17th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Found a Newcastle handicap run to suit when winning over this trip in January but has otherwise done most racing over further; the early impact of the visor may have worn off now and he was inclined to pull hard when well held back on turf a month ago. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Ran on well to win a 5f handicap at Newcastle in January; not quite so good back there six days later but he is feasibly weighted and 6f on good ground no problem; stable operating at a fine strike-rate in 2026. |

Refitted with a tongue-strap when back to form to land C&D handicap six days ago; needs to back it up under a 5lb penalty with headgear retained. |

10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Heavy-ground turf win last October and he comes here on the back of second-place finishes at Newcastle (5f) and here (6f); sneaking back up the weights but should give it another good go. |

20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

Both of his wins have been on turf, with the most recent coming at Bath (5.7f, heavy) in October; went from the front when beaten a neck at Newcastle (5f, AW) 20 days ago and won't have an issue with the return to this trip. |

17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |

Wins have all come on Tapeta and does most racing now at Newcastle; decent second there last time, back up from 5f, but this is stronger and he's far from certain to repeat the effort. |

Won at Wolverhampton (6f, Class 5; 6-4 favourite) in March but below that level in three subsequent starts, 2l fifth of eight at Musselburgh (5f; 15-2) latest; vulnerable on those performances. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Off the mark at the 17th attempt when leading late at Catterick last month (5f, good); beat a subsequent winner on that occasion but a 5lb rise might prove beyond him. |
6/1 |

1st 7 (10) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
16-race maiden but he's capable and got no run at Southwell (AW) on penultimate start and was poorly drawn at Pontefract (also 5f, good to soft) a fortnight ago; placed on all three starts here and the breakthrough is far from out of the question. |
8/1 |
|
10th 9 (11) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Exposed maiden but has plenty of ability for one of his rating; unable to show what he could do at Southwell four weeks ago when trapped behind a wall of horses from 2f out; double-figure draw to contend with today but he should be winning soon. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Back to winning ways at Wolverhampton (5f) in January and suffered a poor run when sixth of ten over C&D last time; ought to be thereabouts. |
7/1 |

6th 2 (4) |
31st Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Took advantage of a favourable mark when scoring at Wolverhampton (5f) four weeks ago, but he was well below that form at Southwell last time; remains well handicapped on old form but he needs to step up again after that last run. |
11/2 |
|
6th 1 (8) |
21st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Dropped out over 5f two starts ago but good efforts at 6f either side of that and he's 11lb lower than a close fifth of ten over 5f on this track in January; can be on the premises. |

8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has run well over C&D, including when a close third in this race 12 months ago, but the track doesn't always lend itself to his hold-up style; drawn widest and could prove vulnerable, for all he is attractively weighted. |
7/1 |
|
6th 9 (8) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Pounced to grab Thank The Lord (who, when factoring in riding arrangements, is now 6lb better off) over C&D three starts back; has lacked the pace to stake a claim in two C&D starts since; likely to need everything to fall his way. |
25/1 |
|
7th 10 (6) |
31st Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 5lb |
Last three wins have come over C&D and latest was off 3lb lower last month; never got involved here last time but that was against a pace bias and he should get a good tow into this race; not ruled out. |

Seven wins, the latest at Newcastle in December off a 6lb lower mark; good second off 1lb lower back at Newcastle in March but well held back on turf at Doncaster later that month; freshened up since. |

Seven wins, the latest at Newcastle in December off a 6lb lower mark; good second off 1lb lower back at Newcastle 24 days ago; should give his running but others may prove better treated. |

2nd 10 (8) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Gained a third C&D success in December and largely in good nick since, fourth of nine over C&D two weeks ago; ought to be in the shake-up. |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |

Latest 6f run not the one to judge him on and his earlier 5f runs this year were both encouraging enough; on a dangerous mark if the new headgear has the desired effect. |
5/1 |

13th 3 (14) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Just one win since October 2023 and that came on AW; operating off a reduced mark now though and he has been keeping on late in 5f handicaps this spring; has his first 6f start in nearly two years but a tongue-tie is now added and he's not discounted. |
8/1 |

6th 5 (10) |
3rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

Four wins divided between turf and the AW; some sign of returning to form from off the pace at Newcastle 20 days ago (5f); possible. |

8st 10lb |
Well backed when winning a 5f handicap at Pontefract (soft) last October but hasn't matched that since, including beating only one home over C&D three weeks ago; back on the mark he defied at Pontefract but would need to see money for him again. |
