15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has done well on AW for current yard, completing a remarkable eight-timer along the way; failed to transfer the form back to turf last time, taking record in this sphere to 0-10; bit to prove off same mark. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |

A revelation on AW for new yard since last November, posting an eight-timer; close second of six off this mark at Wolverhampton last month; he's 0-9 on turf but this is his first run on grass for his current trainer and he could be involved. |

30th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Four-time AW winner, most recently at Southwell (1m, AW) in April off 3lb lower than today, but he's been below best in his two starts since cheekpieces went on, including when beating only one rival home at Wolverhampton three weeks ago; that was his first run since May and it may have been needed. |
25/1 |

11th 9 (9) |
7th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
All four wins have come on Tapeta including at Southwell (1m) in April; well held in his bid for a double at Lingfield last time, but he still looks feasibly treated on his penultimate form and his first was over C&D; could go well back at this track after a break. |

17th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

A regular at Southwell, where he has a win and five places; had slipped in the weights before creditable efforts over 6f and 1m last two starts; today's intermediate trip should be ideal and he's high on the list. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 6 (6) |
2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Four-time turf winner but he's 1-31 on AW and was well held back in this sphere at Southwell (7f) last week; cheekpieces are now added but he has work to do on this return to sprinting. |
14/1 |
|
5th 7 (4) |
24th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Rather a modest third returned to turf last time; only 1-30 on AW but gained the success over C&D (off current mark) and holds a fighting chance back here. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Nearly all races at 1m+ but he travelled well before winning his first 7f handicap, at Thirsk in September, beating one who was well in under a penalty, pair clear; not clear run on Southwell AW since but looks capable of better back on turf. |
11/2 |

26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Campaigned mostly over further but proved suited by the return to 7f at Thirsk most recently, opening his account at the 21st attempt; another win is far from inconceivable kept to this distance. |
6/1 |

1st 3 (2) |
14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

He's 0-20 but he went too freely without his usual hood after six months off when fifth of six in 8.5f Wolverhampton AW handicap 13 days ago; can take a step forward now in refitted headgear. |

24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Sole turf success came at Redcar (1m, good to firm) in August; he is now 16lb higher after a productive spell on AW and finished 12l adrift when returned to turf over C&D last month; down the list despite his yard being in fine form. |
33/1 |

8th 10 (1) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Three 1m wins on Southwell AW this year; has also won on turf but he's 15lb higher than when last seen on grass in the autumn so needs to show his form on this surface can keep pace with the AW improvement. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
25th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Record over C&D currently reads 22115112; didn't look to have any excuses in a race run to suit here three weeks ago and it's possible he's reached his ceiling mark now, but he's ultra consistent and looks set to get involved once again. |

3rd Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won debut on Newcastle AW; good second in a novice next time made life difficult in his early handicaps but he looked to have a little up his sleeve when winning over this C&D in March (first-time cheekpieces) and has had excuses in both starts since; possibilities. |
14/1 |

8th 6 (7) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |

Dual AW winner, latterly in March when in first-time cheekpieces, after which he finished last of the four at Wolverhampton (scoped dirty); could be given another chance but he's been off since April. |
12/1 |

4th 2 (3) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |

Built on the encouragement of his comeback effort when winning in first-time cheekpieces at Southwell (1m, AW) 30 days ago, taking his record on the AW to 2-4; claims following a 3lb rise. |

His losing run stands at 18 and he has been disappointing since a good run at Thirsk in April; drops in class with blinkers now given a go; a revival wouldn't be out of the question. |

18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Winless since taking a 7f novice at this meeting two years ago; best run this year came when second over 1m at Thirsk in April when 6lb higher, and there's always a chance that the new visor might have a positive effect. |

Often slowly away but has plenty of Southwell form, including four wins off higher marks; posted a resurgent effort (third of 13) over C&D most recently; possibilities, provided he takes to new headgear. |

3rd 2 (3) |
24th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Good course record, with four wins (three at 7f) and a second from eight starts; caught wide when he ran poorly over C&D last month but it was a step back in the right direction when fifth at Thirsk a fortnight ago, and he's down to the mark he won a 6f course handicap from in May; draw not overly helpful but he's considered. |

Doubled his tally over C&D when making all in a class 5 handicap four weeks ago, his third win when ridden by Elle-May Croot; likes it here and has good claims off 3lb higher, but could be taken on for the lead by Spartan Fighter. |
