Still 5lb above his last winning mark and all five wins have come over 1m on the AW, including two here; hard to recommend over this trip. |

Sits third, one place behind Aisling Oscar, in the All Weather Horse of the Year standings after his fine winter; yet to win at Wolverhampton but he has run well here; Billy Loughnane takes over tonight; each-way shout. |

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 |
9st 2lb |
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. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
1m AW winner last December, his peak effort; not far off that level at York latest (7f, good) after being gelded and having a break; drops 1lb; interesting. |
3/1 |

4th 9 (18) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
All five starts have been on AW, with some pretty useful form over 1m at Newcastle this winter before a flop in 7f handicap at Chelmsford; gelded and absent in the 11 weeks since; drawn wide; well bred (albeit for much longer trips) and lightly raced for his leading yard but plenty to prove today. |
14/1 |

7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
All four starts over 1m at Newcastle, twice getting turned over as favourite having won an ordinary maiden late last year; shapes as though he'll be fine with the drop in trip and it's too soon to write him off but he has a bit to prove now. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Continues to edge down the weights and he's well treated on the pick of this winter's course form; however, he appears to have gone off the boil on his last few outings and needs to raise his game. |
8/1 |

6th 9 (5) |
11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
2lb lower than for his Newcastle win in December but his form has gone off the boil more recently; Billy Loughnane, who was aboard for the Newcastle win, is back on today so a revival wouldn't be a bolt from the blue. |

27th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
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. |
9/2 |

3rd 6 (11) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
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. |
6/1 |

4th 2 (5) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Only 1-19 in Britain but he proved resurgent and looked unlucky in new headgear at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) nine days ago, going very close despite meeting traffic issues; respected off same mark in retained cheekpieces. |

13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Left Ralph Beckett after 1m2f Redcar novice win (good to soft) in October; that form has not been reached in her five handicaps since, most at 1m but never dangerous latest when back up to 1m4f at Thirsk; others preferred. |
18/1 |

7th 2 (8) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |

Ended her time with Ralph Beckett with 1m2f Redcar novice success but she has failed to fire subsequently for Ivan Furtado, only sixth of eight in 1m Newcastle handicap last time; tried back over a much longer trip now. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Best RPRs over shorter (6f) but did make all in a slowly run C&D Class 4 in January (4-1); failed to get majorly competitive - often slowly away - in his last three starts; return to AW might assist, along with Ethan Tindall's 5lb claim. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 35y Class 4 |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
0-15 since winning his first three starts; however, he went close at Musselburgh (7f, good) two starts ago despite trouble in running and was again denied a clear run when sixth there (7f, good) last time; could be in the mix if getting the breaks. |

6th 7 (10) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Drawn a blank since winning first three starts for Roger Varian but surely would have put that right over C&D (good) last time with more luck in running, going down by only a head despite being repeatedly denied a run in the penultimate furlong; might need the breaks if he's dropped in from the outside stall but still has to be high on the list. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 12 (1) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Won his first three starts over 7f/1m on the AW for Roger Varian, but placed just once in 13 outings since; 24lb lower than when last on turf, but he still has plenty to prove. |
