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. |

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. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Slightly disappointing off this career-high mark when dropped back to 7f at Yarmouth last month but won twice over the straight 1m there (good to firm) in June and further progress is not yet out of the question. |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Course specialist who has won over 1m here on his last two starts (good to firm; for Taryn Langley), most recently 19 days ago off a 4lb lower mark than today's; needs things to drop right given the way he's ridden but he can't be dismissed now returned to 7f. |

26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Yarmouth specialist who turned things around with a comfortable success over C&D (good to firm) last week; only 3lb higher under a penalty and he's a major player again in his bid for a fifth course win. |

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 |

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. |
