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. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Five wins at Southwell but didn't run much of a race there last time and it's a long time since he was successful on turf; others appeal more. |

4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Five-time course winner at 7f and 6f who has run well at Doncaster on his last two starts, most recently when fourth (beaten a length) 19 days ago; just 1lb higher than his win here in February and has claims. |
11/2 |

16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Has a patchy profile but he's a prolific winner who bounced back with a fair fifth over C&D (good) three weeks ago; has possibilities if he can back that up and last success was off a similar mark. |

17th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Often slowly away but has plenty of Southwell form, including four wins off higher marks; posted a resurgent effort (third of 13) over C&D most recently; possibilities, provided he takes to new headgear. |
7/1 |

3rd 2 (3) |
24th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Now 10lb below his last winning mark, which came over C&D (Class 5) in January; probably a bit better than the bare facts (slowly away and met trouble) when seventh of 12 over C&D one week ago. |

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. |

19th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Landed a classified at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) in August but has been found out by a jolt up the handicap in two runs since and needs to come down the weights. |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Returned to form with a win at Yarmouth (6f classified) in August but he failed to back that up at Brighton ten days later; this return to Tapeta is no problem but he's hard to predict and others are preferred. |
16/1 |

24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Always been best on the AW but off the mark on turf in a 0-50 classified event ten days ago; did a lot of racing over this trip in the past but does seem more effective over 6f these days and history suggests he's no good thing to back up Yarmouth. |

17th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Has done all his winning over C&D, most recently off 4lb higher in February; midfield in the latest of his two starts since returning from summer break; good chance if staging a full revival. |

24th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Five-time 7f winner here (well suited by a good test over that trip) who's currently 0-17 over C&D; patchy since a win here off 1lb lower in February and others have more pressing claims. |

His last win was over two years ago and he has record of 70767787 since December; mark continues to tumble but he has lots to prove and needs a major upturn in form. |
