Over two years since his last win and his latest 1m run here was a poor one; better expected now dropping into Class 6 company though. |

9st 8lb |
Both wins have come here (6f/7f), the latest two starts ago; kept on for 2l fifth of 12 over C&D last time on her first crack at 1m and can better that performance when getting a stronger gallop, but there are doubts on that score this afternoon. |

25th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Snapped losing run of 25 when seen to advantage (pace was contested and it set up for the closers) over 7f here four weeks ago; 4lb rise is of no great concern but tackling 1m for the first time raises a question. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Front-runner who is probably best known for his exploits at Brighton; won there (7f, good to firm) in June and was placed from favourable draw at Chester (7f, good) last month but finished well down the field when last in action and might find others better treated. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Likes to get on with it and he registered the latest of his six wins when making all in five-runner Brighton handicap (7f, good to firm) last month; went off too quickly next time but his third at Chester was a solid effort two weeks ago; same mark and this is tougher, though. |

Multiple AW wins include two over this C&D, although his most recent success came on turf in April; has taken rather a drastic wrong turn since, though, and refitting cheekpieces (now discarded) made no difference back on this track last time. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Added to his two turf wins when finishing well to score on AW at Lingfield (7f) last October; hasn't hit the same level in two subsequent runs but he returned after wind surgery with a fair third in a Class 4 at Salisbury (7f, good) last month; looks worth another try at this trip and he's in the mix on this drop back in grade. |
