24th Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
4-29 on turf and although he hasn't won on genuine soft ground he again showed he acts on it when second at Bath (5.7f) latest; each-way player. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 4 (5) |
21st Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has patchy record but he won on fast ground at Windsor (5f) in July and was beaten less than 2l on soft at Redcar (fourth of 11) last time; seems tactically versatile and he's not ruled out on this drop back on grade. |
13/2 |

5th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Dropped away in the final furlong in the race won Our Absent Friends at Ripon last week; Paul Mulrennan is a good booking (close fourth on him at Newmarket 11 months ago) but others appeal more. |

9th Aug 2023 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Dual 5f AW winner this year; ought to have handled the soft ground better when down the field at Chester last month but was creditable second from awkward draw there (6f, good) two starts ago; no surprise if he makes a bold bid from the front here. |
12/1 |

7th 8 (3) |
14th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 110y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Two front-running wins at Lingfield (6f and 5f; AW) this year; good second over 6f here four weeks ago (drawn wide); better berthed today and still feasibly treated; may have stablemate Recon Mission to worry about for the early lead. |

26th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Last two wins at 6f but has been shaping as if this return to 5f will suit; defied higher marks twice under Pat Cosgrave in the summer of 2022 and holds major claims on that form. |

Won a big race over C&D in 2022 off 6lb higher; only 1lb higher than for her game success at Chelmsford in November but she'll need to be somewhere near her best on this return from five months off. |

30th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Enhanced his excellent course record when narrowly landing a 5f handicap at the May meeting; stays 7f but rarely seen at the trip now; may prove vulnerable to stronger stayers. |
11/2 |
|
1st 3 (3) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Chester specialist whose seven course wins include this race last year (off current mark under Oisin Murphy) and Listed event later in 2025; inconsistent elsewhere since but commands respect returned to the Roodee; favourably drawn. |
3/1 |
|
12th 7 (4) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Well handicapped on his best form last season but he's not easy to predict and has been up and down during another spell in Bahrain since December; comes with risks attached back in Britain and most of his wins have been at Chester; tongue-tie worn last time is removed. |

11th Mar 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has form in better races than this but he's on a losing run now and failed to benefit from a drop to this level at Southwell (6f) last month; needs revival back over 7f on course debut. |
6/1 |
|
6th 2 (4) |
7th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Losing run up to 16, but he has winning form over C&D and drops to this level for the first time; not beaten far the last twice and a major player on these terms; cheekpieces removed. |

30th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Multiple AW and turf winner from 5f-7f; back on his last winning turf mark from Ayr 13 months ago (has twice won on AW since); below par latest but not ruled out if able to bounce back. |
10/1 |
|
6th 9 (3) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won twice (6f/7f) in February and he was a good second to a thriving rival over C&D in his bid for a hat-trick; beaten off a lower mark twice since and more minor money perhaps his best hope. |
8/1 |
|
5th 9 (6) |
17th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Dual course winner last month who's continued in form since, faring best of those held up when not far behind Bomb Squad over C&D on Friday; one of the likelier winners. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Four of his six wins have come over C&D, including the corresponding race in 2024; drew a blank in 2025 but retains ability and he has run some solid races in defeat this year too, keeping on for fourth at Beverley 18 days ago; drops in class but he has the widest stall to contend with. |
8/1 |

4th 7 (6) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

9yo who is on an 18-race losing run; good second over C&D last July (good to firm) and is now 3lb lower. |
10/1 |

5th 4 (1) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has won two of three C&D starts (good and good to firm), the latest in July 2024; went very close to breaking the losing run when involved in a tight finish on Southwell AW in March; convincing claims. |

7th 12 (3) |
26th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Still 8lb higher than when winning over C&D in September, but narrow defeats off similar marks to this in his last two outings suggest he is capable of playing a part. |
9/2 |
|
3 (9) |
27th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
A string of good runs at Brighton before collecting by 3l over C&D in a race that panned out to perfection; bled from the nose when disappointing at Brighton last time but he's 7lb higher than for his penultimate run and could have competition for the lead back on AW. |

One-time useful sprinter but his powers are on the wane; showed he could still cut it at this level when a close fourth over C&D last month but he'll need the pace to collapse if he's to end his barren spell. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Behind on his only run here (2023); Doncaster last June saw his only turf win since 2021, amidst plenty of AW success admittedly but he was out of form in February when last seen; has a competitive mark but other cases look a bit more solid, particularly as he's drawn wide. |
33/1 |

13th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |

Six-time course winner, most recently off 2lb lower in December; finished an aggregate of almost 3l behind Diamondonthehill in two subsequent starts; that solid rival seems to have the upper hand. |
3/1 |
|
6th 3 (3) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Record of 10-46 on AW, the most recent success at Wolverhampton in December; respectable fourth to Echalar there in follow-up attempt and remains in form. |
