Belatedly back in winning form the last twice, readily beating Cracking Gold at Southwell (1m) then holding on narrowly in notable handicap at Wolverhampton (8.5f); looks better than ever. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Dual course winner who scored twice at Wolverhampton (7f/8.6f) in March; only 1lb higher than for his last win and he's had excuses with traffic issues and a slow start in last two runs; should get a good tow into this race and has possibilities if he gets the breaks; cheekpieces reapplied. |
12/1 |
|
6th 3 (10) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Two wins and a near-miss to his name in eight starts here and boasts a decent record in the spring down the years, added to when he went in twice at Wolverhampton in March; hit traffic last time and the harder they go the better for him. |
7/1 |

4th 6 (9) |
25th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

Returned to winning form at Wolverhampton (8.5f) last month and followed up back there (7f) seven days later; back up in grade in search of a three-timer and although this looks tougher he cannot de discounted. |

7th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Smart performer on AW, winning this race in 2024 and third 12 months ago; cheekpieces have given him a lift of late, winning a 7f handicap at Kempton ten days ago; still on a handy mark and he is sure to be popular. |
7/1 |
|
1st 3 (4) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Goes well fresh and should cope if it gets tactical given all three of his C&D wins were achieved in single-figure fields; pushing two years since he last got his head in front but the handicapper is giving him a chance and he responded well to first-time cheekpieces (retained here) when fifth over track and trip last time; of significant interest. |
7/2 |

1 (10) |
6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Record of 4-13 on AW and 3-4 at Kempton; below par returned to this sphere ten weeks ago and losing run is mounting up but a revival would put him in the picture; 1lb below last winning mark. |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Without a win since his second start as a 2yo, but several good efforts since as when beaten a length into third of 24 in the Newbury Spring Cup (1m, good ) last month; Ryan Moore keeps the ride and rain shouldn't be an issue, but the draw could have been kinder. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 16 (22) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
On a 14-race losing sequence but he was runner-up three times last term, including when beaten a head at Glorious Goodwood (1m1f, good); went off third favourite in a big field at the Curragh on reappearance but didn't give his running; on a retrieval mission with Ryan Moore booked. |
12/1 |

11th 5 (7) |
15th Mar 2026 Heavy 1m 0f 0y |

0-13 since winning in 2023 on his second start but he went close at Goodwood (1m1f, good) last August and again finished second at Yarmouth (1m1f, soft); an interesting runner despite uneven form. |

3rd 2 (5) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
He was making his seasonal debut when only fifth in this race 12 months ago but he's been kept on the go this winter and has been better than ever; suspicion others will prove better handicapped here though. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 5 (7) |
7th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
He has been a fine servant to connections and added wins eight and nine to his tally in 2025, the latest a 1m handicap at Kempton in November; ran as well as he ever has when second to an upwardly mobile 4yo over C&D five weeks ago but even that effort will need bettering in this field. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Continues to edge down the weights and he's well treated on the pick of this winter's course form; however, he appears to have gone off the boil on his last few outings and needs to raise his game. |
8/1 |
|
6th 9 (5) |
11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
2lb lower than for his Newcastle win in December but his form has gone off the boil more recently; Billy Loughnane, who was aboard for the Newcastle win, is back on today so a revival wouldn't be a bolt from the blue. |
10/1 |
|
6th 4 (7) |
28th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Currently in a progressive vein of form and justified favouritism at Ripon (1m) most recently, making it three wins from last five outings and taking overall record to 5-14; difficult to dismiss. |
9/1 |
|
1st 2 (8) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
Handy sort who has won twice this summer, at Sandown (1m2f, good) and Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW); ran well when third of nine off this mark at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) 11 days ago, but has something to prove back in trip. |
4/1 |
|
5 (4) |
14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Made the running for three of his four wins, one over 1m2f at Sandown in June (from Andaleep on good ground; unraced on firmer); just hung on when back on AW at Wolverhampton (9.4f) two weeks ago and raised another 2lb since but needs respect on the back of a career best. |

17th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 11lb |
Ended a long losing sequence with a 10.5f Cork win last month under this rider (good to yielding) off 5lb lower; didn't appear to appreciate drop to 7f back at Cork last time when staying on for seventh (short head behind Dark Viper); others more likely. |

3rd May 2026 Yielding 0m 7f 0y |

1st 12 (13) |
24th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 2f 100y |

Seven-time winner, last win at Dundalk in February 2024 off 3lb higher; some good efforts last year, including over this trip on the AW, and creditable run in the circumstances (slowly away) at the Curragh on latest under today's rider; one to consider. |

6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

14th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Good seventh of 23 here in the Cambridgeshire when second home on his side; not much went right on UAE debut at Meydan (1m, good) in January but he was a solid fifth of 16 over that C&D a fortnight later and is now back down to his last winning mark; C&D winner who looks a key player. |

Won two in a row in May (1m, good; including here); merely midfield at Goodwood 34 days ago but that was his first run for three months and he may have needed it; not discounted in view of previous, progressive form. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Too headstrong in a clear lead at Southwell (7f) last time, so did fairly well to be beaten only 2l in the end; gained last win off 10lb higher at Newcastle in August 2024; fighting chance provided he settles. |
10/1 |

23rd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Well treated on last year's high points and it wasn't a bad run from off the pace at Chelmsford 12 days ago, given how that race panned out (pulled hard/got behind/found trouble); the cheekpieces are worth persevering with. |

Responded well to the fitting of a visor when winning easily on his Kempton return (1m, Polytrack) in February, but twice disappointing since and still 7lb higher; enough to prove. |

7th 2 (1) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Very disappointing when last of five behind City Of God in a Chelmsford seller (1m, Polytrack; 4-7) last time but perhaps the run came too soon after gaining second C&D success eight days earlier; a player if bouncing back. |
6/1 |

5th 4 (3) |
26th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Returned from a 131-day break to win a Class 5 Kempton handicap in fine style last week (visored first time; won the corresponding race 12 months earlier); solid weights chance if the headgear is as effective a second time. |
