13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Reeled off a hat-trick last September, with second leg over C&D (good); got back near best when scoring at Leicester (5f, good to firm) in the spring but he's been disappointing since and has been a long way below form in last two runs; down the list. |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Reeled off a quick hat-trick last September, including over C&D; better than ever when winning at Leicester in April (5f, good to firm); not so good since but he is now 1lb lower than for the Leicester win. |
14/1 |

28th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Well held in last two starts but he ran into two well-handicapped rivals when third at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) last month; now only 1lb higher than for his front-running win at Leicester in April and has claims if he can get back near that level. |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Five wins include one on AW, over C&D in late 2024; beaten under a length three times on turf in 2025 and he wasn't far away in a recent C&D classified event after a short break; weights chance back in a handicap. |
10/1 |

5th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple turf sprint and C&D winner; losing run stands at 18 starts and although he went close on turf at Redcar in November, he was below par in two AW starts since. |
16/1 |

18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Close second at Redcar last time; 0-15 this year and ran poorly in last four AW attempts but defied a 10lb higher mark at Southwell a year ago; very attractively handicapped and enters calculations. |

29th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has had more success on AW and his last turf win was in 2023; several bits of 2024 and 2025 turf form give him a good shout off this career-low mark but his more recent efforts are less encouraging. |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Beat Fierce by a neck when winning over C&D in March and he arrives here 7lb better off with his old rival; second run back from a summer break was better than the first and he should make a bold bid. |

29th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
Four wins last May-July, with no joy since; he finished close up four and five starts back, acts on soft and is edging down the weights, but he was never dangerous in Westgate Warrior's C&D race two weeks ago. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Four wins last May-July, with no joy since but he finished close up three and four starts back (his last two runs at 5f) before two lesser shows over 6f; beaten a head off this mark over C&D (good) in August, so a case can be made. |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Latest 6f run not the one to judge him on and his earlier 5f runs this year were both encouraging enough; on a dangerous mark if the new headgear has the desired effect. |
5/1 |

13th 3 (14) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Just one win since October 2023 and that came on AW; operating off a reduced mark now though and he has been keeping on late in 5f handicaps this spring; has his first 6f start in nearly two years but a tongue-tie is now added and he's not discounted. |
8/1 |

6th 5 (10) |
3rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Four wins divided between turf and the AW; some sign of returning to form from off the pace at Newcastle 20 days ago (5f); possible. |

4th Apr 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Two lengthy absences to his name and has lacked consistency since returning from 16 months off; this mark is within range if the first-time tongue-tie helps and he's on a going day but there are risks involved. |

4th Mar 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Two lengthy absences to his name and returns from a ten-week break today, having run below par at a short price latterly; otherwise he showed himself capable at this level in a couple of his runs last autumn and is one to consider. |
