4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Won over 1m at Dundalk in December but seems to have lost his way in his last few starts; needs first-time tongue-tie to work the oracle. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Continues to edge down the weights and he's well treated on the pick of this winter's course form; however, he appears to have gone off the boil on his last few outings and needs to raise his game. |
8/1 |

6th 9 (5) |
11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

2lb lower than for his Newcastle win in December but his form has gone off the boil more recently; Billy Loughnane, who was aboard for the Newcastle win, is back on today so a revival wouldn't be a bolt from the blue. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Took a step back in the right direction with his close sixth at Haydock on latest start and he's back in the visor in which his last five wins have come, including two last season (7f, good to firm); entitled to respect. |
18/1 |

25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 37y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Came good at Goodwood last August (7f, good to firm), running on strongly to bag a Class 2 handicap; faced a stiff task in a Thirsk conditions event on his reappearance two weeks ago; opposable with his usual visor remaining absent. |
16/1 |

7th 1 (4) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Useful sort who landed fast-ground handicap wins over C&D and at Goodwood last year; however, he has plenty to find on these terms and failed to beat a rival on his reappearance in 2024 and 2025. |

19th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Effective here (and on various ground); placed three times in a row this August/September (1m/7f) but only seventh of 18 in the Challenge Cup here (7f, soft) a fortnight ago and needs a bigger performance today. |
33/1 |
|
10 (3) |
5th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Returned in July from ten months off and has run well in his last three starts, third of nine at Sandown (7f, soft) last time, but he has managed to win only one of his last 25 starts and is still 5lb higher; addition of a tongue-tie needs to make a difference. |
25/1 |
|
3rd 1 (2) |
13th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Shaped well on reappearance (found trouble) and bang there in his subsequent races, over 1m at Newmarket and C&D 13 days ago (first-time cheekpieces); hard to offer any excuses on either occasion and, now 3-31, he's looking a hard horse to catch right. |

Veteran whose losing run goes back to his success in the 2022 Bunbury Cup; down the field in two races at Kempton since returned to AW but his Newcastle record (1213) offers hope for a revival. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Winless since August 2024 but he's hinted at promise of late, set plenty to do (also slipped on bend) when seventh of 12 in 7f Thirsk handicap two weeks ago; needs considering off a falling mark. |
9/1 |
|
7th 10 (8) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Hasn't won for nearly two years but he's well handicapped now and he shaped much better than the result suggests when seventh of ten at Haydock (7f, good; badly hampered over 1f out) last Saturday; should go close if getting the rub of the green this time. |
10/1 |
|
7th 6 (2) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
He should be winning races off this mark and his down-the-field effort at Doncaster six weeks ago isn't the race to judge him on; better can be expected back up at 7f. |

30th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
All races at 1m; looked good when winning sole 2yo start last autumn (good to soft); ran to a similar level in novices in 2023 but looked an awkward ride on handicap debut at York in August and cheekpieces now fitted on the drop to 7f; needs to show he can handle a less conventional track. |

31st May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Ended 2025 with two good runs but he has been well short of that level in two runs this year, a wind op before the latest making no difference; tongue tie returns; risky despite his reduced mark. |
20/1 |

11th 9 (8) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
First win was on turf (7f) and last two have been on Tapeta (8.6f); reached the frame in two starts at Wolverhampton in December but he had a major blip there the following month; had another wind operation since and needs a major revival after four months off. |

Often leads; useful 7f form at Haydock in the summer, winning then chasing home an improver (both on good to firm); failed to stay 1m next time but he wasn't himself at Epsom since (course winner as 2yo); down the list this time. |
