1st 4 (16) |
15th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Made giant strides last year, notably when getting up late in the Portland at Doncaster (5.5f, good); better than ever when overcoming a troubled passage to win at Musselburgh last month (5f, good to soft); hard to believe he's not still well treated up 4lb and he looks every inch a Pattern-racer in waiting; whether today's combination of a fast 5f on quick ground will see him to best effect remains to be seen. |
7/2F |
1st 3 (9) |
19th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
took keen hold, in touch with leaders, switched right when not clear run over 1f out, headway inside final furlong, ridden to lead inside final 110yds, cosily |
7/2 |
16th 16 (4) |
21st Sep 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Ended his 2023 campaign with a third of 20 in a 5f handicap at this meeting; he's made giant strides as a 4yo, winning 5f handicaps on good to soft at Musselburgh and Thirsk in the first half of the year before taking his form to a new level with a last-gasp win in the Portland last week (5.5f, good); 3lb wrong under his penalty but he overcame adversity at Doncaster and his style of racing means it is hard to gauge where his ceiling lies; one of two good chances for Jim Goldie. |
5/1 |
1st 16 (22) |
14th Sep 2024 Good 0m 5f 143y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
4yo who has enjoyed an excellent campaign, including two wins earlier in the season (5f, good to soft) and a close third to Shagraan off this mark at Haydock (5f, good) last Saturday; won at Carlisle last September when he last tackled 6f and there's every chance he'll be bang there. |
9/1 |
3rd 5 (11) |
7th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Two wins from five races this year, latest at Thirsk (5f, good to soft) in June; close second to Jer Batt over C&D (good) next time, runner-up at Pontefract (5f, good to firm) since and there's every chance he'll continue to progress, especially if settling better than last time; key player. |
4/1 |
