26th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
He has improved for the addition of cheekpieces but not sure there is much mileage in his mark and that isn't the case with a few of his rivals. |

3rd 1 (1) |
5th May 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
He had looked exposed prior to headgear going on in December but it sparked improvement, winning over 8.6f in December and following up over C&D in March; came up short in his hat-trick bid at Chelmsford (1m2f) 16 days ago but still ran well; respected. |

2nd 1 (3) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Had looked exposed before winning at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in late December; followed up when narrowly denying Anerin's Sword back at Wolverhampton (9.4f) 16 days ago, making it 2-2 in cheekpieces; should give it a good go in his hat-trick bid. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Third in his first two handicaps, including at Nottingham (1m2f, good; visored) in his only turf race; better form when beaten a neck at Southwell (1m3f, AW; cheekpieces) latest outing, which he'll need to build on. |

2nd 3 (1) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Twice third in handicap company at bit shorter than this, with the fitting of a visor not really helping at Nottingham three weeks ago (took good hold); less-severe headgear is reached for here; possibilities if settling better. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Won at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in February in his second handicap; backward steps in his three starts since, admittedly clipping heels early on latest (Madjid's race at Doncaster; 11-2) but doubts are creeping in. |
16/1 |

8th 6 (7) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Two turf starts last year; made the breakthrough in his second handicap when scoring at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW) in February; yet to build on that, however, and others arguably have more scope for improvement on this switch back to grass. |
6/1 |
|
5th 3 (5) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Improved for the step up to 9.4f when winning at Wolverhampton last month, his second handicap; only fourth behind two of tonight's rivals at Wolverhampton 16 days ago; needs to raise his game but that is possible. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Seven starts on the AW including a narrow success at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in January, but has not matched that form in two outings in headgear since; enough to prove on turf debut. |
10/1 |
|
4th 3 (1) |
25th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
First run beyond sprint trips when winning an ordinary, small-field Wolverhampton handicap (8.6f) in January; met traffic upped to 9.5f latest (first-time cheekpieces; switches to a visor here) and can't be ruled out under experienced 5lb claimer Ashley Lewis. |
5/1 |
|
5th 3 (5) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Steadily improving and made it fifth-time lucky when winning by a head here (8.6f) in January; 3lb higher and should stay this far, but the form of that race hasn't really worked out; cheekpieces given a go. |
