1st 8 (1) |
23rd May 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
He had been knocking on the door prior to his 10.4f win at Haydock last summer; not so good since but he should be sharper with his reappearance behind him and he is only 2lb higher than for the win; unexposed at 1m4f and respected back on turf. |

4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Haydock winner (10.5f, good) last August and ended the campaign with a fine third of 14 over this C&D; off 222 days since, but he ran well on his reappearance last year; shortlisted. |
11/2 |

3rd 12 (7) |
24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
First two starts here but kept to turf subsequently; made the breakthrough at Haydock (10.5f) in August; lesser effort followed up to this grade at Newbury (1m2f, also good) three weeks later; still not ruled out. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Three-time AW winner who has rather stagnated in that sphere in 2026; record of 0-8 on turf but he was placed off higher marks in last two attempts; each-way possibilities, provided he's back in similar form. |

18th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won two 1m2f turf handicaps in May and has held his form pretty well since; drops back in trip after looking stretched by 1m4f three weeks ago; not favoured by the weights but likely to give another good account. |
11/2 |
|
5th 11 (10) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Won two in a row on turf in May (1m2f) and in the main has run pretty well in defeat subsequently; also effective on Tapeta; goes into the unknown stamina-wise today but could be thereabouts if seeing out the trip. |
11/1 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
9th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 100y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has held his form since two wins at 1m2f (good to firm and good to soft) in May; perhaps got competitive too far out last time at Salisbury but he doesn't look ahead of his mark. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Made it 0-11 when sixth of 12 on last month's reappearance at Wetherby but it wasn't a bad performance and he could improve for it; his reduced mark appeals on last season's best form and he's not ruled out. |
11/2 |
|
6th 12 (11) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Ten-race maiden; bits of form last summer that bring him into the reckoning and he kicks off his 4yo campaign with a tongue tie fitted; betting useful back from 236 days off. |
10/1 |
|
4th 5 (2) |
2nd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Remains winless but he's proving a reliable sort and comes here on the back of a good fourth of eight in 1m2f handicap at Haydock 24 days ago; he ought to be thereabouts once more. |

8th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Yet to win but he has finished second in three of his nine starts; quiet more recently and he still has to prove he wants this far, especially on a slow surface. |
12/1 |
|
5th 1 (3) |
9th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 100y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
0-8 and essentially very disappointing since his second on handicap debut at Haydock (1m, good); on the plus side, he responded well to the new cheekpieces on that occasion and now tries a visor; fairly treated should that experiment work well. |

4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Dual 1m6f Flat winner; made inauspicious start to hurdling career but seemed very much to be getting his act together when keeping on to snatch second at Doncaster (2m, soft) 12 days ago, and promises to be suited by today's step up in trip; leading contender. |
7/4 |
|
2nd 13 |
23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 128y Class 3 |
10st 3lb |
4yo who was progressive at an ordinary level on the Flat in autumn; took a step forward when fourth at Wetherby (2m, soft) last month on third hurdle start but beaten 18l and needs another chunk of improvement. |
66/1 |
|
2nd 7 (4) |
4th Oct 2025 Good 1m 5f 218y Class 4 |
8st 6lb |
3yo who's had seven races, coming good with a C&D win (upped from 1m2f) on good ground last month and following up by a short head in another five-runner contest at Southwell (1m6f, AW; rallied well) 11 days later; raised another 1lb; may well have more to offer at 1m6f+. |

9th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 100y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Twice runner-up in 1m handicaps but he's inconsistent and has stamina to prove over this far; blinkers, in which he's finished second and seventh, now return. |
20/1 |
|
7th 9 (4) |
27th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
3yo maiden; inconsistent (2727) since handicapping; not sure what to expect and he's taking on some recent winners. |
14/1 |
|
7th 12 (11) |
7th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Went close in first-time blinkers on nursery debut last September (1m, good), then flopped on soft ground; back on song with good second in first-time cheekpieces on reappearance at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) last month and this 3yo is a contender if the headgear maintains its positive effect. |

9th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 100y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Brother to Group 1 winner Snow Lantern but failed to raise his modest profile on handicap debut over this far (17-2); too much to prove. |
12/1 |
|
5 (8) |
24th Jul 2025 Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Brother to Group 1 winner Snow Lantern/half-brother to the yard's useful Midnight Gun; yet to be involved in a finish (1m) and absent since poor turf debut in the spring; interesting to see how he goes in the market. |
12/1 |
