26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Creditable third under his trainer in the Leger Legends race at Doncaster (1m) last time, having attracted strong support; has done his winning over 6f/7f and warrants respect back down in distance. |

Raced only four times for Adam Kirby, who rides him today; 6f winner on second occasion; slowly away then kept on late over 7f here last time; possibly worth another crack at 1m; interesting. |

11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Got up late to win a 6f handicap at Brighton last month; disappointed at Catterick on Tuesday and this is tougher from 3lb out of the weights; has been rated much higher in the past though. |

8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Three Polytrack wins came over 7f-1m and found stamina kicking in late when winning off 3lb lower in a big field over this trip at Brighton recently; will want a similarly good test round here, and not too much rain (since taken out on good to soft ground). |

14th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Secured his fifth win when scoring at this track (7f) last October off this mark; hasn't hit the same heights since and best watched until showing more positive signs. |
9/1 |

7th 13 (9) |
30th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
All five of his wins have been on the AW, the most recent at this track over 7f last October; wasn't at his best at Epsom (8.5f, good to firm) in July and a wide trip can be given as an excuse for a below-par effort here over 7f last month; each-way claims. |
20/1 |

8th 8 (9) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
5-21 on AW compared to 0-11 on grass; struggled off his lower turf mark at Epsom four weeks ago but he had reappeared with a creditable effort here previously and his last success was over C&D; could be dangerous if he gets a good pace and some luck. |

27th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Retains plenty of vitality despite his advancing years; however, form dipped last time when bidding for a Chelmsford double; gained the most recent win in a lower grade. |
14/1 |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Triple C&D winner who took advantage of a reduced mark when coming from rear to score at Brighton (7f, good) in August; remains well treated on old form but his spark was missing at Kempton last time and he needs to step up again after that. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
It was a fourth AW success when scoring at Lingfield (7f) last Tuesday, but he knows how to get it done on turf too and his previous second of six over C&D (good to firm) was a creditable effort; has won off this mark and Billy Loughnane takes over; player. |
2/1 |

1st 2 (5) |
4th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Trainer has won with his last three runners and has a good course record with older horses (10-35); this 5yo is 3-3 round here, is fairly treated, in form and won't be hurt by going back into a bigger field as a hold-up runner; leading player. |
9/4 |

2nd 2 (1) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Last win came at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) in May 2025; has slipped to a dangerous mark and any market support should be noted. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Returned to form to win over here over 7f a week ago, beating six rivals; a 5lb penalty still leaves him on a handy mark based on last year's form and he's relatively unexposed on the AW; contender with the step back up to 1m no concern. |
3/1 |
|
6 (5) |
16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
On a reduced mark but he's been well held in his last five runs and is now 0-17 since his last win in August 2024; withdrawn after refusing to enter the stalls at Kempton last week, but he was 7-2 at the time. |
11/2 |
|
5 (3) |
10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
On a reduced mark but he's not been on top form in 2025; drops back down in grade today but others are more appealing for win purposes. |

3rd 9 (8) |
5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
He's not consistent but he won over C&D last November and ran really well when second of 18 at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) three weeks ago; major player if he's once more on song. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 10 (16) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has gained all wins at shorter, including three times off higher marks at Doncaster; however, not disgraced over 8.5f last time and enters calculations back here. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 3 (8) |
27th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Should be making a big impact at this level and he is 1lb lower than for his Southwell win (7f) in November; still to convince he wants this far though. |
