16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Prominent racer who won classified events at Wolverhampton (9.4f) and Lingfield (1m2f) in January but he's found things tough back in handicaps in his last three runs; has something to prove again and his sole turf win was in May 2023. |

Won twice in January, including over 9.4f here, and he is back to a winning mark after three disappointing runs this spring; not a solid option. |

On a long losing run; placed over C&D on his penultimate start but failed to back it up here last week (1m); others have more pressing claims. |

Veteran whose eight wins came on the AW in France; returned to form when third here over 7f eight days ago and now needs to back that up; return to 1m is no problem. |

21st Feb 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Maiden; picked up for 1,000gns out of Eve Johnson Houghton's yard in January; sent off favourite when third in C&D handicap on last week's stable debut (took keen hold); had been off for 55 days; may build on that but he carried his head high under pressure so doesn't look one to trust; maybe the refitted tongue-tie will help. |

3rd 4 (2) |
14th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

0-9 for Eve Johnston Houghton, one his best efforts when fourth of 11 over C&D in November; changed hands for 1,000gns last month and improvement needed on debut for David Evans; no headgear today. |
12/1 |

21st Dec 2024 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Still a maiden but this keen-going sort was fitted with cheekpieces when an encouraging fourth of 11 on his Tapeta debut at Southwell (7f) last month; he's one to consider eased 2lb now if his stamina holds out. |

Comes into this in red-hot form having won his last five starts on the AW, the latest when dead-heating with Recon Mission at Lingfield (5f, Polytrack) 11 days ago; meets him on the same terms and has winning form over C&D, so hard to rule out despite a 7lb higher mark and rise in grade. |
