1st 3 (2) |
31st May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
6lb lower than when winning at Haydock last summer (1m, good to firm); two creditable runs in defeat this season and he now drops in class. |
3/1 |
|
7th 14 (2) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Ended 2025 in poor form but he built up a head of steam to take a late fourth on his recent Pontefract return (1m, good); now 4lb lower than his Haydock win (1m, good to firm) last August so weighted to be competitive. |
9/1 |
|
12 (11) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Now 4lb lower than for his win at Haydock (1m, good to firm) last summer and he wasn't beaten far on his reappearance at Pontefract (1m, good) ten days ago; should get a decent tow into this race and has claims if he can build on that last run. |

2nd 2 (7) |
31st May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won two AW handicaps (7f/8.6f) over the winter; the handicapper may have caught up now and she still has to prove she can be as effective on turf. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 4 (4) |
11th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Two wins in a lower grade this winter (7f and 8.6f); not beaten far at Lingfield 12 days ago but she will need to produce a career best to take this. |
6/1 |
|
9th 7 (9) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Three wins, including C&D, since joining James Owen last summer; far too strong for her five rivals at Wolverhampton last month (8.6f) but that was only Class 5 and she will need more to follow up in this stronger race off a 6lb higher mark. |

31st May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
C&D winner; 5lb lower than for his last success; ran a solid race on this month's return to turf at Windsor; one to consider. |
5/1 |
|
4th 5 (11) |
7th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Bagged a pair of 1m handicaps at Chepstow and Sandown last summer; failed to fire on the AW over the winter but yard is going well so he could bounce back returned to turf after a break. |
7/1 |
|
9th 3 (6) |
26th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Course winner (8.6f) who has dropped 2lb below his last winning mark, but his four efforts since returning to the AW in Sepember leave plenty to be desired. |

31st May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Saw off 14 rivals when narrowly winning over C&D last month (Class 6); also went close in a Class 6 at Leicester this month but either side of that he was unplaced in Class 5 events; others preferred for the win. |
4/1 |
|
4th 8 (2) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Battled well for narrow win at Nottingham (8.3f, good) last month and probably bettered that performance when very close second at Leicester (1m, good to firm) nine days ago; respected in current form. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 5 (4) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Finally opened his account at Nottingham (1m) in April but failed to back it up when sixth at Ripon (1m) two weeks ago; needs to get back on track. |

31st May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Ended 2025 with two good runs but he has been well short of that level in two runs this year, a wind op before the latest making no difference; tongue tie returns; risky despite his reduced mark. |
20/1 |
|
11th 9 (8) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
First win was on turf (7f) and last two have been on Tapeta (8.6f); reached the frame in two starts at Wolverhampton in December but he had a major blip there the following month; had another wind operation since and needs a major revival after four months off. |

31st May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Promise in AW novices and again when third of ten at Doncaster on her handicap debut last June (7f, good); disappointed at Yarmouth the following month and absent since; has undergone wind surgery during his layoff; drops in class, up in trip and tongue tied for his return; still has potential. |
4/1 |
|
5 (4) |
16th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Improved with each of three 6f races and it looked more a case of just needing the run than lack of stamina when a close third of ten on handicap debut at Doncaster (7f, good) in June; respected off the same mark. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 10 (10) |
6th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Runner-up in two 6f Southwell (AW) novice races during the winter, latterly behind a subsequent Listed winner; makes handicap debut after a five-month break but could have untapped potential over 7f. |

31st May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Blinkers have helped him this spring, seeing off five rivals at Bath (1m, firm) last month and then finishing close up in third back at Bath (1m2f, firm) 19 days ago; returning to a mile can help and Mason Paetel's claim is a useful one. |
9/2 |

3rd 4 (4) |
12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Travelled well in the new blinkers over 1m here recently (firm) and got the job done by just over a length; has stamina to prove over this longer trip and no guarantees the headgear will work a second time. |
7/2 |
|
1st 5 (2) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
He's dropped down the weights and was a close fifth at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last November on his penultimate start; however, a lesser run followed (6f, AW) to make it 0-7 and there's a stamina question to answer on his reappearance; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces. |
