1st 21 (15) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Record of 122 over 7f on AW once fitted with a visor; however, despite turf achievements early in career, his return to turf at Doncaster (7f, good to soft; second favourite) in March bore no comparison. |
20/1 |
|
12th 13 (11) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Record of 122, all over 7f on AW, since wearing visor; most recently bumped into thriving rival who was on the second leg of a four-timer; dual winner on turf; solid claims in the retained headgear. |
11/2 |

2nd 4 (4) |
6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Reinvigorated by a visor, winning a C&D handicap (beat Bobby Joe Leg) early last month before a close second at Southwell two weeks ago (Goldmoyne third); up another 2lb today but he threatened to be useful in his youth and should have another big run in him. |

20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
11-time course winner who defied this mark over C&D in December; some creditable efforts since but he has been a bit up and down and was only sixth behind Anthropologist here last time; others preferred. |
16/1 |
|
6th 5 (9) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
11-time course winner, the latest over C&D in December, and he twice finished placed over C&D last month; certainly of interest on that form but this 12yo has gone off the boil on his last two starts. |
14/1 |

11th 1 (7) |
14th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Failed to fire at Newcastle last week but this veteran had run two fine races in defeat beforehand; fully effective at this track too so no great surprise were he to rebound quickly. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
All five wins have come here, the latest over C&D in December, and he was short-headed over 7f here on March 12; this hold-up horse was on the wrong end of a pace bias when 2l sixth over C&D last Saturday and could play a leading role if this pans out more favourably. |
7/1 |
|
6th 10 (9) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
All of his five wins have been at Newcastle and he produced a strong finish to go close over 7f here last Thursday; only 1lb higher on this step back up in trip and he's an interesting contender. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 9 (6) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Two Class 6 wins here (including this trip) in late 2025 but recent efforts no more than respectable, including at Wolverhampton on Monday. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Beaten 13 times since last win at Newcastle (7f, AW) last September but close fifth of seven at Ayr (1m, good to firm) recently and he may appreciate the return to 7f; his mark continues to fall and he might not be far away. |
15/2 |
|
5th 6 (6) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Has done his winning over 6f/7f, the last five times on AW (hasn't scored on turf since 2023); kept mostly to Newcastle since last September; not the percentage call in this scenario. |

28th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
0-13 on AW and 0-11 for current yard, runner-up both starts here; largely consistent this autumn/winter at Kempton and Newcastle but others are more persuasive for the win. |
9/1 |
|
5th 2 (7) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Record of 0-12 on AW and 0-10 for current yard but he has proved largely consistent at Kempton since returned to this sphere; frame possibilities if staying at the same level and win possibilities on best form. |
11/2 |
|
4th 3 (11) |
19th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Losing run up to 16 but much better when third of 12 over C&D last month; that race has produced winners since and he races off the same mark, but the outside stall presents a problem; blinkers return. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
7f-1m AW winner and 7f turf winner (good) last year when 6lb lower; well below par on both AW and turf on his last two starts and he does have a little to prove after that. |
20/1 |
|
4th 6 (2) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Gained his third success when winning at Newcastle (7f, AW) in March having got plenty of cover when there was a headwind; wasn't able to match that effort there 23 days ago and now steps back up in grade; returns to turf with place claims. |
12/1 |
|
6th 3 (4) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
4yo who recorded his third win when beating ten rivals over C&D last month; back up 4lb but he travelled strongly for a long way last time and hit a personal best with that stylish success; key player. |

2nd 1 (14) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Can miss the break but scored twice last year, a 20-1 win at Newmarket (good to firm) in July supplemented by a Yarmouth (also 7f, good to soft) success in September; never dangerous on AW return in February but might do better this time. |
20/1 |

7th 6 (9) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Three wins on turf; 0-7 on AW and often slowly away but is difficult to dismiss, having posted an encouraging effort over C&D most recently; Jack Dace takes off a handy 5lb. |
8/1 |
|
3 (8) |
22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Seen to advantage (sat off the strong pace) when producing career win number three (second at Yarmouth) 34 days ago (7f); she stays this far but it's doubtful things will pan out as favourably and a 6lb rise is tough. |

20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
8st 4lb |
Two wins at Newcastle (1m, AW) this year, including on his latest start last month; 2lb out of the handicap today and he's 0-13 on turf, but has been placed a few times on grass and is not discounted. |
6/1 |
|
1st 5 (9) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Just 2-33 but both wins have come here, the latest over C&D last month; found to be lame when down the field two days later and 7f looked too sharp when third here three weeks ago; he's one to consider now back up in trip. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 7 (6) |
6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Too strong for his rivals in a Class 6 over a mile here last month; reportedly finished lame when disappointing (13-8f) behind Golden Strike here four weeks ago; revised 3lb higher mark has now kicked in. |
6/1 |
