3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Took advantage of a reduced mark when bagging his first two starts of the term (Pontefract; 1m2f, good) but couldn't complete the hat-trick when last of three at Newmarket four weeks ago; 0-6 on the AW. |

7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
All five victories have come over a stiff 1m2f so he has that in his favour, including two round Pontefract in June; never won off a mark this high, though, and an 8lb rise for a wide-margin success in an amateurs' handicap last time will test him. |

22nd Sep 2024 Good 2m 4f 114y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Regressive on the Flat nowadays and has shown only minor promise in three novice/maiden hurdles (2m-2m2f) this summer; moves up in trip and sports refitted blinkers on handicap hurdle debut; improvement needed. |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Four-time course winner who'll be happier back on Tapeta; now 6lb lower than when going in over C&D early in the year but needs a revival. |
20/1 |
|
5th 6 (6) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Has had more AW than turf success; has gained both wins in this sphere at Nottingham (8.5f on good/good to soft); only midfield when returned to grass last time; others have stronger claims. |
7/1 |

6th 2 (2) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Popped up at Southwell (1m) off a 2lb higher mark in January; the odd good run since but he needs to bounce back from a lacklustre AW run last month. |

26th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Runner-up twice in a row on AW in the winter before two heavy defeats; didn't run badly back on turf at Haydock (1m, good) last month after a break but the AW seems to be his preferred sphere (just 1-15 on grass). |
33/1 |
|
7th 7 (4) |
21st Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Four-time AW winner but he was disappointing at Southwell (1m) in his final two runs during the winter; has won on turf but that was a long time ago and he doesn't have a great record when fresh; opposable on return. |
16/1 |

11th 4 (6) |
22nd Feb 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Disappointing here three weeks ago but he'd been in good form beforehand, second at Wolverhampton and Lingfield around the turn of the year; needs a full revival to win though. |

10th Feb 2024 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-13 since his successful racecourse debut and although he ran well when fourth of ten on stable debut here (1m) in December, he has failed to beat a rival in both starts since; plenty to prove. |
33/1 |
|
12th 10 (3) |
4th Feb 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Trained by Richard Hannon for a successful debut; has gone 0-12 in the meantime but it was a respectable stable debut over C&D in December and perhaps Chelmsford didn't suit last time. |
33/1 |
