Five wins include one on AW, over C&D in late 2024; beaten under a length three times on turf in 2025 and he wasn't far away in a recent C&D classified event after a short break; weights chance back in a handicap. |

Multiple turf sprint and C&D winner; losing run stands at 18 starts and although he went close on turf at Redcar in November, he was below par in two AW starts since. |

Close second at Redcar last time; 0-15 this year and ran poorly in last four AW attempts but defied a 10lb higher mark at Southwell a year ago; very attractively handicapped and enters calculations. |

Ex-Richard Hannon; not at his best this year and although well handicapped as a result, has plenty to find on recent efforts; tongue-tie now tried. |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Regressed since notching a slow-ground hat-trick early in his 3yo season and he was well beaten on reappearance (6f, good to firm); dropped another 4lb but he's unproven over this trip; lots to prove. |

21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Regressed since notching a soft-ground hat-trick early in his 3yo season and is entitled to need this after nine months off; only run once on ground faster than good, when a beaten-favourite, so these conditions would be a concern. |

Can front-run; three of his four wins have been at this track but he's been disappointing since his C&D win in October; still 3lb higher than for that last success and he needs to turn things around. |

Generally struggled for this yard last year but he's become more realistically treated again now; last month's Newcastle reappearance should have blown away any cobwebs but he has done his winning on AW and has something to prove on slow turf. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |

Two AW wins this winter; never in the hunt at Wetherby last month on his return to turf but he is effective over C&D and seems to handle any ground; not ruled out. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 5 |

Two AW wins at Newcastle over the winter; his form has cooled more recently but today's return to Class 5 company will help and the cheekpieces return after being discarded last time. |

2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |

Just 1lb higher than for his 5f win at Newcastle on New Year's Day; three runs since have not been quite so encouraging though and he may prove vulnerable back up at 6f. |

9th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Raced prominently when both a C&D winner (good to soft) in a fillies' novice event in April and when adding another win on her handicap debut at Ayr (7f, good) next time, when 1lb higher; has not been able to get close to that form in four more starts, but off this mark she's not written off back here. |

15th Sep 2023 Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Three poor efforts since two wins in the spring, latterly when a remote last of three at Haydock; again pulled hard there and perhaps the drop from 7f, coming out of stall 1 today, will help, but she has it to prove now. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Acts on good to soft, much more to prove on soft; won the Cesarewitch at Newmarket (2m2f, good to firm; 10lb higher today) last October and had some very solid AW form over 1m2f-2m this year, prior to tailing off at 50-1 in the Group 3 Ormonde at Chester four weeks ago; he's not on a bad mark but plenty needs to go right if one of his late rushes is to prevail in this. |

7th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 84y Class 1 |

Versatile and consistent handicapper who landed the 2025 Cesarewitch (2m2f) in most recent turf attempt and has been placed in all AW starts (1m2f-2m) this year; however, faces a very difficult task at the weights upped in class. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Her front-running C&D win last May came off just 1lb lower; ended 2025 quietly but she returned to form after six months off, keeping on well for second at Musselburgh (5f, good) 32 days ago; takes on some less-exposed 3yos but likely to go well. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |

Dual C&D winner who has mainly performed well since winning from 2lb lower at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) in May; possible excuses for her last two defeats and could go well back here. |

15th Sep 2023 Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |

Off since a poor effort ten weeks ago; the return to softer ground should help but his spring win came from the front over a stiff 7.4f and he'll do well to dictate from stall 12. |

8th Jul 2023 Good 0m 7f 37y Class 3 |

Readily made all at Beverley (7.4f, soft) in May, for which he went up 8lb to this mark; back to form with solid fourth at Chester (7.5f, good) last Friday but needs something extra to come out on top today. |
