6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Two wins came on heavy ground in the autumn; pulled hard and didn't see it out on his first crack at 1m on comeback but has to prove this career-high mark within range on his AW debut. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Record of 2-2 on heavy ground includes a Doncaster success (7f) in first-time cheekpieces when last seen; ideally needs same conditions, being 0-7 on other surfaces; steps up to 1m with the headgear retained. |

Progressed well as a 2yo, ending with a 6f win at Newbury (heavy; also stays 7f); has kept it low key in just three runs this season but more testing ground can play in his favour; now has a go in cheekpieces. |

29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won last summer's Carlisle Bell off this mark (1m, soft); ran well when fifth in the Spring Mile at Doncaster on his return before finding only his stablemate Milteye too strong at Ripon 13 days ago (1m, good to soft; Walsingham back in third); fully effective over C&D but he appears to have a preference for slower than good now and drying conditions aren't sure to suit. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

The vast majority of his wins have come on slow ground but the going was good when he was second in this race last year; reappeared with promising fifth of 22 in the Spring Mile at Doncaster and could be in the mix. |

Suited by ground softer than good; record of 11-52 on turf features a win off 2lb higher in the 2025 Carlisle Bell; respectable second to Prosperitas at Doncaster on last appearance; competitively weighted. |

9st 7lb |
Won twice on slow ground in the autumn of 2024; in and out in his three runs this year but his Leicester fourth last month (7f, good) brings him into the reckoning; a visor is now tried (ran well in one attempt in cheekpieces); further rainfall would aid his chance. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Campaigned mostly on turf and over 7f, winning twice (as a 2yo); latest effort was better than reappearance and suggested this return to 1m is worth exploring; could go well, provided he's as effective back on AW. |
10/1 |

4th 2 (5) |
13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Steady progress last season, winning at 7f and 1m; flopped in the Spring Mile first time back but showed his true colours when emerging from off the pace to beat a Beckett improver over 1m here recently (4lb lower); he should stay this far. |
13/2 |

7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Made steady progress switched to handicaps last autumn, winning over 7f at Ascot (good to soft) and 1m at Newcastle (AW); that makes his reappearance effort in the Doncaster Spring Mile disappointing but last year's exploits show he's better than that. |
10/1 |

8st 13lb |
Six wins last July-October, with the initial success over 1m2f/1m1f followed by four wins at 1m or 7f; good second on 1m1f reappearance this term but a disappointing favourite two weeks later; even if he's back to form, this sort of trip (tried twice before) poses a big question. |

11th 4 (8) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 4 |

Six wins last July-October (various ground) and campaign concluded with a near-miss over C&D; continued the good work when runner-up in a recent 0-95 here (1m1f, good) and he has leading claims back down in grade. |
7/2 |

2nd 12 (2) |

Only made her debut a year ago and won six times over 7f-1m2f on turf between July and October, five of them at Ayr; ended the campaign with a nose defeat here (1m, soft) and just 1lb higher, but not sure what to expect after five months off; 2lb out of the weights. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Flourished when switched to heavy and soft ground last autumn, winning over 6f and 7f; retains ability as a 3yo but he might have run better at Ayr last month when back on soft ground (first-time visor now discarded) and hard to depend on a turnaround. |
12/1 |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Likes testing ground as he showed when winning nurseries at Hamilton (6f, heavy) and Haydock (7f, soft) a year ago; has run with credit a couple of times in a light campaign this year, but still 4lb above his last winning mark; probably needs the new visor to make a difference. |

Prominent-racer who won nurseries at Hamilton (6f, heavy) and Haydock (7f, soft) last September; got back near best with close fourth at Chester (7.6f, good) in May but he failed to beat a rival at Haydock last time; has been up and down since last success and he comes with risks attached after a break. |

8st 10lb |
Underwent wind surgery prior to his Doncaster novice success last July (6f, good); ran well in a 7f handicap at York two weeks later but his form dropped off afterwards; gelded during his absence; dangerous mark but may find others having his measure now back from a break. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

Returned from wind surgery with a 6f novice win at Doncaster in July and subsequently achieved more when a close fourth of 16 in a 7f handicap at York in July; not so tempting on subsequent runs though and offputting he declined a soft-ground race last month. |

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. |

23rd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |
