9th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Had been banging at the door prior to his 7f win at Lingfileld last month; a 4lb rise for that win demands more but he has had few chances in this headgear. |
5/1 |
|
1st 1 (8) |
7th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
All eight wins have been at sprint trips and seven have been on turf; record of 1-17 on AW but he's a reliable type who has been placed on Tapeta (6f) and Polytrack (7f) in last three runs; remains well treated on old form and he should go well again. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 7 (4) |
28th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
1lb lower than for his Hamilton win in July (6f, good) and he has run well in defeat on his last two starts, close up in fourth over C&D ten days ago; Ethan Tindall takes off a useful 7lb and he is more appealing than many; won't mind what the ground does. |

Six turf wins but below form lately; has run well enough on AW from just five starts but others preferred today. |

23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 15y |
9st 5lb |
Won this race in 2020 and again last year off 1lb higher; likely to have needed his latest outing when behind a few of these at Roscommon and Oisin Murphy is an eye-catching booking; looks to have been laid out for this; interesting. |

1st Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 0m 7f 94y |

First reserve; the last of his six wins came at Listowel 11 months ago; not a bad effort there on sole run this year but needs more. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
1-34 on the AW, that win coming over 6f at Southwell in April 2021; rather out of sorts over 6f-1m this year and now tries 5f for the first time since May 2024. |
33/1 |

11th 11 (9) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Without a victory since 2023 and he has yet to make the frame in seven starts in 2026; hard to warm to. |
33/1 |
|
6th 9 (5) |
23rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Minor classified form at 1m, 7f and 6f this year and it's 13 months since he posed a serious threat in a handicap (over 7f at Southwell); up against it. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
More productive on AW (5-17) than on turf (2-28) and was only run out of it inside the final furlong at Newcastle (7f Class 5; 9-1) in March; less effective since (0-2) but is slowly easing in the weights, and is perhaps best suited by 6f. |
11/1 |
|
9th 4 (3) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Seven-time winner who scored off 1lb higher over C&D in September; has been hit and miss since but he finished second here (7f) on his penultimate run and wasn't disgraced after an awkward start at Southwell last time; usually races prominently and he's not ruled out back at this track. |

26th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Hasn't kicked on from his Ascot win in May (6f, soft) and he was doing all his best work late on behind Dashing Dick at Newmarket 15 days ago (6f); this sharper test doesn't look favourable. |

8th Jul 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
All turf form on soft ground; opened his account at Ascot in May; below par at Thirsk (again over 6f) since but generally consistent otherwise and may bounce back; placed twice over 7f on AW. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Not seen on turf since 2024 but is well treated on best Newcastle AW form and has won over this C&D; admittedly needs to stage a revival judged on 2026 efforts. |

7th 5 (7) |
1st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

Prolific here during the 2024/25 AW season but he's beaten one rival in two starts after an absence; couldn't support with any confidence. |

Record is 3-42, the most recent win over two years ago; finished just behind Invitorio when fourth of ten over C&D 11 days ago; dropped 2lb. |

19th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Went close on his seasonal return at Pontefract in June (6f, good to firm); backwards steps since then and losing run looks set to continue. |

9th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |

It's now 20 starts since his last success and he arrives out of sorts, sixth in 6f Ayr handicap 29 days ago; he's hard to make a case for. |

28th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 89y Class 4 |

On a handy mark judged on AW form towards end of last year but hasn't performed at the same level this season and needs to raise her game. |

20th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Her best efforts have come on AW but she's effective on fast turf; low-key run at York on Saturday; others appeal more for win purposes. |

17th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Pretty useful sprint 2yo last year but hasn't posed a serious threat in three handicap starts over 6f/7f this term, the latest at Newbury only ten days ago; the sole 3yo in the line-up; others more obvious. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Continues to edge down the weights, but losing run is up to 19 and the application of a tongue-tie made little difference last time; something to prove on his first attempt over this far. |
11/2 |

4th 3 (6) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Ran just four times last season and was runner-up on three occasions (7f/1m, various ground); down the field on reappearance at Kempton (1m, AW) four weeks ago but may have needed that outing and it will be no surprise if he's in the mix; a tongue-tie is added. |
7/2 |

8th 1 (4) |
1st Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

He finished second in three of his four starts in 2025, including on his seasonal return, but was still operating at a level below his old form; drops into 0-70 for the first time; not discounted. |

Holds weak claims on his form this winter for new yard; possibly found 5f too sharp last time but returning to 7f may not be the answer; 6f has looked his optimum trip. |
