3rd 1 (3) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Revived by the drop to 0-50 classified events, runner-up over 7f at Wolverhampton and then C&D before seeing off six rivals in a 1m event here last week; that was a notably weak race, even for the grade, and he has a bit more on his plate as he bids to defy a penalty. |

1st 3 (7) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
No win since 2024 and all his succes has come over 7f; that said, he is effective at this trip and arrives on the back of a pair of runner-up finishes at this level; unlikely to be found a better opportunity to register a first 1m success. |

2nd 3 (2) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Has won three times over C&D; clear of the remainder when runner-up in a Wolverhampton handicap last time; sound chance down in grade. |

28th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Gained sole win in a classified event and has made the frame several times at that level in 2026; not the percentage call returned to a handicap and going into unknown territory trip-wise. |
16/1 |
|
6th 2 (2) |
14th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
The winner of just one of his 42 starts but that success came in a 0-50 classified event on Tapeta and when ridden by Billy Loughnane (record on him reads 122425); finished in front of Hopjes when second over C&D ten days ago; should be involved again. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Placed once over 1m (AW) in the other code and 0-3 over hurdles; well beaten at Hereford latest; watch. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |

Two non-completions over hurdles; placed on the AW last month but over 1m and at a very modest level. |

5th 3 (1) |
14th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Attracted support and ran a better race when a front-running third of seven over C&D ten days ago (Dash Power second); one to consider with a new visor replacing blinkers |

29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Hasn't troubled the judge since returning in December from a short break and finished well behind Spirit Of Bowland over C&D last time. |
33/1 |
|
9th 8 (5) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Last win away from Newcastle was in 2021; slow starts have been holding him back so both classified fourths over C&D this month can arguably be upgraded; chance rests largely on the start. |
20/1 |
|
4th 5 (7) |
14th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
It has been a long time since he won away from Newcastle and he has run to just a modest level in two Southwell runs this year; others appeal more for win purposes. |

4th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Three C&D wins to his name, including this race 12 months ago; arrived in good form on that occasion whereas he has been struggling this winter; new headgear not enough to tempt. |

7th 11 (2) |
15th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Won a 1m classified event at Southwell last March; not firing on all cylinders this winter and stamina for this trip has to be taken on trust. |

10th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Kept on for fourth in 1m Southwell handicap in October, after a break, but this 9yo was not in the same form on any of his three subsequent appearances there; cheekpieces removed after one use. |
