9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Often gives his running in strong handicaps (second in this event 12 months ago) but losing sequence is up to 11 and he looked held when falling two out in the Plumpton race won by Indemnity last time; cheekpieces left off today; opposable off unchanged mark. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
Had strong handicap form even before finishing second to Alexei in the Greatwood and fifth in an Ascot handicap that could barely have worked out any better, with the four ahead of him all delivering high-profile efforts in the meantime (well in with fourth-placed Mondo Man); failed favourite backers in a lower grade at Newbury but this strong traveller might have won had he not been left in front two out (then idled); every chance should this pan out more favourably; all ground seems fine. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
12st 2lb |
Had some very strong handicap form even before his last two runs when second to Alexei in the Greatwood and fifth in an Ascot handicap that could barely have worked out any better, with the four ahead of him all delivering high-profile efforts in the meantime; must have every chance in this lower grade; drying ground won't bother him. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 8y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
All four wins have been from 2m to 2m4f (on good to soft to heavy), two of those over fences; clearly in fair nick after a win and two seconds in his last three races (3m/2m4f; all in cheekpieces) but he'll be into unknown territory a long way from home over this distance; too risky. |

2nd 1 |
20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
8yo who is lightly raced for his age and won in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in November; close second at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) since; fully effective on testing ground and he holds leading claims. |

Surprise winner of C&D novice (heavy; 25-1) in November but he hasn't gone on from that in four runs since including three handicaps; had tough task from out the weights at Haydock last time but he needs to find more back at this track. |

Pulled up with respiratory issue in December and not seen again since but went close on handicap debut at Market Rasen (2m7f, good to soft) two starts ago and remains lightly raced; major player if back on song. |

14th Feb 2024 Good To Soft 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Eight-race maiden who was well beaten in three handicap chases in the autumn and is 3lb wrong here; difficult to enthuse over on that evidence but connections are persisting, and it's worth noting he attracted market support last time; wore cheekpieces two starts ago; blinkers tried here. |

23rd Oct 2024 Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Ran much better than 30l defeat might suggest when fourth under very positive ride here (2m5f, good to soft; first-time blinkers) last month but she's effectively on the same mark from 2lb out of the weights today and has now been unplaced all eight hurdling starts; cheekpieces refitted. |
