9th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Has won six of her last eight races, all over 1m, on ground varying from good to firm to heavy; on a career-higher mark and didn't run up to her best at Sandown last time, but no surprise if she were to bounce back. |

5th Sep 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Made it 5-6 this season and over this trip when winning over C&D off a 3lb lower mark four weeks ago; that was a weak handicap but she won't mind the faster ground and looks the one to beat again. |

9th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won here over 7f in February either side of wins over this trip at Kempton; encountered a wide trip when down the field in a higher grade than this last time and he may well be able to bounce back. |
8/1 |

8th 11 (8) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Arrives seeking a four-timer, two of the wins over C&D, and he hasn't been treated punitively by the assessor having gone up just 6lb; this is a much stiffer test of his credentials but there are no doubts surrounding his wellbeing. |
12/1 |
|
1st 6 (8) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Has started 2026 with wins over C&D and in a small field at Wolverhampton (7f); only 1lb higher on the hat-trick bid but this is more competitive and he's drawn widest. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Returned to form and rewarded heavy market support at Bangor (2m4f, good; tongue-tie refitted) last month, his fifth start for Dan Skelton; just a respectable sixth under penalty in the Red Rum at Aintree (2m, good to soft) nine days later and his mark is another 5lb higher here, but he remains very much of interest. |
11/4 |
|
6th 15 |
9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 176y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
Well-backed, even-money favourite at Bangor (2m4f) last Tuesday, when reverting to good ground in a reapplied tongue-tie and returning to form with a convincing win; 9lb higher in a much hotter race today but not ruled out for his top yard on the back of that stylish success. |
9/1 |
|
1st 8 |
31st Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Maiden chaser and with an overall strike-rate of 2-32; he hasn't got anything going over fences for current yard but he's dropped sharply in the weights and getting back on good ground can only help; would be interesting if the market offered encouragement. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Races mainly on AW where he has six wins; 1-15 in this sphere and may be worth waiting until he returns to AW. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 3 (7) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Consistent spell under Ryan Kavanagh during the winter but resumes from a short break still on a career-high mark as a result (3lb above his highest successful rating); more likely than most to give his running, though, possibly from the front again. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 (7) |
29th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Dual course winner who has been running well since landing a handicap at Lingfield (1m, AW) in November; can go well again. |

9th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Has not finished closer than 8l to a winner in his five starts including two handicaps (1m, good/heavy); mark is falling but this step up to 1m4f needs to make a big difference. |

8st 10lb |
Made a pleasing debut in April but beaten 14l and 19l since then, latterly losing all chance at the start; has time to steady the ship but this is no easy start to handicap career. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
Beat Winged Messenger in a big-field 6f handicap at York last summer and he is 11lb better off with that rival today; went close at Southwell in April but he wasn't in the same form at Ascot 16 days ago; should be winning soon but perhaps not today. |
10/1 |
|
9th 17 (18) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Just missed out at Southwell ten days ago (6f), finishing off his race strongly; 1lb higher mark and stronger opposition to contend with but his proven record in big-field events (first of 21, first of 22 and fourth of 24 on the three occasions he's run in fields of 16+) bodes well. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 7 (8) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Triple AW winner who is just 1lb higher than when beating his 21 rivals at York last July (following wind surgery; winning the race for the second year in succession); completely blew the start at Wolverhampton last time and best watched today. |
15/2 |
