2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Campaigned only over 7f-1m; justified favouritism at Newcastle (AW) on seasonal debut, registering a first win since joining current yard; back up 5lb but remains well treated on peak form and he's 2-3 at Pontefract; should remain competitive, provided he stays the new trip. |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Has won on soft ground and he's now 8lb lower than when runner-up at Leicester (7f, good to firm) in June; however, he's finished no better than seventh across his five outings since. |
12/1 |

30th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |

5th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |

C&D winner who was beaten just 1l when second at Leicester in June and is now 6lb lower; however, soundly beaten on his three runs since (C&D last time) and the first-time visor needs to prompt a revival. |

17th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Fairly useful on his day but is on a long losing sequence and current mark reflects a general decline in his form; a regular at Newcastle and rarely seen at Wolverhampton. |
16/1 |
|
6th 6 (2) |
19th Feb 2026 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Losing run stretches back to December 2023; ran okay over C&D in November off a 7lb higher mark but he hasn't built on it since. |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 3 |

Not an easy horse to win with but he had a solid AW campaign and is on a feasible mark; below par back on turf 12 days ago and needs to bounce back quickly. |
10/1 |

8th 5 (1) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |

He has turned in a string of good runs on the AW since November but such consistency ensures he gets little respite from the handicapper; others may prove better treated today. |

4th 5 (2) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Ultra-consistent RPRs this winter, and just a short-head away at Wolverhampton latest from adding a belated second win on synthetics and first on Tapeta (7f); 4lb better off with Legal Reform for a 1.5l defeat over the same C&D on Boxing Day, and possibilities off an unchanged mark. |

Has done his winning at 7f-1m but recent form features two encouraging efforts over 1m2f (turf/AW); long losing spell remains a cause for concern, however. |
6/1 |

4th 2 (4) |
26th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Six-time winner but his last success was in August 2022; on much reduced mark and was creditable third at Beverley (1m2f; tongue-tie added) in July but he was beaten 13l at Ripon last time and that took his losing run to 20; down the list. |
12/1 |
|
4 (6) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 190y Class 6 |
10st 13lb |
Much lower in the weights than for the latest of five wins in 2022 and ran well when third of 14 behind a couple of dead-heaters (including Star Start) at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) last time; each-way claims again despite a losing run of 19. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

Veteran who retains some gusto and won from the front at Ayr (6f, good to soft) in July; however, his last two efforts have been well below par and he could be vulnerable to younger legs. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Signed off for 2025 with 1m win at Southwell; looked rusty after five months off when eighth of nine in 1m Pontefract handicap last month; took this prize in 2024 so not dismissed with usual cheekpieces refitted. |
12/1 |
|
8th 1 (2) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Added another two 1m wins to his CV in 2025, including on AW when last seen in November; this 2lb higher mark shouldn't prove beyond him but his record fresh, allied to the absence of cheekpieces (worn on last seven starts), suggest this may not be his day. |
8/1 |

5th 2 (13) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
4lb higher than when beating 18 rivals here (1m, good) in July and was having his first go over this sort of trip when third of seven at Redcar (1m2f, good) last time (winner has gone in again since); needs to prove his stamina in this much bigger field, though. |

3rd Oct 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

17th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

4-9 on Tapeta including two wins over 6f here; 7lb below his last winning mark and has run with credit over 7f at Southwell in his last two starts, but this stiffer track does pose a question. |

9st 10lb |

1st Jul 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Below best at Lingfield (6f, Polytrack) in April and well beaten back on turf at Thirsk (7f) in May; however, prior to those he was progressive on Tapeta, with a C&D win in February, and he's a possible now back here. |

Missed all of 2022 but it's done him no harm whatever, winning two of his first four AW starts, over 6f and 7f, before finding Lingfield's sharp 6f an inadequate test last month; return to turf no hardship, having won 5f maiden on grass as 2yo and is one to consider. |

No win since June 2024; now two grades and 14lb lower; placed at Redcar (7f, good) in October but disappointing since, including in cheekpieces at Southwell (7f) five weeks ago; headgear is tweaked again (visor) seeking the solution. |
