12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
No turf win since May 2022; has posted some decent efforts at Newmarket (6f, both tracks) this season, none better than when runner-up in June; cheekpieces are yet to elicit improvement but this appears a better option than Southwell (tenth of 14) last time; easing mark. |

25th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
He is on a competitive mark and has a course win on his record (7f); not beaten far at Newmarket this month when tried in cheekpieces for the first time; wide draw but he's not ruled out. |

Twice placed on the two courses here before his effort petered out tamely at Haydock two weeks ago; returning here has to rate a positive, as might the addition of cheekpieces. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Versatile trip-wise and six of his 12 wins have come at Windsor; on same mark as for his Sandown win last autumn and he's been running well on AW this spring; should get a good tow into this race and he's in the mix back at this track. |
11/2 |

3rd 3 (1) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
No AW win since December 2021 but there have been some good runs on both Polytrack and Tapeta this year, including C&D, and yesterday's 6f second was another sound display; wasn't helping his rider under pressure on that occasion and opposable for win purposes. |

6f wins at Newcastle and Lingfield this winter; not at his best at Newcastle (5f; tried in a visor) last month and the return of his usual cheekpieces isn't enough to tempt. |

Inconsistent but he ran one of his good races when a close third at Nottingham 19 days ago (6f, good to soft); fully effective over C&D; not ruled out for a stable that also run Nordic Glory. |

8th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |

Turf (good to firm) and AW winner over 6f; best turf RPR came on good to soft but other form on slow ground makes that look an anomaly; plenty to prove based on last three starts. |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Running well for Iain Jardine since February, including wins at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in March and Hamilton (5f, good) last week; unpenalised for that latest success, so 3lb well in, as he was when creditable third at Ayr (favourite) yesterday; should go well again if that hasn't taken it out of him. |
11/4 |

3rd 3 (5) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Showed a likeable attitude to get off the mark on turf at the 18th attempt at Hamilton (5f, good; Wee Mary fourth) on Friday evening; escapes a penalty for that and Mohammed Tabti is able to claim his 5lb allowance here; equally effective at 6f-7f; obvious chance. |

23rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

14th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

14th Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 160y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Not beaten far when fourth of five in recent 5f race won by Savannah Smiles (heavy ground) but is effectively on the same mark from 2lb out of the weights today and has very modest 1-33 strike-rate. |
16/1 |
|
5 (8) |
3rd Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Has the ability to win a race of this nature but can flatter to deceive and boasts a strike-rate of just one win from 32 starts; good effort at Wolverhampton six weeks ago but perhaps better on Tapeta nowadays. |
6/1 |

7 (11) |
22nd Jul 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
A few near-misses over C&D off higher marks since coming over from Ireland and didn't run badly on turf last time, when done for toe over 5f back from a break; wouldn't be a shock were he to pop up despite the wide stall. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Things didn't pan out for him when back over 6f here in April (first-time visor; cheekpieces now refitted) but he has a good C&D record, winning once and close up in all three handicaps; has a good run in him. |
10/1 |

4th 8 (1) |
17th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Went close here (7f) on his penultimate run but he's not easy to predict and was well held when favourite at Thirsk (7f, good) last Friday; needs to step up again after that and all of his three wins have been over 7f; first-time visor. |
15/2 |

7th 8 (4) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Three-time winner and has been shaping as though his turn could be near once more, going down narrowly the last twice at Wolverhampton (7f); can race keenly but if getting some cover from stall 4 he should be on the scene. |

22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Looks interesting on his second at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) in November but he took backward steps on final two runs last year; overall record is now 1-19 and he's yet to be placed in seven runs on turf; has work to do on return. |

24th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Only 1lb higher than when beating Colors Of Freedom over C&D last month; solid placed efforts on his last two starts (caught wide over C&D latest) and he should remain competitive. |

16th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won a similar race over C&D for Joanna Mason last month before again not looking to see out 6f next time; too many near-misses for comfort but holds similar claims to Captain Kinsella on Newcastle running four days ago. |
10/1 |

3rd 6 (3) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Again didn't look to see out 6f last time and is best judged on his previous 0-50 Wolverhampton victory; too many near-misses for comfort prior to that but will rightly be popular. |
