1st Nov 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

11lb below his last winning mark and ran well when a close fourth of ten over C&D early last month, but twice held over 1m back here since; not quite sure what to expect. |

Finished well for fourth over 7f here two starts ago ago but faded into sixth when back up to 1m in refitted blinkers here last time and remains without a win this year; cheekpieces given another whirl today. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
He returned to form when third of 14 at Ayr (7f, soft) in September and backed it up, despite hanging, when scoring over that C&D (heavy) 17 days ago; up 3lb but he's won off higher and on good ground; can go well providing stall 20 proves no barrier. |

1st 2 (3) |
29th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Disappointing this year but has dropped down the weights and he was back on song when third over C&D (soft) recently; this C&D winner can be in the mix if backing up that latest effort. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 2 (12) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |

C&D winner but has struggled badly in recent starts, including failing to beat a rival on AW 12 days ago; regular blinkers were left off then but return now; hard to build up too much enthusiasm. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |

Should be well treated now but his season hasn't caught light yet, including when well beaten three weeks ago after a three-month break; capable but not a solid option. |
9/1 |
|
15th 10 (10) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
His last success was 16 months ago but that was off 6lb higher and he didn't get much luck when fifth at Carlisle in June; could be dangerous back up in trip, but he probably wouldn't want the ground to dry out (most of his wins have been on good or slower). |
14/1 |

5th 1 (2) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |

Had wind surgery prior to Ayr reappearance effort that seemed to be needed; gained most recent success off 4lb higher over C&D (good to soft) just over a year ago and looks interesting back here. |

Four of his six wins have come over C&D, two this summer; third of ten here 18 days ago too and looks set to be in the shake-up. |
11/2 |

3rd 9 (6) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 5 |

Four C&D wins (good and good to firm; has won on good to soft), seeing off stablemate Keep Me Stable last month; lesser effort here 18 days ago, though, and will need more today. |
12/1 |

6th 9 (8) |
25th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |

Successful four times over C&D, including in last two starts, beating stablemate Keep Me Stable by 1l latest; this 8yo retains plenty of vitality and is still well handicapped on historical data; beaten in this race for last three years (form figures 002) but warrants respect in current form. |

20th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Started this season with a 7f win at Thirsk (soft; 9-2) in April but he's not come close to that form since; now 2lb lower than for last win but he needs a major upturn in form; tongue-tie back on. |
25/1 |
|
6th 8 (8) |
21st Sep 2023 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Hard to get excited by his recent efforts but he has dipped back to the mark he was successful from at Thirsk (7f, soft) in the spring and it wouldn't be a surprise to see him stage a revival back from a short break. |
16/1 |

7th 7 (6) |
30th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Returned from a six-month absence to beat his nine rivals at Thirsk in April (7f, soft), completing a hat-trick in the process; three lesser efforts have followed and the returning tongue-tie (worn for his first two wins) needs to turn things around. |

6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Hold-up performer who needs the cards to fall right; losing run stretches back to July 2024 and others appeal more for win purposes. |
14/1 |

6th 7 (11) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
7-91 but without a win since July 2024; didn't get the breaks when fifth at Southwell (6f) on penultimate start and was an encouraging third to an in-form pair over C&D (beaten under 2l) 11 days ago; a likely player under Mulrennan. |
4/1 |
|
13 (13) |
18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Three-time course scorer; on a long losing sequence but holds a good chance off current mark, provided he takes well to first-time visor; has won in cheekpieces. |

Has drawn a blank since winning in small field over C&D in April 2022; hasn't shaped too badly in some of his recent starts but he was down the field at Carlisle last time. |
11/1 |

7th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
No win since April 2022 (7f, Ayr) but has slipped to a workable mark, running consistently at Musselburgh; didn't enjoy a great deal of luck when a closing fourth over 7f there last week; returns to a trip which probably suits best; stablemate of Loom Large. |
7/1 |
|
4th 8 (8) |
30th Aug 2023 Good 0m 7f 33y Class 6 |

Beaten 16 times since last win last April but he's run three good races over C&D this season and is edging down the weights; each-way possible. |

26th Apr 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Gets away with this trip but it's easy to argue 7f suits ideally; pulled hard on heavy ground last time and is better than that but he'd been turned over as favourite three times on the spin previously and there's little room for manoeuvre off this mark. |

Just 1lb higher than when winning at Carlisle (6f, good to firm) in July and runner-up on soft ground last season; however, he's been well beaten on his last four starts, the latest here yesterday. |
