Lightly-raced winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. 25/1, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to soft) 22 days ago by length from Fleetwater, driven out. More needed up 4 lb, but he's far from exposed.

Latest win at Wolverhampton in July. 22/1, bit below form fourteenth of 25 in handicap at Ayr (6f, soft) 34 days ago, not ideally placed. Yard may have a better chance with 2024 winner Knebworth.

Won 11-runner handicap (10/3) at Ayr (6f, heavy) 15 days ago, slowly away. 3 lb nudge fair enough and this 9-y-o is likely to give another good account.

16/1
16/1, below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Leicester (5f, good) 17 days ago. Blinkers back on and dangerous to discount given that he's now 1 lb lower than when winning this race in 2024.

Last of 12 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good, 14/1) 27 days ago, having hopeless task from position. First-time blinkers will need to eke out some improvement if he's to play a leading role.

Three wins from 4 runs this year, the latest at Haydock in May. Bit below form seventh of 18 in handicap (13/2) at York (6f, good to firm) the following month. Given a break since and it would be no surprise were he to get back on track.

17:10 Newbury - 24 October 2025 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

The consistent CHARLIE MASON looks the way to go on the back of a near-miss off this mark at Chelmsford last week. All ground-types seems to come alike to Tony Carroll's charge and he looks rock-solid. Sergeant Pep was third to Knebworth in this race 12 months ago, but has a good chance of turning the tables on these revised terms and he is second choice. Havana Rum and Woven both command respect, along with the William Haggas-trained pair, Maelstrom and Showering.
