in a 7f handicap last month but that race rather fell apart and the handicapper took no chances with a 6lb hike; unable to threaten back here 17 days ago; effective over C&D but others appeal more. |
10/1 |

7th 7 (8) |
8th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Back to winning ways when readily accounting for seven rivals over C&D 12 days ago; the short-priced favourite fluffed the start there and the race may not have taken much winning; a 6lb rise asks a stiffer question of her. |

8st 10lb |
Slightly disappointing when well-held fourth on this month's turf return at Bath (1m), but was in good form on AW beforehand (7f-8.6f) and is well suited by this C&D; no surprise if he features. |

4th May 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Has run with credit since winning at Chepstow (7f, good to firm) last July but is a victim of his own consistency and probably needs to drop a couple of pounds before finding another opening. |

28th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Six time winner who won three in a row in January/February and he ran another good race when third at Lingfield (1m2f, Polytrack) last month; won on turf last summer but that was off a much lower mark and he needs to transfer his progress back to this sphere. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 4 (5) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Thriving for his current yard and he completed a hat-trick in 1m2f Chelmsford handicap in February; up another 4lb but this C&D winner rates a player in his bid for a four-timer. |
9/2 |
|
1st 2 (3) |
21st Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Improver who has won four of his last nine starts and he made it 2-3 for current yard when scoring over C&D 13 days ago; remains feasibly treated off only 2lb higher and he's a big player again in hat-trick bid. |

14th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
10st 10lb |
Almost three years since he won and does most racing over shorter; gone well fresh before but pulled hard the only time he's tried this far and will want to settle early back from four months off; refused to enter stalls and withdrawn from last intended start in January (9-1 at the time). |
12/1 |

28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Four-time AW winner who had lost his way but bounced back with a narrow defeat on stable debut over 1m2f here a month ago; unraced over quite this far but couldn't rule out. |
15/2 |
|
2nd 7 (9) |
29th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Four of his five wins have come on the AW including one here (7f); losing run up to 24 and makes his stable debut after seven months off having changed hands for 1,000gns in February; market should reveal what is expected. |

14th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 53y Class 5 |

Five-time AW scorer who opened his turf account in Redcar contest (1m, good) on penultimate start; respectable third, despite not getting the clearest of runs, at Newmarket latest; remains in form. |
7/2 |

3rd 11 (2) |
25th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Four 1m AW wins earlier this year and he's run really well in this headgear combination on turf on his last two starts, coming from the rear to win with authority at Redcar (1m, good) last Tuesday; unexposed on grass and he's ahead of the handicapper under a 5lb penalty; key player. |
7/2 |

9 (12) |
16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has done most of his racing on the AW, winning five times at 7f/1m; was having only his third turf run when a good second at Newmarket on latest start last month (1m, good to firm; wore today's combination of headgear for first time), keeping on well after starting slowly when his blindfold came off late; interesting. |
