9st 4lb |
Progressive over 1m6f/2m on AW for new yard, until form dipped on finals day; drops back in grade but reverts to a different scenario; hasn't raced over 1m4f or tackled a Flat turf race since 2020 when trained in Germany. |

In great form since joining new yard and switched to AW, winning twice at Wolverhampton (1m6f) then good second, just over 1l behind Spartan Army, at Southwell (2m); now gets a 7lb pull with that rival and remains of strong interest. |

12th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
A model of industry and consistency on the AW and showed he can serve up much the same on turf when third of 15 at Thirsk (1m6f, good to soft) on penultimate outing; no show when 66-1 in the Northumberland Plate last time, which was his first appearance above Class 3. |

29th Jun 2024 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |

A model of industry and consistency on the AW (denied a clear run on penultimate start) and showed he can serve up much the same on turf on latest outing; effective at this track and at 2m (though usually seen over shorter) but he is 3lb out of the handicap and looks vulnerable. |

His form can be up and down and he wasn't at his best at Kempton a fortnight ago on his second start back from an absence; however, he was a good second at Chelmsford (1m5f) in November on his comeback and won over today's C&D in 2021 on his sole previous course visit; contender if bouncing back.

12th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Reached new heights during a pretty busy AW campaign prior to his creditable and none-too-lucky sixth in the 2m2f Chester Cup in May when last seen (finished lame); that was on good to firm and easily his best turf form, but he won on soft in 2022; withdrawn twice last month; on the Chester Cup evidence he could still be capable of better. |

Both wins this year have come on turf (1m4f), but he is a four-time winner on Tapeta; finished behind two of these when sixth of 13 at Newcastle (1m4f, Tapeta) seven days ago and has work to do in order to reverse the form on the same terms. |

Veteran who is very well handicapped on his summer 2021 form, including at this track, but he was beaten at least 20l in his latest five races; latest (January) came after 546 days off, so some lack of fitness that day could be forgiven, but a huge turnaround is needed. |
