17th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Recorded his 12th AW win when scoring at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month but he flopped under a penalty there eight days later; has bit to prove again after that heavy defeat but he has won three of his last seven starts and is capable of bouncing back. |

22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Beat a serial loser of late over C&D three weeks ago, taking Hector Crouch's record on him to 2-2; 4lb rise is of no great concern considering he's been rated much higher in the past; handy draw. |

Nine of his 12 wins have been on AW, the latest from 5lb higher at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) in March; not beaten far into fourth of 13 at Brighton (1m, soft) last month and he has to be of interest in this field. |

Is 0-17 but he comes here in decent nick, fourth of seven in 1m AW Lingfield handicap 29 days ago; needs considering off a slipping mark. |

4th 1 (5) |
4th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Longstanding maiden who's been turned over at 4-1 or shorter on eight occasions, including in three runs this season; pulled hard and hit traffic back from a break latest and is down to 0-55 company for the first time, so will be popular on his Polytrack debut. |

22nd Jul 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

It looked as if his turn may be near when third on his final three starts of 2024 (twice over C&D); beat only one home when last seen 166 days ago but he was hampered inside the final furlong; usually held up so needs things to drop right. |

Up in the weights after two turf wins last year and has never won off a mark this high on the AW; finished the season with a whimper and may need this at his age back from six months off. |

23rd Jan 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

In good form in the autumn, winning over 6f at Wolverhampton and 7f at Leicester (heavy); not quite so good on last two starts (7f and 8.5f); could bounce back. |

4th Jan 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Versatile trip-wise, having won over 6f on this track in September and later a 7f turf claimer the following month; another sound effort over the extended 1m here next time and although his 7f handicap form isn't particularly compelling, he's in good enough form to be considered. |

28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Disappointing at York last month but progressive otherwise this year, making it four wins for 2025 when scoring at Yarmouth in May; his current mark may not be beyond him if he can bounce back from last time. |

26th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |

Five AW wins (at up to 1m) between last October and this March and back on the scoresheet at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft) in May (form franked); another good run when third at Goodwood (1m, good) last time, when they went no pace; every chance he'll continue to improve. |

10st 5lb |
Sole win from 19 starts came on turf at Epsom (7f fillies' maiden) in August 2023; more miss than hit since joining Gemma Tutty (0-4), although there was a slight glimmer at Wolverhampton (7f; third) in November; blinkers make a return and that potentially offers hope. |

Sole win was in an Epsom maiden 16 months ago and she was never involved over 8.6f here (seventh of 11) last time; cheekpieces are now added but she's been in and out this year and her tactical speed will be tested back at this trip; others are more convincing. |

19th Apr 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

C&D winner just under a year ago and comes into this on a hat-trick after two wins at Southwell (1m, Tapeta), the latest a narrow success under Andrea Pinna 11 days ago; up another 2lb and although his wide draw isn't ideal, he has to be respected in his current mood. |

21st Dec 2024 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
His only win came in a 7f Doncaster maiden as a 2yo; struggled for David Evans thus far but he's dropped 22lb since August and many of those runs have come over an inadequate 6f; the booking of Rossa Ryan and the addition of a visor point to a better showing this evening; confidence would increase if backed. |

Six wins from 37 starts, the most recent success coming at Southwell (1m, AW) in March; ran respectably here on the AW 19 days ago, taking his form figures since the visor was applied to 314, but he's 0-7 on turf. |

4th 12 (7) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

Aided by new visor on his two starts this year, latterly when exploiting a much reduced mark at Southwell (1m) last month; that form has been well advertised by the runner-up since and this C&D also suits; shortlisted. |
5/1 |

1st 5 (2) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Well handicapped on last winter's AW form and there were more encouraging signs from him when third at Chelmsford four weeks ago (visored first time); got loose before the start and withdrawn at Newcastle two weeks ago; chance if building on the latest run. |
