4th 7 (7) |
18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
He's won just one of his last 23 starts and has failed to fire on his last two outings; however, he had a tough assignment in the John Smith's Cup at York last Saturday and he's dropped to a handy mark; runner-up to the 4-7 favourite in this race last year and he's not ruled out. |
9/1 |

20th 21 (4) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Some good C&D form, beaten just a neck in a big field last August (good to firm) and fourth of 16 two starts ago (good); he has an each-way squeak if he's on song but that wasn't the case at Newcastle last time (slowly away) and he's won just one of his last 22 starts. |
66/1 |

8th 12 (3) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
His 2-3 AW record includes a comfortable C&D win off only 1lb lower last September; arrives on the back of two good efforts in strong turf handicaps and a bold bid looks assured now back on AW. |

6th 10 (8) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
8st 4lb |
Course winner (1m2f) when trained by Archie Watson; struggled for this yard in 2025 and the addition of a tongue tie and return of cheekpieces aren't enough to tempt. |
50/1 |
|
9th 6 (9) |
22nd Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Has dropped down the weights and his trainer is among the winners; however, he's struggled in the main this season and has been beaten 16 times since his sole win in March 2024. |
16/1 |
|
9 (3) |
14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Sole win came for previous trainer Archie Watson over 1m2f at Newcastle (11-8 favourite) in March 2024; 0-11 for this trainer and continues to slide in the weights; has plenty of work to do with Monhammer and Ahamoment on recent C&D evidence. |

2nd 7 (4) |
11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Four wins, two seconds and two thirds to his name from ten runs over C&D and bounced back to form 18 days ago (7f, Polytrack) on his first start since undergoing a second round of wind surgery; on a very attractive mark if building on that. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 8 (9) |
21st Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
All five wins have been on AW at Newcastle; has been below his best of late and has had his second bout of wind surgery since his last run; hard to fancy. |

11st 0lb |
in touch with leaders, weakened before 2 out |
25/1 |
|
6th 14 (3) |
14th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
8st 6lb |
No improvement for the step up to 1m3f and 1m5f on last two starts and this extra distance asks some serious questions. |
25/1 |
|
5th 6 (6) |
31st Aug 2024 Standard 1m 5f 66y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
0-5 and unable to threaten for his two previous yard, and soundly beaten sixth of seven on this month's stable debut at Yarmouth (11.4f); first-time cheekpieces need to prompt a much bigger performance. |
16/1 |
