9th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won here over 7f in February either side of wins over this trip at Kempton; encountered a wide trip when down the field in a higher grade than this last time and he may well be able to bounce back. |

28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Arrives seeking a four-timer, two of the wins over C&D, and he hasn't been treated punitively by the assessor having gone up just 6lb; this is a much stiffer test of his credentials but there are no doubts surrounding his wellbeing. |

Has started 2026 with wins over C&D and in a small field at Wolverhampton (7f); only 1lb higher on the hat-trick bid but this is more competitive and he's drawn widest. |

7th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
In fine form last summer, scoring at Ffos Las (1m) and signing off with an excellent second over 1m2f here; set a lot to do on his return from eight months off when tenth in 7f Thirsk handicap 19 days ago; should strip sharper now and he's very much one to consider back up in trip. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Did well once cheekpieces were added last summer, winning at Ffos Las (1m, good to soft) and in the frame on four other occasions; can get it wrong at the start and that may be an issue dropping back to 7f. |

14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |

Strong through the line when winning at Ffos Las and third here, both over 1m; didn't appear to quite see out the extended 1m2f at Chester last time and might be vulnerable to stronger stayers. |

30th Jun 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Placed on stable debut at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) in early May but two lesser efforts have followed and he remains without a win since 2022; raced too freely in a visor on latest outing; cheekpieces tried here. |

6th 4 (2) |
12th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Losing run goes back to 2022; did make a positive start for new yard when third (A Major Payne fifth) at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) last month but a subsequent no-show at Leicester needs forgiving; now sports a combination of a refitted tongue-tie and first-time visor. |
12/1 |

6th 6 (7) |
26th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Losing run goes back to 2022 but he has course form (7f) and new yard has inherited one who's dropped a long way in the weights; looked to be on the way back when third at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) this month; good claims. |

30th Jun 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Now 2lb lower than when winning at Epsom (1m2f, good) last summer but yet to hit top gear after three runs this season (1m2f-1m4f) and today's drop back to 1m may not be ideal; cheekpieces removed after one use. |

30th May 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 198y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Gelded ahead of a fairly encouraging reappearance at Epsom (1m4f, good) in April but disappointing when seventh of nine at Lingfield (1m2f) 20 days ago on his first run on good to firm; that surface might be an excuse and he's now tried in cheekpieces; far from ruled out, albeit still needing to prove his stamina. |

Sole success in 15 came in a 1m good-ground novice here last season; below par this year with and without the hood; others preferred. |

8th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Did not progress much after her 1m Goodwood novice win last spring and reappearance (1m, AW) was clearly the best of her three results this term; the hood (absent last time) returns and peak 2024 form reads well but other runners are more persuasive. |

Short of her best on her last two starts but she lurks on a dangerous mark and she was second over C&D in January; not solid but a big run wouldn't be a total bolt from the blue. |

Progressed this year in handicaps, beaten by half a length at Ffos Las (1m, good to soft) when in first-time cheekpieces; turn looks near but this is a higher grade. |

23rd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Six-race maiden; heading firmly in the right direction (form figures 642) in handicaps this term, beaten only half a length at Ffos Las (1m; wore cheekpieces) most recently; turn looks near. |

30th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Hasn't really gone on from making a winning handicap debut in April; was rather wayward back on turf last time and connections opt for a visor rather than blinkers here; there's real hope for going beyond 8.6f for the first time on breeding; 7lb claimer returns to the saddle. |

Scored on handicap debut at Southwell (7f, AW) in April but is yet to make any significant further progress after three further AW starts (7f-8.6f; blinkers added last time); needs to kick on again on this return to turf. |

Not had the breaks this season, finding the drop to 1m against him last time (first-time cheekpieces), but ran way below market expectations on soft ground on his nursery debut last autumn, which would be a concern. |

30th Jun 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Six-race maiden; began this season with two perfectly respectable runs in the spring (8.6f, AW/1m2f, turf) but probably needs the new cheekpieces to generate some improvement here. |

2nd May 2025 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 5 |

Flopped at Pontefract (soft) on final 2yo run but, having been gelded, he was back to form when third of six in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) last month; needs to build on that but he did run on nicely from rear. |
