17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Prevailed by half a length in similarly big field at York (5.4f, good to soft; Class 4) two weekends ago, taking record to 9-39; yard has landed this race for the last two years; respected back down in grade, even with 5lb penalty. |

6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 89y Class 4 |

The bulk of his winning has been done on AW and although he went close behind Little Mi Mi at Hamilton last month, he looks vulnerable in this field. |

Most wins on the AW but able on turf and stayed on well for second here 20 days ago (good; might not prefer it softer); this is a better race but he'll appreciate chasing a strong pace if ground conditions are suitable; 2lb out of the weights. |

26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Last eight starts in classifieds and he didn't always get the breaks when third over C&D 12 days ago; that was one of his better recent efforts and he's firmly in calculations. |

14th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Regressive 8yo; running respectably at this level in 2026 but 2l behind Woodrafff at Newcastle last week; never threatened over 1m2f on Thursday; easy enough to look elsewhere. |

12th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Spent most of a long career racing at shy of 1m and didn't look to see it out in one try over this far (C&D); not as good now and can miss the break and/or pull hard, so comes with risks attached. |

26th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

Won two 6f handicaps at Newcastle last October but ended his 2025 campaign with a poor run and it a similar story on his seasonal return in May; absent since and likely vulnerable. |

9st 9lb |
All of his ten wins have been at Newcastle, including six over C&D; failed to beat a rival in his two runs this season but he bounced back with an emphatic win in this race last year; looks well handicapped on that form and is a player if he can get back on track. |

Tumbled down the weights last year before undergoing wind surgery; was inclined to pull hard and didn't see it out on his Tapeta comeback, and the suspicion is he'll be back at some point. |

21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Runner-up in a classified event over C&D last month but he's hard to predict and was last of eight in a handicap here two weeks ago; finished behind three of today's rivals in that race and that took his losing run up to 18; others preferred. |

His handicap mark has bottomed out and there have been more encouraging signs on his last two starts, second in a 0-50 classified over C&D 15 days ago; more required today. |

Finds his one race a year, which in 2024 was a C&D 0-70 off 3lb higher (good to firm) on his sole previous course visit; unable to race as prominently as preferred at York latest, and back in calmer waters here. |

Has a better strike-rate on the AW (4-26) than on turf (3-39); 4lb below his last winning mark, but has to put a modest effort at Ayr (5f, good to firm) last month behind him. |
