31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
6lb below his last winning mark and does have form on soft ground, but he finished behind four of these over C&D (good to firm) on his penultimate start and a record of 1-24 on turf does pose a question. |
16/1 |
|
5th 4 (8) |
19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Five of his six wins have come on AW, including C&D; last won at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) in January; not so good on turf of late but he's dangerously handicapped if the switch back to AW prompts a revival. |
6/1 |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 4 |

Five of his six wins have been on the AW but consistent handicapper on all surfaces and ran well in a Class 3 at Doncaster latest (7f; fine at 1m); thereabouts. |

7th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Smart performer on AW, winning this race in 2024 and third 12 months ago; cheekpieces have given him a lift of late, winning a 7f handicap at Kempton ten days ago; still on a handy mark and he is sure to be popular. |
7/1 |
|
1st 3 (4) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Goes well fresh and should cope if it gets tactical given all three of his C&D wins were achieved in single-figure fields; pushing two years since he last got his head in front but the handicapper is giving him a chance and he responded well to first-time cheekpieces (retained here) when fifth over track and trip last time; of significant interest. |

6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Record of 4-13 on AW and 3-4 at Kempton; below par returned to this sphere ten weeks ago and losing run is mounting up but a revival would put him in the picture; 1lb below last winning mark. |

11th 4 (2) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 177y Class 4 |

Smart handicapper at his peak but his form tailed off in the second half of 2025; has a reduced mark to work with as a result but the betting is perhaps the best guide after 198 days off. |

Has raced exclusively on AW (mostly Polytrack) and strike-rate is 5-10; respectable fifth of 14 when 20-1 for valuable race at Newcastle on latest start but this is his first run beyond 1m, as well as first on turf, and he probably needs a career best; a bit to prove. |

Five turf wins but has done most of his winning on the AW; surprising to see blinkers back on having won in a visor at Chester last month and then beaten only 4l in a Class 2 handicap at Goodwood; if that doesn't backfire then has possibilities. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |

On a long losing sequence and current mark reflects a general decline in his form; not particularly solid on 2026 efforts and it's still over five years since his only turf win. |
16/1 |
|
6th 7 (13) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
His last win was at Southwell in April 2024 but he travelled strongly for a long way before weakening there (7f) last month; record of 1-35 on turf but he's on a much lower mark back in this sphere and is well handicapped on his best form last season; one to keep an eye on with visor reapplied. |
20/1 |
|
9th 7 (11) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Dry since a C&D win for the Quinn yard more than two years ago; now 10lb lower than when last seen on the AW (3-8 here) but has regressed on turf in the meantime and may just be on the downgrade. |

A seven-time AW winner, he scored his first turf win at Cork in April over 10.5f; didn't get the clearest run so it was a cracking effort over C&D last time behind Kalir; up 2lb and is one to consider. |
10/1 |

Ended a long losing sequence with a 10.5f Cork win in April under this rider (good to yielding) off 3lb lower; didn't appreciate drop back to 7f back at Cork the following month (short head behind Dark Viper); never better than midfield over this trip at Naas when last seen; others preferred. |

7f course winner who had dropped 6lb lower than when successful at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) last December when beaten less than a length into third of 11 at Ripon (1m, good to soft) 12 days ago; races off the same mark but this trip looks to be right on the limit of his stamina. |
