20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
All five wins have been on turf, rattling up a three-timer in October 2024; it's been downhill since and while cheekpieces replace usual blinkers, he makes little appeal here. |

28th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

Finished second here just before Christmas but over 6f; struggled since, including over C&D latest; Sedgemoor is the more obvious of the stable pair. |

28th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won this race in 2023 and 2025; sharper for his reappearance when respectable fourth of 12 at Redcar (6f, good) three weeks ago and may come on again; a must for the shortlist. |
5/1 |

7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

Three wins and a second from nine visits to Redcar; looked as though the run would bring him on when in midfield at Thirsk 19 days ago; more appealing than many. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

A dual 6f scorer in 2025 but he also didn't prove the easiest to catch right; needs to hit the ground running after 165 days off. |

22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
14-race maiden but he returned to form with a creditable third at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) 17 days ago; that was more like it with blinkers added and has claims if he can back that up. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 7 (1) |
5th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
13-race maiden; has attracted support on a few occasions, including at Doncaster on her seasonal return, and could yet have a bigger run in him; blinkers replace the hood or cheekpieces worn on his last three starts. |
12/1 |
|
9th 11 (2) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
0-12 and well beaten at Newcastle when last seen in November; he was sent off favourite on that occasion and returns from a break off a 2lb lower mark; no doubt the ability is there to win races if the addition of a hood has a calming effect (often races too freely). |

22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Versatile sort who won three times last year including at Leicester (1m, good to firm) and over C&D (heavy); now 2lb lower than for her AW win in December but things have not gone well in two runs this season; got hampered by a faller when pulled up at Lingfield on Tuesday but she needs a major revival back at this track; yard also runs Neptune Legend. |
14/1 |

2 (12) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 135y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Bath (5.5f, heavy) and Kempton (6f, AW) last year, but she beat only one rival home at Kempton last month following a 63-day break; has won over 1m so this step back up in trip will be no issue, and she won't be inconvenienced by any rain. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
All five wins have been on turf, the last three over this trip; only 2lb higher than for his latest success (June 2025) and he reappeared with a promising effort over 6f at Leicester (good to firm) last month; looks interesting on this step back up in trip and he's versatile ground-wise. |
10/1 |

5th 9 (9) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Five turf wins at 6f-7f, the latest two over the latter trip on this track; he's had some excuses for low-key reappearances in the past but it's still a stretch to expect him to be on song for this one. |
8/1 |
|
6 (3) |
8th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Multiple 6f-7f winner, including on soft; latest success came in classified company at Leicester (7f, good to firm) in June; best effort in handicaps since was back there on his penultimate start; should be thereabouts. |

20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

Gained sole win over C&D; below-par favourite back here last time but the race possibly came too soon after an effort two days earlier; may rebound if taking well to first-time headgear. |

12th 15 (17) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
On a long losing sequence but he has started life well for John Mackie on last two outings, fourth of 12 in 5f Catterick handicap ten days ago; very much one to consider off the same mark with cheekpieces refitted. |
10/1 |

4th 10 (1) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Finished second in this race in 2023 (soft) and 2024 (heavy); good second at Wolverhampton on his stable debut (6f) two weeks ago; well drawn back on turf but his 18 turf runs have seen him steer clear of anything faster than good to soft. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |

No issue with this track, his last two wins over C&D (good to firm); knocking at the door lately, going close at Nottingham (6f, good to soft; beaten a head) a fortnight ago; should give another reasonable account. |

29th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
