9st 4lb |
Brings strong handicap form having performed well, behind an improving Ballydoyle colt, in the Ulster Derby at Down Royal (1m5f, good) two weeks ago when taking his turf form figures to 322; went very close at Salisbury the time before; holds solid claims back at novice level. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Handled testing conditions best, bounding clear to make it 2-3 over C&D (soft; a 23l winner) four weeks ago; the handicapper has reacted, and he's now 9lb higher moving up into a Class 4; still enters calculations though, with 10lb claimer Gregor Walkingshaw retaining the ride. |

9th May 2026 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Not really firing on all cylinders when last seen in the winter but returns from 12-week break on a good mark and is versatile regarding ground; gained his only hurdle win over C&D; no surprise if he features. |

16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |

Five-time Flat winner who has a consistent profile over hurdles; handles soft ground but has a bit to find with He's Bresilian on last month's Ayr form. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 16y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Stayed on for very respectable fourth at Hereford (2m3f, good) this month, his second run in a visor, but is yet to be placed after 11 hurdling starts and needs to find something extra today. |
13/2 |

7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |

21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Didn't run badly when fifth on heavy ground at Taunton (2m3f) last week but he's 0-9 over hurdles now and needs to be perked up by a change of headgear today. |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Switched to front-running this year, including with Tapeta wins over 1m4f here in March and 2m at Southwell in April when last seen; that's career-best AW form but this race is a much higher grade and should be much harder to boss. |

2nd Nov 2023 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |

Fair form earlier in the year but rather disappointing last three starts (well beaten over C&D last time); cheekpieces now tried; others stronger. |

13th Oct 2023 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Seven-race maiden; ran well over 1m5f at Newbury in July; ties in with Heatherdown Hero on 1m7f running last month but, unlike that opponent, didn't shape as if he'll be suited by 2m. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Without a Flat win since 2023 but was placed in valuable 2m AW handicap in April and didn't run badly when sixth of 12 at Ascot (2m, good) last month; eased in grade here; can go well from the front. |
6/1 |

6th 6 (7) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Can set the pace; twice runner-up at Wolverhampton (1m6f/16.5f) during the winter and a good third of 14 in competitive event at Lingfield (2m, also AW; Tarbat Ness sixth) on Good Friday; turf no problem and he should give a good account. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 11 (14) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Often a front-runner; 1lb lower than when twice runner-up at Wolverhampton (1m6f/16.5f) during the winter and didn't enjoy much luck when behind a couple of these there last month, but the outside stall won't make things easy. |
9/1 |
