8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has recorded the majority of his wins on Newcastle AW; below par over C&D ten days ago, failing to build on his Hamilton effort; still hasn't scored on turf since 2022. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Handy sort who is 1-1 here and ran well returned to turf when beaten a short head and a neck into third of eight at Hamilton (1m, good) a fortnight ago; ground faster than good probably not ideal, though. |

A maiden after nine starts but has twice finished second on Tapeta at Newcastle (6f/7f) in recent weeks and is now 1lb lower; has a fighting chance if this switch back to turf suits. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Two wins in 2025, the second over 7f on good to firm at Wetherby; hasn't done as well this year, although fair efforts the last twice, most recently over 7f at Redcar (good to firm) last month. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Winner at Wetherby in April 2025 (7f, good to firm) and some fair runs since; hasn't been in much form on the AW this year and perhaps best watched for now. |

Triple C&D winner but he's finished in rear in his last three runs and and his last win was 12 months ago; one of three runners for the yard and he needs to turn things around. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Yet to win on turf (0-17) and his 'most recent' AW win was at Wolverhampton (6f) in December 2023; nothing positive to take from his last four starts, including when weakening quickly at Musselburgh (7f; 40-1) three weeks ago. |

All three wins came on AW in 2023 when trained by Richard Fahey; only narrowly denied by The Gay Blade over 6f at Newcastle in February but hasn't been in same form since, including behind that reopposing rival there last week. |

9th Apr 2024 Soft 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Maiden who has raced only on AW; first-time cheekpieces seemed to help when a close third at Wolverhampton (about 1m) in December but he hasn't done as well over 7f since and hard to predict how he will take to turf. |

Showed he can be competitive from his reduced mark when a close fourth over C&D last month and bit better than the result (hampered towards finish) when sixth of 14 at Yarmouth since; on the shortlist. |

16th Jul 2025 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |

24-race maiden; placed over C&D in May when blinkers were tried for the first time; not built on that in three runs since and now tried in a visor. |
16/1 |
|
7th 3 (5) |
1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Still a maiden after 23 starts but he has posted some fair efforts recently, notably when third of 11 at Bath (5.5f, firm; first-time blinkers) in May; fifth of eight at Leicester (7f, good to firm) 17 days ago and has place claims now back in trip; blinkers back on (replacing cheekpieces). |
11/1 |

14th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Still a maiden but he arrives in decent nick, fifth of ten in 5.5f Bath classified event eight days ago when very slowly away; one to consider in a change of headgear. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Only one of his ten wins has been on turf (record of 1-27); beaten less than 2l when fifth of 12 at Redcar on most recent turf run, but poor effort back on AW next time; others preferred. |
8/1 |
|
9th 11 (2) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
C&D win was sole 7f success among eight others over 6f; however, he stayed on well and only just failed to get up over Newcastle's stiff 6f in April so a good run isn't impossible in first 7f run since March 2025. |
12/1 |
|
5th 5 (9) |
26th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
Has been running well on the AW but that's more his thing, the scene of nine of his ten wins; could still have a part to play. |
