21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Yet to add to his C&D win just over two years ago but lost out only by a neck when clear second back here (1m2f, good) 12 days ago and is sure to be suited by this move back up in trip; high on the list. |
100/30 |

Record here reads 3133, the win coming over 1m4f in June 2024; 0-21 since, though, and others are preferred for the win; stable triple-handed. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time turf winner who last scored at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm; has won at this trip) two years ago; went close on two occasions at 1m3f (visored) during latest AW campaign but his latest effort when last of ten at Southwell (1m4f; raced freely) wasn't an ideal springboard for this switch back to grass; blinkers (has won in them before) go back on. |

Four Flat wins but he hasn't achieved much at big prices in two handicap hurdles, at 2m1f and 2m7f; no great appeal this time, either. |

Resumed winning ways in classified event at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in March; winless on turf though and only eighth of 13 in 1m Ripon handicap last time; others appeal more. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Front-runner who did well throughout five-race campaign last season, most notably when gamely winning this race; 5lb higher today but much more of a worry is that he needs to bounce back from this season's two poor runs on turf. |

Front-runner who did well during five-race campaign last season, most notably when gamely winning Northumberland Vase at Newcastle (2m, AW); also suited by good to soft turf but needs to bounce back from last month's disappointing reappearance run. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
11yo who was tailed off over C&D (good to soft) in November and pulled up at 100-1 at Ayr (2m4f, soft) last month on his sole start since; however, the drying conditions are a positive, with his last five wins coming on good ground, and he won two in a row over C&D last autumn to take his winning tally at Kelso to four; no surprise if he bounces back with a bold show. |
50/1 |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
11yo who won three times last August-October (2m1f/2m5f, good); however, tailed off at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft) in November when last seen and there's a suspicion he may not want testing ground nowadays. |
16/1 |

17th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |

Back to winning ways at Cartmel (2m1f) in August and followed it up with a good third of nine in 2m4f handicap at Sedgefield 13 days ago; this C&D scorer can't be discounted. |

16th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Unplaced in 13 attempts over a variety of trips; slipping to a workable mark but others push stronger claims, particularly after he was last of eight over C&D in the 8.30 yesterday. |
8/1 |

15th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

First-time cheekpieces seemed to help when fourth of 11 over 1m4f here last month but upping him to 2m wasn't the answer next time and he didn't do enough over C&D since to think this is his trip either; work to do. |
