7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 119y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Eight-race maiden and he's yet to come close, but weakened only from before the last when 24l third of nine at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) four weeks ago; the cheekpieces are retained; not ruled out. |

5th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
No match for the winner when second of three on handicap debut at Leicester (2m4f, soft) in December and pulled up at Fontwell (3m2f, soft) since; improvement is necessary in first-time cheekpieces. |

18th Nov 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 110y Class 4 |

Brings the least convincing profile after heavy defeats in a bumper and three hurdle races (hooded last time). |

16th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Back to some form over 1m4f on turf on last two starts; 0-11 on AW, however, with two places but they were on Polytrack. |
11/1 |
|
4th 7 (5) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Struggled over 1m at Southwell last month but relished the step back up in trip when winning at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago; still fairly treated on his old form off this 3lb higher mark and has claims. |
100/30 |
|
1st 7 (8) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
1m2f win here (good to firm) kicked off a four-timer in 2023 for Tony Carroll but he took a while to rediscover his level before scoring at Chepstow (1m4f, good; first-time blinkers) for this yard one year ago; raced mainly over further without success since and latest start over 1m can be written off; handy mark and he's not discounted on just his second visit to Brighton. |

10th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |

Soundly beaten in sole bumper and pulled up on subsequent hurdle debut; has since left Matt Sheppard (remains in same ownership); hard to fancy. |

27th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Has finished runner-up on the Flat and over hurdles but has been struggling under both codes since returning from more than three months off; the new cheekpieces will need to make a difference. |
10/1 |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
14-race maiden; went close on the Flat at Kempton (1m3f, AW) last July, but he's struggled under both codes in four subsequent runs; now makes his handicap hurdle debut but he needs improvement back in this sphere. |
10/1 |

6th 8 (2) |
21st Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
13-race maiden who was well beaten in two 1m4f handicaps before another disappointing run back over hurdles last month; has placed form on AW but a bit to prove now. |

19th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Has bits of placed form on Flat and over hurdles, including in C&D contest in April; losing run remains the negative, as he is 0-13 since winning a bumper on debut. |
20/1 |

30th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 11y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Has only won a bumper; placed at about 1m3f at Lingfield (good to firm) and here (heavy) before losing his action and pulling up 17 days ago; should run well if back in good order. |
8/1 |
|
2 (13) |
13th Sep 2025 Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Bumper winner who was placed on the last two of his five Flat starts, more recently when third in handicap here (11.6f, heavy) ten days ago; could easily have more to offer over today's longer trip; big player. |

11th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
2-5 over hurdles, the latter win gained on handicap debut at Sandown (2m, good to soft) in March; may still have more to offer but some of the others here have stronger form. |
12/1 |
|
10th 8 (2) |
11th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Unexposed on the Flat and he scored on handicap debut when winning the Student Derby at Curragh (1m2f, good) for Andrew Slattery just under a year ago; largely campaigned over hurdles for this yard and he won at Plumpton (soft) and Sandown (also 2m, good to soft) in February/March under Conor O'Farrell; turned over at odds-on in a three-runner Plumpton handicap when last seen in April but far from ruled out on this Flat return. |
9/1 |

3rd Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 114y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Good-ground Flat winner who is improving over hurdles; won easily here on soft and did well to follow up in a steadily run race at Sandown (again 2m; good to soft); he's now 2-2 in the hood and probably still on a fair mark despite latest 5lb rise; the step up in trip is the grey area. |

3rd 12 (9) |
7th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Ended a long losing run at Lingfield (1m2f) in February and backed it up with a solid fourth of 12 in 1m2f handicap there the following month; considered. |
8/1 |
|
4th 9 (5) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
He had been badly out of sorts prior to popping up at 80-1 in a C&D handicap four weeks ago; still has handicapping scope up 3lb but it remains to be seen if he can back that effort up. |
5/1 |
|
1st 9 (5) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
His mark continues to tumble but he isn't giving any obvious indication he's likely to take advantage, failing to beat a rival on all three AW starts this winter. |
