22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 68y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
He wasn't disgraced off this much lower turf mark when fifth at Bath (2m1f, good) last month and romped away with Wolverhampton handicap (16.5f, AW) a fortnight later; posted another good effort on AW last time and a first turf win isn't out of the question. |

2nd 1 (5) |
7th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
10st 7lb |
Record of ten wins from 34 starts on the AW; goes particularly well here, gaining fourth course success when scoring by 14l over 2m nine days ago; this trip no problem; will be hard to beat with a 5lb penalty. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Gradually went the wrong way for previous yard after making a successful debut and was comfortably held on stable debut at Bath (1m2f, good; first-time tongue-tie) this month; little to suggest this big step up in trip will make a difference. |
12/1 |

6th 1 (3) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won debut at Newcastle (7f, AW) last April; fourth in the Leger Legends race at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last September but yet to make much of an impact in handicaps, so he can't be the percentage call on this first start since leaving Craig Lidster; tongue tied first time. |
12/1 |

20th 8 (18) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Made a winning debut at Newcastle (7f) last April; yet to make much of an impact in handicaps but he has dropped down the weights and he ran a solid race over C&D in the Leger Legends race last September; goes well after a break and he has a top amateur booked; interesting. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Made it 13th-time lucky at Newcastle (2m, Tapeta) 18 days ago, but that race was run at a farcically slow gallop; just 2lb higher, but not hard to have serious reservations. |
6/4 |

1st 4 (4) |
19th May 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Maiden who's been turned over as favourite on four of his last six starts, two of them over C&D (behind Angelardo in March), and also behind Lady Phoebe at Pontefract; will be happier back on Tapeta. |
3/1 |
|
5th 6 (12) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 139y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
0-11 but he's run some good races at up to an extended 2m on AW since joining this yard and he's dropped some hints that he could be suited by this extreme test of stamina. |

Formerly a fair hurdler/chaser, but the wheels have come right off; no appeal despite another 4lb drop. |

Formerly with Paul Nicholls then Gavin Cromwell; has four jumps wins to his name; placed twice in this code at up to 1m5f but very hard to fancy on his form since joining his current trainer. |

8st 10lb |
0-11, his best effort when second of eight at Leicester (7f, good to firm) last July; not disgraced here (9.5f) in March, but has plenty to prove over this far. |
14/1 |

5th 7 (7) |
18th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ten-race maiden with the odd piece of modest form (good to firm and AW) but below that level on last two runs back on turf. |

9th 11 (5) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |

Nine-race maiden with the odd piece of modest form (good to firm and AW, including 9.4f) which gives him a chance. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |

Four wins on the AW include one over C&D in 2022, but nothing like as good these days; first-time blinkers need to have a dramatic effect. |
40/1 |

6th 6 |
10th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |

Regressive on the Flat and tailed off returned to hurdles in March; limited appeal now attempting a handicap (1lb wrong). |
25/1 |
|
8th 5 |
18th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |

A declining force on the Flat and his return to hurdles (second attempt) over C&D last Wednesday saw him beaten 52l at 300-1. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Ran well when second of nine in returning cheekpieces at Leicester (1m4f, good) 15 days ago, but all seven wins have been on the AW; still 6lb lower than for the latest of those, but he attempts beyond 1m6f for the first time on his 63rd outing. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 2 (3) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All seven wins have been on the AW (1m2f-1m4f) and he ran creditably on his last two starts; however, he's yet to finish in the first three in five starts on turf and others are preferred; cheekpieces are back on for the first time since 2024. |

Just 1-30 and nothing for a long time to suggest he can double his tally. |
50/1 |
|
7th 7 (6) |
19th May 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Useful in Ireland in his younger days but been poor under both codes for this yard for a good while; tailed off behind two of these at Pontefract last time. |
50/1 |
|
7th 11 (11) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 139y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
He's dropped to a basement mark but his sole win came in 2020 and this 9yo struggled to get competitive last year; first run since last October. |
