30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Did well last spring and was placed five consecutive times last summer/autumn; now well handicapped on those exploits but beaten upwards of 8l on all four outings this year; can't rule out a revival but hard to be confident. |

7th 6 (16) |
13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Did well last spring and placed five consecutive times last summer/autumn; now well handicapped on those exploits but down the field in his three appearances this year; latest was in a 1m4f race at Chester last week, where he'd been runner-up the year before, so there are doubts currently. |

9st 4lb |
High marks for consistency of late and belatedly doubled his tally at Lingfield last month (1m4f, AW); better form when going down by a nose under same conditions next time and it wasn't much of a drop off when third at Windsor last week; hard to rule out. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 3 (4) |
18th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Just two wins from 25 starts but latest was at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) last month and he had a near-miss on his return visit three weeks ago; up another 3lb but he remains feasibly treated and his first win was on turf; strongly respected. |
7/2 |

2nd 7 (6) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Gained a first success (since his debut in 2023) when edging out Wonder by 1l in 15-runner handicap over C&D 24 days ago; 2lb worse off here but still not taken lightly. |

21st May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
1-12 on turf; returned to form when second at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) in September then went back-to-back at Kempton (1m3f, AW) on next two starts; slowly run series final didn't work out next time; not discounted on this comeback. |
8/1 |

13th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Two wins this summer, at Salisbury in July (1m2f, good to firm) and over C&D 19 days ago; hit with a 5lb rise but still feasibly weighted. |
100/30 |
|
1st 3 (8) |
24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Inconsistent but snapped losing sequence when winning at Salisbury (good to firm) in July; below form next two starts but close to career best when second at Doncaster (also 1m2f, good to soft) ten days ago; has run well here before and in calculations from the same mark (2lb well in). |

Won over an extended 1m6f at Doncaster in May but no progress since; could prove vulnerable dropping in trip. |
10/1 |

12th Jul 2025 Good 1m 6f 34y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Not had lots of racing and things were looking up when edging out a useful yardstick at Doncaster in May (1m6f, good to firm), only to then not beat a rival in his next two races (1m5f/2m); back to the drawing board. |
7/1 |
|
4th 3 (2) |
24th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Successful at Doncaster (14.5f) on reappearance, opening his account; last of five in 1m5f AW event since but looks likely to be better suited by this step back up in distance and return to turf; showed solid promise at Newbury on debut; may do better still and remains of interest. |

13th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Off the mark fitted with cheekpieces for the first time at Redcar in July (1m2f, good); hasn't built on that win in three runs since and hopes appear to rest on new headgear piquing his interest. |
10/1 |
|
8 (4) |
28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
0-2 on the AW but hasn't performed badly; it was over this trip when successful at Redcar in July (first-time cheekpieces; 3lb lower) and his subsequent fifths were fairly close ones; each-way claims. |
14/1 |
|
5th 7 (1) |
16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Off the mark at the ninth attempt when landing a C&D handicap (good; first-time cheekpieces) in July; held in fifth of 12 at Windsor last time but he was only beaten around 2l and that was a a creditable effort in a Racing League event; should go well again and he's in the mix. |

1st May 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won a 7f maiden on this card last year on his racecourse debut; struggled subsequently but this is a bit easier down another 3lb in first-time blinkers (wore cheekpieces when last seen); yard also run Jack Sparowe. |
12/1 |

13th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Led late to make a winning debut at Newcastle in May (7f); well beaten at big prices in two handicaps in August and the addition of cheekpieces isn't enough to tempt today. |

7th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Doesn't win too often on the Flat these days but he has been placed on his last two starts, chasing home Seraphic at Chelmsford four weeks ago (1m2f); each-way claims again. |
4/1 |
|
3 (8) |
27th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Prolific winning hurdler who opened AW account with clear win in amateur riders' race at Chelmsford in June; returned to the Flat with two below-par runs at Kempton this month, though, and has only dropped 1lb. |
