16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
More modest runs than good ones in 2025 but he did bolt up at Doncaster last June (6f, good to firm) and he is 4lb lower now; needs to leave his reappearance effort well behind him and he has finished down the field in his two visits here. |

Modest strike-rate (2-29) but she did go mightily close over 7f at Southwell in September; subsequent turf efforts at York and Doncaster (both Class 4) were okay and she ran to a similar level back on AW latest; first go over 1m2f since the summer of 2023. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Now 11lb lower than when successful for David O'Meara last autumn but has lost his way; it's a long time since he won on turf and even longer since he ran in a sprint, so he is hard to fancy back from a break. |
33/1 |

8lb lower than when successful for David O'Meara over C&D in October, but has lost his way including in five starts for this yard; drops into a Class 6 for the first time in his career, but has plenty to prove; cheekpieces return. |

C&D scorer who resumed winning ways in 7f Southwell handicap 34 days ago, gamely making all; up 3lb but he remains with relatively few miles on the clock and can go very well again. |
5/2 |
|
1st 3 (7) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Hugely progressive in 2023/early 2024, winning six times; short of his best in two runs in 2025 but his latest close fourth at Kempton was a step back in the right direction; he will need another step forward to take this but it's not out of the question. |
5/1 |
|
2 (6) |
14th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Handy sort who proved highly progressive last winter, completing a four-timer over 7f on Tapeta including a win here; off since a lesser performance in a Wolverhampton Listed contest (7f, Tapeta) last March and will need to be as good as ever to defy this mark on his return; market may be revealing. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Plenty of C&D form in big fields, notably wins on good to soft in 2023 and July 2025; while not so striking as Leadman, he didn't have the best of runs when fifth of 22 over C&D eight days ago, so might step up a bit today. |
10/1 |
|
5th 12 (8) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has plenty of C&D form, notably wins in 2023 and 2025 (good to soft) and respectable fourth (off current mark) in this race 12 months ago; thereabouts provided he improves on efforts elsewhere this term. |
13/2 |
|
5th 8 (4) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
He finished down the field in this race 12 months ago but he has had the benefit of a run this time around and a promising effort it was too, shuffled back at a crucial stage but keeping on close home (7f, good to soft); his record at York suggests one eye may be on next month's Dante meeting but he's more than capable off this mark. |

18th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Produced a telling turn of foot to prevail in a bunch finish in a slowly run contest at Lingfield (1m2f, Polytrack) 15 days ago, ending a 21-race losing run; only 2lb higher, but steps up in trip again so his stamina will be tested further, especially if this is more truly run. |

Won three over this trip for Marco Botti but does most racing now over 7f and does need things to fall just so (landed only one of his last 21); 4lb above his last successful mark and needs to improve on this spring's two efforts. |

8th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Three heavy defeats at big prices in 6f handicaps at York this summer; easy to write off this 11yo on that evidence but he comes alive at Newmarket (six wins and three placed efforts from 14 visits) and he is 9lb lower than when a close third behind Spring Bloom and Dashing Dick in this race last year; revival would come as no surprise. |

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. |

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. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |

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. |

Showed useful form for previous yard; 0-11 for current stable but last few efforts, most recently going close off this mark at Leicester (7f) last week, suggest his turn is near; appears to have a leading chance (due to go up 3lb from tomorrow). |

Capable of smart form when trained by Charles Hills; struggled initially for this yard but there was much more encouragement off his much-reduced mark at Ayr last week (1m, good to soft), keeping on strongly having met trouble in running; can't discount now he's found his level. |
