3rd 4 (4) |
25th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
He has a much better strike-rate on AW than turf and was well beaten over C&D last time; however, prior to that he was second of six at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) and is not written off today. |
9/1 |

5th 5 (5) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Eight AW wins but just one on turf, at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) last May; no match for well-treated reviver there 18 days ago but he saw the race out nicely to take a late second; can play a part. |
13/2 |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |

Scored at Chelmsford (6f) in December and not so bad as his recent form figures suggests, challenging wide when ninth in 6f Southwell handicap last month; this C&D winner is not out of things. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Dual 7f Wolverhampton winner over the winter; not discredited, given he was set a lot to do, when sixth of 11 in 7f Lingfield handicap 18 days ago; considered from an easing mark. |
16/1 |

6th 4 (3) |
14th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |

Kickstarted 2026 with success at Wolverhampton (7f) in January and got back on track when seventh of 12 in another 7f handicap there two weeks ago given he was impeded early in the straight. |

7th 5 (10) |
31st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |

Seven of his nine wins have come over C&D, the latest in January off a 2lb lower mark; down the field twice since (met early trouble on both occasions) and he has a tricky draw today. |

Ex-French filly who opened her British account with Class 5 win over C&D on penultimate start; form dipped (finished last) at Chelmsford since; has easily the worst chance at the weights upped sharply in grade. |

Ex-French; appreciated the step up in trip when winning at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) this month; did well to win then after starting slowly and just 3lb higher; didn't get much luck on her previous visit here. |

Still below his winning C&D mark in March despite 6f Chelmsford success last month; should be all the better for the return to 6f after failing to find much over 7f last month but this looks tough. |

Has come 12lb down the weights and only made the frame once this year; goes without headgear this time, having not improved for cheekpieces and then a visor, and only holds each-way claims. |

7th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
A fairly useful 6f-1m AW winner at his best for Darryll Holland, but he failed to beat a rival on his yard debut in 7f Kempton handicap in November; needs to take a big step forward after a break. |
16/1 |
|
14th 3 (5) |
27th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

He has made good progress in the last 12 months, winning three AW handicaps in the second half of 2024 and taking another step forward when scrambling home at Southwell (7f) on his return in March; less good twice since and now drops to 5f for the first time; others perhaps better treated. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
No sign at all of age wearying him during the winter, having won over C&D in November, and he returned from a break as fresh as paint with a 7f win at Southwell last month; back up 4lb; one of a few to consider. |
