1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
No sign at all of age wearying him during the winter, having won over C&D in November, and he returned from a break as fresh as paint with a 7f win at Southwell last month; back up 4lb; one of a few to consider. |

Both wins have been over 1m at Yarmouth and latest was in August 2022; reached the frame a few times since November but she's been well held over 7f in last two starts; new headgear is now tried but she's not run over this trip for a long time and others are are preferred. |

Won twice over 1m on Tapeta at the start of the year (including here), but has steadily regressed since; may need this after four months off and could probably do with another furlong in any case. |

27th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Both wins were over 1m on AW early this year; has some fair form on turf but he's been well held back in this sphere in both runs for current yard; bit to prove again and has work to do back up in trip and grade; another change of headgear. |

Both wins were over this trip with blinkers on the AW in January/February this year; has some fair form on turf, but was well beaten after a break at Redcar last time (1m, good to firm; cheekpieces tried); should come on for that; blinkers back on. |

8st 11lb |
Two wins at up to 6f on slow ground; has a squeak based on his Hamilton second in September but he's been badly out of sorts on his last three starts; steps up in trip but he's half-brother to two winners over it, so he could see it out; one of two in this for his trainer. |

4th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Got off the mark at the 21st attempt under an inspired ride by today's rider Matthew Lloyd Slater at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) last month; needs to be kidded along and his resolution is more key than the 4lb rise he now picks up but should go close. |

17th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Some mixed results this year but he wasn't far away over C&D (good to firm) in June and was as close as he's ever been to a first win when beaten a neck at Yarmouth (1m2f) last week; on the premises. |

9th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
0-19; best form for this yard when second in an AW classified in January, when wearing a tongue-tie and cheekpieces; that headgear combination was swapped for a hood when a respectable fourth at Leicester (also 1m4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; drop back to this trip not an obvious plus. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Usually ridden patiently; step back in right direction when keeping-on fifth at Kempton (7f, AW) this month, but his three turf wins in 2025 were gained over 1m and he'll probably need a strong pace to aim at over this trip. |

6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Most wins come later in the year and is high in the weights (13lb higher than when last successful on the AW) after three turf victories last summer; not been at his best in two runs back. |

6th 3 (1) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won four Class 6 handicaps (7f-1m) in 2025, including on good to firm and heavy ground; back on last winning mark but he's been out of sorts in last four runs and needs a major revival back on turf; cheekpieces removed. |
