15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Lacks both consistency and recent match practice (absent for 200 days) but holds a fighting chance provided he's in top form; has gained both handicap wins off 2lb higher, including over C&D (good) last July. |

27th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

Won a 1m novice here easily as a 2yo when trained by the Gosdens; back off the same mark as when successful at York (7f, good) in July and wasn't beaten far, albeit only eighth of 14, at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) 19 days ago; not ruled out. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Two AW wins in the winter (9.4f/1m2f); it's possible he's gone off the boil but when beaten 8l in ninth of 13 at Newmarket a fortnight ago he was denied a clear passage before keeping on nicely; not ruled out each-way back up in trip. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |

Won at Wolverhampton (9.4f) in December and over this C&D in January; below best at Wolverhampton (8.6f) latest and he's running in a higher grade than he's used to, but he has an each-way shout on the pick of his winter form. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Signed off for 2025 with 1m win at Southwell; looked rusty after five months off when eighth of nine in 1m Pontefract handicap last month; took this prize in 2024 so not dismissed with usual cheekpieces refitted. |
12/1 |
|
8th 1 (2) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Added another two 1m wins to his CV in 2025, including on AW when last seen in November; this 2lb higher mark shouldn't prove beyond him but his record fresh, allied to the absence of cheekpieces (worn on last seven starts), suggest this may not be his day. |
8/1 |
|
5th 2 (13) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
4lb higher than when beating 18 rivals here (1m, good) in July and was having his first go over this sort of trip when third of seven at Redcar (1m2f, good) last time (winner has gone in again since); needs to prove his stamina in this much bigger field, though. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Just three wins from his 47 starts, the latest back in June 2024; however, he was short-headed off this career-low mark at Hamilton (8.3f, good to firm) last Wednesday and could be in the mix once more; versatile ground-wise. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 4 (3) |
27th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Not a prolific winner but he is operating off a reduced mark and there were more encouraging signs dropped to a Class 5 at Thirsk 11 days ago; another 3lb lower today and minor money could be on the cards. |
5/1 |
|
6th 8 (4) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |

Not badly treated on his best form at about 1m but his losing run goes back nearly two years and he's dropped right out in both runs this year. |

27th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
AW race in December when visored first time is his only win for this yard from 21 attempts; last three starts (switched to cheekpieces; also tongue tied latest) reiterated, however, that he's still likely to be competitive if he takes to this track. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 6 (11) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has had some mixed results in 2026 but he had his path blocked when only just failing against Hale End at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) in April; travelled within himself but took an age to pick up when a never-nearer fourth at Ayr since and now has a tongue-tie added; capable of going well. |
6/1 |
|
4th 2 (5) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Only 1-19 in Britain but he proved resurgent and looked unlucky in new headgear at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) nine days ago, going very close despite meeting traffic issues; respected off same mark in retained cheekpieces. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Most of his 14 races at York have been over 7f, including wins in this race in 2024 and another last June; absent since second on AW in January and that's the longest break he's had for two years, which asks a question, but he has to be considered off his last winning mark. |
16/1 |
|
2nd 7 (3) |
23rd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Easy to make a case on last year's peak form but signed off with two quiet runs and now back from three months off; not without hope if the break has done him good; has form here. |
14/1 |
|
11th 7 (7) |
25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Enters the equation on best 7f form this year but his latest run at York, where he often goes well, was a letdown; seems to handle heavy ground, having finished close up in his sole attempt on it, but it's not necessarily a plus and he has a shade to prove now. |

5th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 70y |

15th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 3 |

Disappointing at York (1m, good) last month but this 3yo was progressive previously and won at Sandown (1m, good) two starts ago; could have a big part to play if rediscovering the Sandown promise. |

8st 7lb |
Prominent-racer who won twice during last season's 3yo campaign (1m, good to soft/good to firm) and returned to form when third at Redcar (1m, good) last Thursday on his second start of the season; it's possible this new trip will be within range and he has an each-way shout if seeing it out. |

3rd 5 (2) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
This C&D brought out the best in him last season, with two wins in the summer (good to soft/good to firm) and a close third of 13 in the autumn; faded as if needing his reappearance back here 17 days ago and ought to be sharper now. |

14/1 |
|
9 (7) |
7th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Encouraging start to career last summer (including here) and he tapped back into that 2yo promise to win at Beverley (7.4f, good) in April; however, he hasn't shone the last twice and has something to prove. |
16/1 |
|
5th 1 (2) |
17th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |

Doesn't always looks the easiest, but has finished runner-up in both starts on Tapeta (including over 7f here) and got off the mark at Beverley (7f, good) in April; made little impression in the Silver Bowl at Haydock last time, but respected back in calmer waters. |

Not far away in one of these big-field C&D races last July; showed at Doncaster that month that he can win on turf and he's not been far away in any of his races this year, so he has place claims. |
16/1 |
|
5th 2 (5) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Last win came on Chelmsford Polytrack (7f; from 4lb lower) last October; kept in decent form (4224243) this year, a sticking-on third at Nottingham (8.5f, good) 12 days ago to Saturday's Ripon scorer Highland Olly; Paul Mulrennan is a noted booking. |
4/1 |

3rd 2 (9) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |

7th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Two wins last year (including C&D) and he's 7lb below his last winning mark; there has been the odd bright moment this season and he was a close fourth of seven at Redcar a fortnight ago, but it's been a regressive campaign and it's hard to be confident regarding his claims. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |

Well handicapped now, lower than for last season's two wins (both 1m, good to firm), and notable that he was sent off favourite at Chester three weeks ago (extended 1m2f, good to firm); could not reward the support, again unable to pick up from off the pace, and he is risky, for all he has the ability if things set up favourably. |
