8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Versatile tactically; his only two wins were in 2023 but this highly reliable handicapper has been runner-up in six of his seven races since, including in useful company and also over 2m when he wore cheekpieces on last three occasions (hung right and lost out to a rallying rival last time); now tries blinkers and has each-way claims from low draw. |
11/2 |

2nd 7 (7) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Versatile tactically; off since last July but short-headed last May after a longer absence and he was also runner-up on his two other starts last term, taking his handicap record to 121224222; upped to 2m with cheekpieces enlisted for last two outings, one of which was on Chelmsford Polytrack; edging up the weights but should go well again. |
3/1 |

2nd 1 (2) |
25th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Sound efforts at Newmarket (1m6f) and Chelmsford (2m, AW) this season, taking handicap record to 12122422; the cheekpieces worn last time are retained; up another 2lb but again looks a solid contender. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Dual 2m course winner in early part of last season; has mixed record since and is not yet proven over this far but seemed to have benefited from a wind operation when close third of five here (2m, good) last month. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 5 |
17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Dual C&D winner on good ground in early part of last season; below best on all three starts since returning from a break this spring, with his C&D run three weeks ago particularly disappointing, but he's well handicapped if a recent wind op proves successful. |
9/2 |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won twice here last summer and some sign of a return to form when fourth at Warwick last week; this mark isn't a gift but has each-way claims. |

20th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
She has dropped a long way in the weights since joining this yard and hasn't made a major impact; latest Chelmsford third (beaten over 7l) was a bit better but she will need to step forward again to take this. |
11/2 |

15th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
On a losing run of 13 but ran better when fourth of ten at Wolverhampton (16.5f, Tapeta) last month, even though a slow pace probably didn't suit; last visit here resulted in a win over this trip just over two years ago and he's 12lb lower now; interesting. |

14th Feb 2025 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Unraced here but all five wins have come on the AW and he's fine on Tapeta; hasn't been getting the breaks in his recent races and one to consider, for all that he's not shone when previously tried in cheekpieces. |
8/1 |
|
5th 2 (5) |
27th Jan 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All of his five wins have been on AW and latest was off this mark over C&D last March; finished fifth in both runs for new yard this winter but he didn't get much luck on the first occasion and was beaten less than 3l at Lingfield last time; could be dangerous if he can find something extra. |

Gained only win from 13 starts in a Tapeta seller but ran quite well when third (albeit no threat to clear winner) at Bath (11.6f, good) 11 days ago; continues to edge down the weights; each-way claims at least. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Beaten on his last 14 starts but he was a good second of 17 over 1m4f here (good) at the Dante meeting in May; freshened up since a disappointing effort at Thirsk six weeks ago. |
8/1 |
|
8th 2 (7) |
31st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Beaten on his last 13 starts going back to last May but he's been a good second on two of his last three starts, most recently in a big field at York (1m4f, good) this month; every chance he'll again be bang there. |
4/1 |

2nd 4 (7) |
13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won this (good to firm) on return last year by a neck off 4lb higher than today; subsequent efforts have never quite lived up to that, albeit runner-up on Kempton AW last September and this March; first 1m2f run for ages when disappointing on latest start; could bounce back with each-way claims. |

Both chase wins were over 2m4f on good ground at Hexham and nearly won again at Kelso ten days ago when headed on the run-in; same mark. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |

Both chase wins were over 2m4f on good ground at Hexham last year, latest in August; close third over same C&D last time and worth considering. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |

C&D winner in May and August (good) last year; has been in good form both over fences and on the Flat (second over 2m5f at Pontefract 11 days ago) on last four starts; conditions suit and he's a contender. |

23rd Aug 2023 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Won at Windsor (11.4f, good; under Georgia Dobie) in July; mixed record but her only start since was creditable when a close third of five over 1m5f; unraced over this far and it needs to spark some improvement. |
