8th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 2 |

Progressive last year, with two wins, and not disgraced in good handicaps at Royal Ascot and York the last twice, but needs to raise his game. |

9st 1lb |
All five wins at 7f, on AW and turf, but he couldn't raise his game when well held off just 1lb higher in a similar C&D handicap (good) in October and this again looks a step too far. |

2nd Sep 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Won a 1m handicap here (good ground) in May on his final start for Roger Varian and has shaped well back here (1m again) on two of his three subsequent starts for current yard; may need to get the breaks from the inside stall but he's one to be interested in from his mark and the drop to 7f shouldn't pose a problem for one who tends to race freely. |
5/1 |

4th 6 (2) |
20th Aug 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Below par at Newmarket last time but the hood adopted that day is now left off, and he'd previously run two good races in a row over this C&D, with a win and a good fifth of 15 (the latter on stable debut); not ruled out. |
11/1 |

6th 5 (10) |
22nd Jul 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Unexposed 4yo who won twice for Roger Varian, the latest on his Sandown reappearance (1m, good; first start since being gelded) in May; not beaten far into fifth of 15 on stable debut over the same C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago, but needs to find a bit more from the same mark; hood given a go; yard also runs Maysong. |

12th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Safely held in two valuable 7f handicaps on the Rowley Mile in May and needs to up his game today but it's worth noting he's now 3lb lower than when winning this race by a neck under Neil Callan a year ago (good to soft). |

Seven wins on the AW; consistent in the main and ran okay over the 8.6f here ten days ago, leaving the impression that this longer trip is worth another go. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |

Seven times an AW winner, twice over C&D; back to his last winning mark and Jack Mitchell takes over from a 7lb claimer; one to take seriously. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Last five wins have come on the AW including when completing a hat-trick in the spring; has winning form on good to firm ground, but his last two efforts since returning to turf need improving upon. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Was recording wins eight, nine and ten when rattling off an AW hat-trick this spring (1m-8.6f); the wheels came off when well-beaten over C&D 33 days ago, however, and this mark looks beyond him. |
20/1 |

10th 6 (3) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Resurgent 8yo who has rattled off a hat-trick on AW this spring including a clearcut win at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month; this is tougher off 9lb higher but he remains feasibly treated on his old form and is a five-time winner on turf; key player. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

Formerly with William Haggas and Willie Mullins; consistent for this yard and deserved his battling win over C&D latest; can run well again off just 3lb higher. |
7/2 |
|
1st 1 (9) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Not the force of old but he retains ability and has performed with credit for his new yard this year, most recently finishing second of nine at Pontefract 12 days ago (6f, good); down in class today and should go well despite his small rise in the weights. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 8 (3) |
2nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Form for new yard this term comprises two placed efforts over 1m and a running-on sixth over 7f; useful over 6f early in career but isn't crying out for the return to this trip. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Slowly away on his last three starts; runner-up over 6f here in April following a break; hasn't built on that on turf on his two starts since (6f) but he made late headway at Chester last time and the return to 7f may be a good move; could be involved back here. |
8/1 |

6th 9 (5) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 3 |
8st 4lb |
There were hopes he was rediscovering his level when chasing home Station X at Southwell (6f, AW) in April but his return to turf didn't go particularly well when again slowly away before finishing down the field at Doncaster last Friday; out of the weights today and others more solid. |
25/1 |
|
10th 15 (5) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Dual turf winner who last won in August 2023; had reduced mark and regular hood removed when back to some form for second of six at Southwell (6f, AW; Alondra third) in April; could be rediscovering his level and he's not dismissed from the same mark. |
