11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 180y |
10st 2lb |
Three wins last year, at 5.5f and 7f, final start on firm ground at Bath; encouraging yard debut here last month when close fourth over conventional 5f; slightly longer trip here should suit so considered off same mark. |

Three wins last year, at 6f and 7f; going was fast for last month's 5f Bath win on his final start for Richard Hughes; any ease might harm his chance on Irish debut. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Five-time AW winner who was knocking on the door at Wolverhampton (8.6f/7f) in his final two starts in the spring; only 1lb higher than for his last run but this is tougher back up in grade and he's 1-25 on turf; has some work to do from high draw after a break. |

31st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |

One win (C&D) and three second-place finishes in six AW starts since October; front-running second, beaten a nose, over 8.6f here four weeks ago; in the mix again. |

Won over C&D in 2023 but better known as a 7f performer now; safely held over that trip here on last two appearances and needs to up his game. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Off the mark for James Owen at the 14th attempt when leading late on in a 6f handicap at Wolverhampton 16 days ago; returning to 7f no problem but a 4lb higher mark in a higher grade does ask more of him. |
4/1 |
|
1st 4 (2) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Plenty of near-misses to go with his only win, which came over 7.2f here off a 7lb higher mark last autumn; latest effort can be ignored but the emphasis will be more on speed, running in a sprint for the first time in a while. |
6/1 |
|
10th 10 (9) |
17th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Record of 0-12 for current yard but his form over this C&D includes sole success, which was gained off 9lb higher last October, and an encouraging effort (finished second) on Friday; fighting chance provided he belies recent inconsistency. |

2nd 7 (4) |
10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Took advantage of a lowly mark at Southwell in December and he has flourished since, adding two more AW wins over the winter and going in again at Salisbury (6f, soft) last month; second in two fast-ground handicaps since; should remain competitive but this test will be sharp enough. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 6 (6) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Gained his third success of the season when winning at Salisbury (6f, soft) last month and he was a good second of ten at Windsor (6f, good to firm) six days ago; steps back up to 7f with solid claims. |
11/8 |

2nd 8 (3) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

Gained a third win of the season in 6f Salisbury handicap 18 days ago, just holding on; this reliable sort can make his presence felt again nudged up 2lb. |

17th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Cost 600,000gns as a breezer in April 2024; consistent rather than progressive to date and although he wasn't beaten far at Wolverhampton 13 days ago, he didn't look an easy ride. |
8/1 |

5th 1 (8) |
4th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Made rather disappointing return from 343-day absence when well-held fourth in 1m Pontefract maiden last month but his three 2yo runs were all promising and he remains unexposed; switches to AW for handicap debut. |
5/1 |
|
4th 2 (5) |
18th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Absent since last October (gelded in interim) but could be a contender if retaining the promise shown on his three 2yo starts (7f/1m, good to firm/good); interesting to see how he goes in the betting. |

4th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Still a maiden after eight runs but was seemingly aided by first-time blinkers when close third over C&D 12 days ago and has obvious claims if in similar form again. |
3/1 |
|
8 (9) |
22nd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Fluffed his lines when odds-on for a C&D maiden in June and has run poorly a few times from the front since; inclined to pull hard since cheekpieces went on, so there are obvious risks on that front from stall 9 now switched to blinkers. |
16/1 |

25th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Runner-up in three of his six races and has the form to be competitive off this mark now into handicaps; however, needs to bounce back from his worst run yet when tried in cheekpieces. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner off 11lb higher last spring whose mark tumbled on the AW over the winter; back in form when second to Dion Baker here last time, in headgear (retained) for the first time in two years, and a 7lb swing entitles him to at least close the gap. |
12/1 |

2nd 6 (7) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
First visit here proved a winning one when taking handicap over this trip (good to firm) last May; flopped on his second go one month later and only bits and pieces of form since; career-low mark and cheekpieces (0-3) make a return after two-year absence. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Course regular; his latest third (8.6f) was a remote one behind an easy winner but it was still a creditable effort; no sign of age denting his enthusiasm and he should make another bold bid. |
8/1 |

3rd 5 (7) |
16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Three wins here in the winter to take his course tally to 11 but he's rather lost the plot since and doesn't often go beyond 7f these days; needs a revival. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Gained all three hurdle wins at Ludlow; kept on for second behind progressive rival there (2m, good) last month, after a break, but may not be ideally suited by this switch to a left-handed track. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 5 |
10th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Suited by good ground; proved resurgent when last seen five months ago, enhancing a strong C&D record that also features wins (off 2lb lower) in this race in 2023 and 2025 (faller in 2024); very solid claims kept to this scenario. |
9/2 |
|
9 (6) |
23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Hurdle win in May (2m, good); poor form on the Flat since August, failing to progress for handicaps on last two starts; should benefit from the step up in trip and he has run well on soft going over hurdles; risky but there are grounds for expecting better dropped in class. |
33/1 |
