9st 10lb |
Dead-heated in a 6f handicap at Chelmsford last October; three solid efforts have followed and he should appreciate returning to 6f; drying ground no problem and he's high on the list. |

9st 10lb |
Two solid placed efforts have followed his AW win (6f; dead-heated) at Chelmsford last October; still has relatively low mileage and a promising claimer has been booked; first 5f run since his 2yo days. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Has led; won 6f Windsor novice as 2yo, also in the frame in Listed events; found little when upped to 7f on Newbury comeback but finished close up back over 6f at Windsor recently in new aids (tongue-tie retained, blinkers discarded); stamina still to be proved over 7f but can't rule out. |
7/4 |

3rd 7 (7) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
His 2yo win came in good style over C&D but he was the red-hot favourite; his limitations have been exposed since and he was beaten 8l on his return to action in April (7f, good); returns to 6f with a tongue-tie and blinkers fitted; not easy to assess. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Won a Ripon novice (5f, good) last June and ran well on his handicap debut at Ayr (6f, soft) in September; hasn't featured in two starts this year and has been gelded since last seen in May. |
7/1 |

8th 7 (3) |
6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Best form when winning a Ripon novice event (5f, good) and second in Ayr nursery (6f, soft); chance of emerging on top in this competitive handicap partly depends on the effects of first-time headgear. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Looked as good as ever when second of nine at Catterick (6f, good) on his reappearance in April but that hasn't been a springboard to better things; conditions no problem and he's on a manageable mark but this is a warm race in which to try to bounce back. |

26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Very productive in the first half of 2025 but has subsequently been unable to add to his tally; admittedly ties in with a couple of today's opponents on C&D form three weeks ago (penultimate start). |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
A solid run when fourth in this race (good) last year but he struggled subsequently, with slow starts also becoming a feature; handicapped to be competitive if a 174-day break has freshened him up. |

9st 7lb |
Not the force of old but that is reflected in his handicap mark; has undergone wind surgery since his latest run but it isn't enough to earn him the vote in this competitive race; usual headgear is absent today. |

28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Five visits here have resulted in three wins and two places, all at 6f; made an encouraging return when fourth of nine at Ripon three weeks ago and he's slipped to a dangerous mark; tempting. |

9st 13lb |
Last two wins have come over 6f at Redcar and he returned to form when third over that C&D (good to firm) in May; well beaten in a big field at York since; first visit to Catterick. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Last two wins have come over 6f at Redcar and he returned to form when third over that C&D last month; however, this is warmer and he has been unplaced on all four of his starts at York. |
