25th Jun 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Left 2yo novice/maiden form behind, having been gelded and possibly aided by the fitting of a visor, when striking at Wolverhampton this month (6f handicap); penalised when only third at Yarmouth next time (the horse he beat at Wolverhampton turned the tables by finishing second again); is 2lb lower off his revised mark here; player with return to 7f likely okay. |

3rd 1 (6) |
12th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Built on some minor promise in his qualifying runs, with a win on his handicap debut at Wolverhampton (6f, AW; first-time visor) last week; has penalty back on turf but if he can match that latest effort, he'd still have a chance of a successful follow-up. |

3rd Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well held in three starts over 6f/7f on turf last year, since when he has been gelded; makes his handicap/AW debut in a first-time visor after 259 days off, but has been found a weak race; market may prove informative. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Enjoyed a busy and productive first campaign last year, winning three times at Yarmouth and posting a good second over this C&D (good) last September; respectable effort on last month's reappearance at Yarmouth and he's an each-way possible if benefiting from that latest outing. |

8th 4 (9) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Three-time course winner (two over C&D), the most recent coming last August off 13lb higher, and he was runner-up here over 1m in October off today's mark; below his best when last seen 182 days ago but he could bounce back on his return. |
7/1 |

8th 5 (12) |
21st Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Well suited by the track and his three C&D runs have yielded two wins and a close second; runner-up in 1m handicaps on his last two starts; creeping up weights but his course record means he can't be discounted. |

29th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
8st 8lb |
Dodgy form when third of five in a maiden before finishing well back in a handicap, albeit on heavy ground; now 0-18. |

14th Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
17-race maiden; not beaten far when third of five at Chepstow (5f, good) last month but that form is very tricky to evaluate (36-rated winner beat 1-12 favourite), and he's untested on ground slower than good to soft. |
12/1 |

3rd 1 (4) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Longstanding, regressive maiden (5f-7f) for three yards; more on his plate coming back out of handicap company but has place claims in such a weak affair. |

17th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
0-7; stayed on to be a modest third of five at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in a first-time tongue-tie in June and similar form when outpaced in first-time cheekpieces at Bath (5.5f, firm) three weeks later; gets both aids this time and this trip is probably worth exploring again. |

25th Jun 2025 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
0-6; stayed on to be a modest third of five at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in a first-time tongue-tie 22 days ago; that's now removed and better is needed returning to turf with the cheekpieces now applied. |
8/1 |

3rd Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Very little to get excited about in his five starts and hopes are pinned on the return to 6f and application of a tongue-tie making a difference. |

Ran well when second of nine at Leicester (1m, good) in July, but that was his only placing in 15 starts; others are more solid. |

10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
14-race maiden but was runner-up at Leicester (1m, good) on his penultimate run and ran respectably at Beverley (8.4f, soft) last time; mark has bottomed out now but Hollie Doyle is booked on this return to the AW and he could be dangerous. |
