Low-mileage 4yo who is 3-3 since being gelded (maiden previously), most recently winning with something to spare at Lingfield (1m) in the trial for this race; on a roll and holds strong claims. |

He has looked an improved performer since returning to action (gelded during his absence) this year, following an easy 8.6f maiden win at Wolverhampton with a front-running success in a handicap over the same C&D 17 days later; 6lb rise asks more of him but he could be up to the task. |

17th Feb 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
2-3 in novice events; ran okay after a break on handicap debut and was better when runner-up over 8.6f here 20 days ago; gives the impression that this longer trip could bring him on some more. |

2nd 4 (2) |
28th Jan 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Won two of his three starts in novice company, one of them on Tapeta; beaten off this mark on last month's handicap debut but it was after a 227-day break and the yard was a bit quiet at the time; that's not the case now and this unexposed 4yo retains potential. |

1lb lower than when scoring in an amateur riders' event at Goodwood (1m, good) in June, but hard to win with these days and latest close third of six came in a Newcastle seller (1m, Tapeta); look elsewhere. |

Hard to crab his record on AW, winning three times and regularly placed; he'll need a good pace back at 7f but that could be on the cards. |

20th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |

C&D winner in 2024; two sound runs over 1m at Hamilton in May; mixed form since, although was well beaten on turf last twice; needs to bounce back. |
12/1 |

9th 7 (3) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Campaigned mostly at Hamilton for current stable, winning in May and creditable second to Sanafi Zabeel (runs in first division) last month; well held in last week's Leger Legends at Doncaster but it's an effort which might be worth forgiving after he pulled too hard; Hector Crouch is 1-1 for the stable this year. |

Campaigned mostly at Hamilton for current stable, winning in May and creditable second last time; sound effort in sole Doncaster attempt, namely 11-2 third in this contest (good to soft) 12 months ago; again has place possibilities. |

9st 8lb |
Made a successful reappearance at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) a year ago when trained by Richard Spencer, but below form in his last three starts and now makes his debut for a new yard in a first-time tongue-tie; market useful. |

Returned from six months off to win a C&D handicap last April off 5lb lower; ran well on his next three AW starts but his form has dipped the last twice; new visor replaces blinkers; dangerous if left alone up front. |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |

1m winner (good and good to soft); on a handy mark if able to return to last season's form but has been well below that level this time; tongue-tie now accompanies usual cheekpieces; trainer also runs Spirit Genie. |

7th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |

In fine form last summer, scoring at Ffos Las (1m) and signing off with an excellent second over 1m2f here; set a lot to do on his return from eight months off when tenth in 7f Thirsk handicap 19 days ago; should strip sharper now and he's very much one to consider back up in trip. |

30th Jun 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Placed on stable debut at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) in early May but two lesser efforts have followed and he remains without a win since 2022; raced too freely in a visor on latest outing; cheekpieces tried here. |
14/1 |

6th 4 (2) |
12th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Losing run goes back to 2022; did make a positive start for new yard when third (A Major Payne fifth) at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) last month but a subsequent no-show at Leicester needs forgiving; now sports a combination of a refitted tongue-tie and first-time visor. |
12/1 |

6th 6 (7) |
26th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Losing run goes back to 2022 but he has course form (7f) and new yard has inherited one who's dropped a long way in the weights; looked to be on the way back when third at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) this month; good claims. |

Kept on well to collar Square d'Alboni in closing stages over C&D (good; first-time tongue-tie) last month and is now 3-4 over hurdles; still unexposed over this trip and features prominently in calculations. |

1st 2 |
19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Fairly useful Flat stayer who drew clear to score by over 6l at Aintree (2mf, good) in May and is now 2-3 over hurdles; has the big 12lb penalty here and Sean Bowen is replaced by an amateur but could be seen to even better effect over this longer trip; tongue-tie added. |
4/1 |

1st 1 |
15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Four-time winner on the Flat for Richard Hughes and it's been a promising start over hurdles, winning a Southwell maiden last time without too much fuss (good); penalised accordingly but sets the standard. |
