14th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Rattled off a four-timer here (7f-1m) early last year but he was out of sorts in his final three runs in 2024; now only 1lb higher than for his last success but this 11yo needs a major turnaround. |

Veteran; rattled off a four-timer here (7f-1m) early in the year; weakened when sixth to a stablemate of Judgement Call over C&D six weeks ago and others appear to be on more manageable marks. |

100-1 when unseating at the start in a Class 4 AW handicap last week on return from a lengthy break; this is more his level but has a bit to prove on the wellbeing front. |

21st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Dual course winner (6f/7f) and 3lb lower than when successful at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) last September, but he can't be entertained on his performances in the meantime. |
25/1 |
|
18th 13 (1) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

The winner of 13 races, but just three of them have been on turf; yet to shine this year and he was behind a few of today's rivals over C&D last week. |
20/1 |

12th 14 (12) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Winner of 13 races and just 1lb higher than for the latest, but quiet in two starts at Southwell (6f, AW) since returning in February; needs to step up. |

5th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Doesn't win often but is down to a career-low mark and is used to doing his racing in better company; has often run well here without winning and showed more back on Tapeta last time, so there are positives on the return from a short break. |
7/1 |
|
6th 9 (2) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Winner here at 1m who has also been involved in tight finishes over C&D, most recently in January; this will probably take more winning though and he needs more than he's shown on his last two turf starts. |
9/1 |
|
13th 19 (15) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Good C&D record includes a win in this race (good to firm) off 1lb higher last year; good second at Southwell (7f) in January but always behind over C&D four months later; may well have needed that outing but needed to see more to be confident. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Versatile 7yo who has won ten times at up to 1m; hasn't made an impact since his Leicester win (6f, good to firm) in May but he had lots of traffic issues at Newbury three weeks ago; can put a line through that and he's a player if he gets some luck this time. |
8/1 |
|
6th 4 (6) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Still 4lb higher than when winning at Leicester (6f, good to firm) in May but has been pretty consistent since rejoining Tony Carroll in March and probably won't be far away. |

6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
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. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Eight-time winner on AW and 0-24 on turf but he went very close off his lower turf mark at Nottingham (8.5f, good to firm) one week ago; same mark here and must have claims in search of his turf breakthrough. |
15/8 |
|
2nd 1 (3) |
26th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Last nine starts on AW; ended a losing run when scoring at Lingfield (1m) in December but that set up for his closing style and he's not really threatened in four runs since, latterly at Kempton (7f) 113 days ago; can race off his lower turf mark today but others are more persuasive. |
