30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Improved for a step up in trip/switch to handicaps last summer, winning twice on turf at around this trip (good to firm and heavy) before ending 2025 with a close second at Chelmsford (1m6f); still has potential after just nine starts and he's an interesting contender. |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Two wins at about 1m4f on turf this term; suffered a heavy defeat when favourite for 1m6f contest last time; something to prove. |

14th Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who won in good style here (11.6f, heavy) 11 days ago and is now 2-7; 9lb higher in a stronger race today but could easily have more to offer over the longer trip; needs to be taken very seriously. |

7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
2-36 with one of his wins coming here (1m2f, good to firm) in August last year, the other at Lingfield (11.6f, good to firm) in June; placed five times from six starts over C&D this year, but below form on soft the last twice; could do with the ground drying out, but considered if it does. |

15th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Got back on the scoresheet with an emphatic win in classified event at Lingfield (11.6f) in June; ran to similar level when runner-up over C&D last month but his form has nosedived in last two runs; now drops back in grade but has a bit to prove again and he's a frequent slow starter. |
14/1 |

11th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Used to be a notorious slow starter but he's been a bit better in that department since the summer and it was a solid effort in this headgear combination when second of five at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago; stayed on from the rear when third in an amateur riders' race over that C&D 12 days later; this is a notch above the standard he regularly contests, though. |

19th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Fared better when upped to middle distances before a blowout early last month; has since done better on the AW four weeks ago, when maybe stretched by 1m6f, but needs more off this mark. |
5/1 |

22nd Jul 2025 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
11st 6lb |
Got off the mark at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm) last month but ran no sort of race at Lingfield (11.5f, good) two weeks ago; returns to AW with a bounce back needed on his first try over this far; stable going well. |
15/2 |

8th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 133y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Off the mark at the 17th attempt when winning a Beverley handicap (1m4f, good to firm) in June; that came off a career-low mark and he's gone back up 5lb; still respected. |

7th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
C&D winner who resumed from five months off with a solid fourth of eight in 1m4f Lingfield handicap a week ago; not out of things off the same mark. |
10/1 |

4th 8 (6) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
8st 8lb |
Just low-level hurdle form on his last two starts; last year's Flat best, which came over C&D, would give him a squeak but others look stronger for win purposes. |
16/1 |

7th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Three-time winner on the Flat (1m-1m4f) but always in low-grade handicaps; will need to take very well to hurdling to pose a threat here. |

19th May 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Inclined to pull hard in this headgear combination for the first time on his comeback and that was a solid effort all things considered (Nymphaea fourth); always the danger he'll do the same under Hope Regan (0-16) but claims if settling. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 11 (2) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
10st 8lb |
Just one win from 17 starts but he reached the frame on numerous occasions over 2m/2m1f in July-October last year; ended 2025 on a low note but he's well handicapped on his best form and needs watching in market after five months off. |
7/1 |

18th Oct 2025 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |

Consistent on turf since upped to 2m/2m1f; recorded sole success at Wolverhampton and warrants respect back here. |

25th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up at Brighton (1m4f, soft) last September but he's been out of sorts under both codes since including a remote fifth over hurdles at Plumpton last week; blinkers now return but he's 1-30 on AW and has plenty to prove back on the Flat. |

16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Modest Flat handicapper; tailed off all three starts over hurdles, the latest in a C&D maiden (good; 250-1) last November; only eighth of ten at Southwell (1m3f AW) in January; handicap hurdle debut. |

29th Sep 2025 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Far from consistent at up to 1m4f in Britain and it remains a very long time since his French win; has failed to back up his June classified effort; new trip needs to have major effect. |
