25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
4yo with only six races behind him and has gone 2-3 in handicaps with narrow verdicts at Thirsk and Musselburgh (again 5f, good); essentially 5lb higher than last time as Zak Wheatley claimed 3lb that day, but he's got a good draw and first-time headgear; respected. |

Low-mileage 4yo who led close home to take 17-runner Thirsk handicap (5f, good) three weeks ago and is now 2-5; probably still has more to offer and commands respect. |

Unexposed after just four runs; consistent form in 5f novices last term and made an encouraging reappearance/handicap debut at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft) five weeks ago, fading having had the worst of the draw; remains open to improvement and high on the list. |

Won the corresponding race 12 months ago off 6lb higher; back to winning ways when seeing off ten rivals at Ayr (5f, good to firm; made all) 18 days ago; this is a higher grade but the horse he beat last time ran well at Goodwood on Tuesday; not ruled out. |

Won off an 11lb mark at Musselburgh last August (5f, good); hasn't run as well since and below-par over same C&D last time (good); dropped another 3lb so no surprise if he were to go well. |
