20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Has gained all four of his wins at Newcastle, with the most recent of those successes coming there over 5f 16 days ago; 3lb rise looks fair but he was well beaten when last seen over 6f. |

9st 8lb |
All three of his wins have come at Newcastle and he has run some good races this winter, including his latest third when keeping on after an awkward start (not his first); capable at this level; respected. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Nine-time winner who scored at Southwell (5f, AW) in April but he's not matched that form since and was out the back at Newcastle last month; now 4lb lower than for his last success but he needs to turn things around. |

9th 5 (2) |
19th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Four of his nine wins have been over C&D but he's not easy to predict and was well held here last time; now 2lb lower than for his win at Southwell in April but he comes with risks attached. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
8st 6lb |
He did well after joining this yard last year and he's on a handy mark; he should get back on track sooner or later but this 10yo has failed to shine on his last three outings, over C&D on last two starts. |
25/1 |

9th 15 (5) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Veteran whose form has dipped in last two outings, latest over C&D eight days ago; doesn't look as if he's about to improve his poor strike-rate (long time between drinks). |
20/1 |

8th 8 (11) |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Good turf spell in the autumn included a winning yard debut at Haydock (good) and a close second over C&D (soft); has run well on AW since but looks to have his share of weight; trainer runs five and won this in 2024. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Scored over 7f here in June and doubled his tally for the season in 6f Wolverhampton claimer in July; last of seven back in handicap company at Kempton (6f) 15 days ago so has a bit to prove in a change of headgear. |
10/1 |

4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Coped well with the return to 6f when making all at Wolverhampton five weeks ago; that was only a claimer and he didn't need to be at his very best but he's landed a good draw from which to attack. |
6/1 |

1st 8 (7) |
30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

A bit to prove in the reapplied visor and back over 6f, with his last win coming at 7f; badly drawn last time at Chester but disappointed the run before as well. |

21st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Ran well when a close fourth of 16 at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) last month, but didn't back it up at Pontefract (5f, good; first-time hood) a fortnight ago; opposable given his wide draw and a losing run of 22. |

7th 9 (7) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Losing run up to 21, but he ran well to finish a close fourth of 16 at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) last month; a few winners have come out of that race and a hood is given a go, but the drop to 5f may not be ideal even on a stiff track like this. |
7/1 |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Very useful juvenile/3yo for Roger Varian but his last win was in February 2024 and he's not made an impact in seven runs this year; mark continues to fall but losing run is up to 20 and others are preferred. |

5th Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Hit and miss this year and although he ran a fair race at Ayr (5f, good to soft) 18 days ago, he doesn't look the answer this time. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Gained last two wins on Newcastle AW; has been unable to take advantage of a steadily declining mark since returned to turf but isn't out of form; respectable fifth at Hamilton most recently; could go well. |
14/1 |
|
5th 4 (1) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Has a better strike-rate on the AW (4-26) than on turf (3-39); 4lb below his last winning mark, but has to put a modest effort at Ayr (5f, good to firm) last month behind him. |
