Finished third of 15 in the 2018 running; has had a stop-start year but testing conditions suit and he looked in good form when a ready winner from Hodler at Leicester 18 days ago (7f, soft; first-time cheekpieces, retained); back up 5lb; one of the more likely ones. |

6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Four wins from ten starts over C&D but looked on the downgrade during a limited campaign last year and turned in an ordinary comeback here two months ago; some way down the pecking order. |

2nd Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
His last four wins have been over C&D but latest was in August 2024; well handicapped on old form but he's been out of sorts in three runs for his current yard and was beaten 12l here (6f) in December; returns after a break and needs a major revival back up in trip; cheekpieces reapplied. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |

Below par on turf last time (stable debut, back from break); has a better strike-rate on AW but seems ideally suited by Kempton; gained last four wins there. |

21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Dual C&D winner who was also beaten a nose off this mark in September on last visit here (7f); running respectably on AW earlier this year but below par returned to turf at Haydock last month; this is easier and he's never confidently ruled out at this track. |

Fourth of 14 on second start for this yard at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) in October suggested the ability remained, but losing run up to 18 despite a sliding mark; not sure a return to sprinting is the answer. |

Recorded his sixth Flat win when scoring at Sandown in August and he's won twice over hurdles since then, with his latest success in a Huntingdon handicap (2m, good) last month; open to more progress in this sphere and he's strongly respected on this switch to a claimer. |

Veteran who popped up at Newbury (6f, good to soft) in June; hasn't matched that in four runs since but is back down to that winning mark; still needs to turn the ship around. |

Veteran who popped up in a Class 5 at Newbury in June (6f, good to soft); hasn't matched that in three runs since and although he's often run well here, he's yet to win at the track; minor money perhaps his best hope. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |

Understandably not the force of old now a 10yo but he registered the ninth win of his long career when beating ten rivals at Newbury (6f, good to firm) in June; held in a couple of Class 4 events since but he's won here in the past and is not ruled out on this drop back in grade. |

Few chances on AW but he ran well over C&D in November off 3lb higher; returned to winning ways in a Racing League handicap at Chepstow two weeks ago (6f, good to soft); respected despite a 4lb rise and his draw in stall 1. |

Kickstarted 2022 with 6f/7f wins at Naas and Cork and he took a big step back in the right direction when fifth of 11 at Gowran (7f) in August on his final run for Kieran Cotter; he can race off a 4lb lower mark here on his yard debut so merits serious consideration. |
