16th Apr 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Odds-on winner of two novice events last summer, latterly at Leicester on good to firm, and he made it a hat-trick in smooth style on handicap debut at Newcastle (AW); underperformed back on turf on final outing but that was on soft; after only five races, all 7f, he should still bring potential. |

9st 9lb |
Promising fourth on debut at Newbury in May and has won his next three (7f, AW/good to firm), most recently last month's handicap debut at Newcastle; hit with 9lb rise but it was a smooth success and he could have lots more left in the tank; key player. |

2nd 4 (8) |
16th Apr 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Justified favouritism on the other course here (7f, good to firm) last August, adding to his debut win and improving on that form for the first time; up 6lb for this first race since, with Oisin Murphy (on board last time) back in the saddle; has had just four races and looks capable of better. |

3rd 7 (7) |
16th Apr 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
First-time blinkers when winning a Chelmsford maiden (7f, AW) in October on his sixth and final race for the Gosdens; sold for 28,000gns and came last when blinkered in November on handicap/stable debut, but he was hooded instead in 14-runner handicap at Doncaster (7f, good) 17 days ago and produced a late surge to score at 25-1; this 3lb higher mark does not look harsh but he switches back to blinkers this time. |

16th Apr 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Three wins last year and he arrived in the final 1f to score by a neck at Pontefract (5f) eight days ago; probably needs to hit a new high given his penalty but the striking issue is that all his wins were at 5f or 6f, with only one run (last November, admittedly close up) having been at 7f. |

Lightly raced 4yo who won three times last year (5f/6f, including on good/good to soft) and reappeared with good third at Newcastle last month (5f, AW; Ventura Express second); could build on that and is drawn well. |

Unraced on soft/heavy; off the mark in novice event here a year ago; progressive form in 7f handicaps of late, recording two clearcut wins then running well at Glorious Goodwood (only 2l behind Blue Prince) and York Ebor festival (close third); strong contender in current fettle. |

Best effort last term when going close in his bid to win Group 3 Hungerford at Newbury in August for a second time; smart 7f performer on his day but last scored in June 2023 and took his time to really get going last season. |

Had 7f handicap wins last June and September and he's now just 1lb above his last winning mark; well beaten on 2024 reappearance but went close on it the year before; player if he's on song for it this time round. |
