Ran quite well at Newcastle (1m, AW) and Ayr (1m2f, soft) in first two handicaps but his form slumped at Carlisle (1m, good) 25 days ago; record now stands at 0-7 and needs to resume his progress to make a serious impact.

23rd Feb 2024 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Big question mark over current form, having finished last in both runs for new yard this year; best watched unless there's a market move. |

26th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dual Flat winner for Tim Easterby including on Tapeta (1m2f) but having been off for a year he finished a well-beaten last of 12 on stable/Polytrack debut recently; this trip is more suitable but questions remain. |
11/1 |

10th Jan 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Turf (8.5f, soft) and Tapeta (1m2f) winner when with Tim Easterby; nicely treated based on his Newcastle third and fifth of 12 months ago (12.5f, Tapeta); hasn't raced since and now returns, having changed hands for 7,000gns last February; back down in trip; check the market for clues. |

Off the mark when landing an Ayr handicap (7f, good to firm) in July but he's been well held at 1m in all three subsequent runs; back on his winning mark but he's now 1-22 and others are more convincing.

19th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Turf (7f)/dual AW winner (a mile) who seems to stay 1m2f; below best since last win in January and off since June but back with previous trainer and booking of Hollie Doyle catches the eye. |

Still a maiden after 23 starts but he's finished placed in three of his five runs this season, including when third at Musselburgh (1m, good) last Saturday; was behind Chinese Spirit in that race but he has place prospects again with blinkers reapplied.

24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
All of his seven turf wins have come on good or slower ground but he's effective on good to firm; last success was 12 months ago but he's finished close up as favourite in his last two runs (1m/1m1f) and should be in the mix again. |
10/1 |

4th 1 (8) |
9th Aug 2024 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Two wins last summer (including over C&D on good) and back to form with good second at Ayr (1m, good) last week; on the shortlist. |
7/2 |

2nd 4 (10) |
29th Jul 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Below-par sixth here (1m2f) a fortnight ago but today's drop back in trip may well be a plus; in fair form prior to last time and not ruled out for trainer who has won four of the last seven runnings. |

Won over C&D in June and several creditable efforts on fast and soft ground since but he couldn't pose a threat at Ayr last Friday; drops back in grade but he needs to step up again after that last run and others are more persuasive.

10th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Sprung a 50-1 surprise over C&D in March; his last two runs haven't been too bad but likely a few of these will prove stronger. |
20/1 |

6th 9 (2) |
3rd Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Landed a 0-50 classified event over C&D in March and something of a return to form when third of nine at Ayr (1m, good) last time, but he still needs to find more to win this; can miss the break. |
11/1 |

3rd 5 (8) |
12th Aug 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Versatile ground-wise; multiple wins include this race in 2023; mixed this season but has had some excuses and he retains ability; has possibilities in an ordinary race. |

Virtually refused to race at Carlisle last month but besides that blip he's had a good season, including with a near miss at Musselburgh (1m, good to soft) last Saturday; only 1lb higher here here and he has won over C&D in the past; leading contender.

9st 0lb |
Veteran with nine wins to his name, latest of them over C&D (patiently ridden; led near finish) in August 2023, but 0-10 this season and he was well held on his most recent outing. |

27th Aug 2024 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |

Arrives in decent nick, a close sixth of seven in 1m Ayr classified event 15 days ago; took this prize a year ago so this veteran must enter calculations. |

12th Aug 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Both course wins came back in 2017 (1m and 1m1f); multiple winner since but things haven't been easy for him this year, including twice already this month; shade to find on these terms. |

8st 12lb |
Versatile trip-wise having been placed at up to 1m5f, while his latest win came over 6f here in December; rather in and out since and he failed to beat a rival at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) six days ago; others safer. |

17th Feb 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Strong at the finish when landing a 6f handicap at Wolverhampton in December; good late headway over 6f here last week too; hard to win with but he's capable at this level. |

Completed a Musselburgh double (1m/1m, good) in April but he's lost his way since and has form figures of 757678 in last six starts; well treated on form of that last win but he dropped right out over C&D last time and needs a major revival.

2-2 at Musselburgh, the wins gained over 7f/1m in April 2021; now a 9yo and looks far from solid on 2023 form (mostly AW) but the return to this venue gives cause for optimism. |
