9th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won here over 7f in February either side of wins over this trip at Kempton; encountered a wide trip when down the field in a higher grade than this last time and he may well be able to bounce back. |
8/1 |

8th 11 (8) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Arrives seeking a four-timer, two of the wins over C&D, and he hasn't been treated punitively by the assessor having gone up just 6lb; this is a much stiffer test of his credentials but there are no doubts surrounding his wellbeing. |

1st 6 (8) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Has started 2026 with wins over C&D and in a small field at Wolverhampton (7f); only 1lb higher on the hat-trick bid but this is more competitive and he's drawn widest. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 213y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Gradually back to form this term, most recently prevailing at Goodwood (6f, good to soft); has never won above Class 5 but she remains favourably treated, having defied current mark last term (over 7f). |
4/1 |

1st 8 (3) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Strike-rate of 4-35; best run for a while when a front-running second at Lingfield (7f, good) and dropping back to 6f won't hinder, nor the slower ground; could have done with a higher draw ideally but should run well. |
13/2 |

2nd 8 (5) |
26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Out of the frame in her last ten starts, but is 4lb lower than when making all over C&D this time last year; by no means written off. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Multiple winner on turf/AW but his form has dipped since a July double over 7f on good to firm; others are preferred . |
20/1 |

7th 2 (2) |
24th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Went up the weights for back-to-back 7f wins on turf in July and held since despite Toby Moore claiming his allowance; Billy Loughnane takes over but could be vulnerable off current mark. |

2nd 2 (10) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
2-5 over C&D; scrambled home to justify favouritism from Operation Gimcrack (runs in first division) in this last year; placed numerous times since, including at Yarmouth (7f; 10-1) on penultimate start; slow start scuppered chance latest. |
5/1 |
|
7th 6 (7) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Both turf wins have been over C&D on good to firm, the latest last August; close third to a subsequent winner at Yarmouth last time (7f, good to firm) and has a fair chance here. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 (8) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Both wins on turf have been at Doncaster (7f) on good to firm; close third of 11 at Newcastle (7f, AW) in December but ran below his best when last seen 147 days ago; break may have done him some good. |

10th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Not easy to win with but he has a C&D win on his record and he didn't run badly here on his penultimate start; usually worth taking on. |
10/1 |
|
8th 4 (8) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Two wins from 23 starts include one here over 7f at April; left the impression he's still in form after missing the break here over 7f last week but he's been well beaten in two previous tries over 1m; stamina to prove. |
9/1 |
|
4th 8 (9) |
13th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Does a lot wrong in his races (often misses the break and/or pulls too hard) but he has two 7f AW wins to his name, including off this mark over C&D in April; others are more appealing this time. |

28th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
10st 9lb |
Veteran who does most racing over shorter now; didn't offer a lot back from a break over C&D last Monday and is some way down the pecking order. |
33/1 |
|
11th 7 (9) |
21st Sep 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple winner at this venue and showed he can still be competitive when third over C&D in June; others still preferred for win purposes. |
