2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Veteran (13-102); has won just once since late 2024, when edging out Pallas Lord over C&D (15-2) on New Year's Day; kept on after a slow start, fifth of seven, at Ayr (7f; 33-1) four weeks ago. |

Getting on for three years since his last turf success and this veteran hasn't been at his best at Newcastle of late; opposable back at 7f and returned to the grass. |

10th Jul 2025 Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Front-runner who won here over 7f last season (first-time blinkers); below her best at Newcastle (the scene of her three other wins) when last seen 103 days ago and now steps into class 4 company for the first time. |
12/1 |

8th 5 (9) |
29th Mar 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Front-runner who has turned in a string of good course runs since November, winning three times; latest second (6f) represented further improvement; another 2lb higher but set to go well again. |
9/2 |

2nd 2 (1) |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
10-47 on AW, with all bar one of those wins coming at Newcastle (7f-1m2f); now sits 3lb below his last winning mark, and Tom Kiely-Marshall's 5lb claim is a bonus, but seems to have lost his way; may strip fitter for 7f course comeback run. |
40/1 |
|
11 (2) |
19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Nine course wins to his name, mainly in the early months of the year; 50-1 for his C&D return a month ago, when well behind a few of these, and needs a big step forward. |
25/1 |
|
12th 12 (11) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Nine of his ten wins have come at this track (7f-1m2f) but last success was 13 months ago and he finished down the field here in his final two runs last year; looks opposable back from a break. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Fourth on all four appearances at Brighton; 29 races overall, with both his wins on Southwell AW last March/September; thrown in on that form but he was out of form this winter and on recent return to turf after five months off; others have more pressing claims. |
20/1 |
|
10th 15 (7) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Both wins have been gained at Southwell (6f/7f) but he was out of sorts there in his final three runs last year; on lower mark back on turf but he's 0-8 in this sphere and has something to prove after five months off. |
20/1 |
|
9 (4) |
29th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Respectable fourth over 6f at Brighton last time but shaped as if he ideally needs a return to 7f, which is his usual trip; still has a poor strike-rate. |

4th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Not far behind Spartan Fighter here last month and now 11lb better off; not so good at Southwell last time when the cheekpieces were left off; headgear back on today. |
6/1 |
|
9th 8 (8) |
22nd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Often slowly away, as when winning over C&D last February; three 6f runs since October have all been creditable and the step back up in trip could give him a lift. |

2 (10) |
18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Handy sort who is 1-1 here and ran well returned to turf when beaten a short head and a neck into third of eight at Hamilton (1m, good) a fortnight ago; ground faster than good probably not ideal, though. |
7/1 |

3rd 3 (8) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |

Ended a long losing run at Newcastle (7f) in February but below par both runs since, sixth in 8.5f handicap at Wolverhampton last time; has a rare run on turf now. |

29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |

Gained Newcastle win number ten in February; respectable sixth at Wolverhampton (8.6f) latest; it's hard to get excited by last year's turf exploits but he was runner-up over 1m here in April 2024. |

10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

9st 6lb |
5-40; runner-up to Without Delay over C&D (good to firm; in cheekpieces) last July and found another of these rivals - Roundhay Park - too strong at Ripon (in a visor) next time; ended last season on a downbeat note and no win since October 2023; monitor only. |

6th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |

Dual C&D winner for his previous yard in 2022 but has only once been back; second of nine at Catterick (7f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) before keeping on for third at Ripon (6f, soft; first-time visor) 18 days ago; returns to Brighton and steps back up in trip from a handy mark. |

Two wins in 7f classified events last month; runner-up in his last two completed starts; unseated rider early at Chester on Friday; each-way shout but hardly an unknown quantity. |

12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Fourth, nearest at the finish, to Hallowed Time in this last year; back with James Owen again and arrives in the midst of a productive spell, recent second-place finishes (visored) to add to earlier wins at Yarmouth and Brighton (7f); can often miss the break though, which isn't ideal at Chester. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 3 (8) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Nine of his ten wins have been on turf and he came from off the pace when good second off this mark at Brighton (6f; first-time visor) last month; has claims if he can repeat that form but he's 1-12 on AW and that success was in a claimer. |
