9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |

Beaten favourite on the AW last time when seeking a fifth win on those surfaces; 0-5 on turf and probably best to look elsewhere. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
His six wins, including two here, have all been gained over further; won at Redcar (2m) on his penultimate start and his latest fifth over 1m6f wasn't a bad effort; this is winnable if he handles the drop back in trip. |
9/1 |

5th 6 (10) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 218y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Beat his three rivals fairly comfortably when back on turf here (2m, good to firm) three weeks ago and is evidently in good nick but a recent 4lb rise might be enough to leave this 10yo vulnerable. |
6/1 |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 217y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
A four-time scorer (including here in 2025); in good nick without winning this season, finding drop to 1m4f against him when a staying-on sixth of 12 at Newcastle last time; this veteran needs considering back up in trip. |

0-8 on AW but adding a tongue-tie seems to have helped on last two starts, not far away in a Wolverhampton classified (about 1m1f) and he didn't look short of stamina upped to 1m6f in a handicap here since; thereabouts. |

2nd May 2024 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Well handicapped on his best form and he returned from a lengthy absence with a fair fourth of 11 at Southwell (1m6f) last month; could be dangerous if he can build on that but a strike-rate of 1-29 is off-putting. |

9st 9lb |
All three wins have come at Brighton (1m2f/1m4f); placed in his last two starts in similar contests at Lingfield (1m4f, Polytrack) and has run well on Tapeta at Southwell; first-time visor replaces the usual blinkers and he has every chance on these terms; high on list. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |

Has suffered some heavy defeats of late, but almost sprang a 80-1 surprise when only headed close home by Foinix over C&D last Tuesday; if he is able to back up that run then he comes here with a shout. |

11th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |

Won five in the early months of last year, including over C&D; often pulls hard and it's been costing him this summer but this is easier than he's used to, so no shock to see him bounce back. |

Nine wins on the AW including one over C&D; 2lb lower than when successful at Kempton (2m, Polytrack) in February and makes the shortlist; jockey having her first ride under rules. |

Gained a first win of 2026 at Kempton (2m) in May and in good form until beating just one there (2m) last month; this three-time winner here (including over C&D) can get back on track. |

Easy C&D win for regular partner Elle-May Croot in March came off 1lb higher; typically inconsistent since but has claims on his latest turf effort as he chases a seventh course win. |
6/1 |

3rd 4 (6) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 115y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Often a front-runner and the last six of his seven wins were on Southwell AW, with the latest in March; Elle-May Croot knows him especially well and he's back 1lb below his last winning mark but the return to Southwell (from turf) for latest outing did not spark an upturn; best watched at present. |

23rd Jul 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |

Often a front-runner and gained the last six of his seven wins on this Southwell AW, with the latest win in March; Elle-May Croot knows him especially well, he's back to his last winning mark and return to Southwell (latest run here was five starts ago) might spark something. |

Last won over C&D last May; first-time blinkers (retained) replaced visor for his last two starts and he responded with a creditable third in a classified at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to soft) on first occasion; tailed off on latest, however, which was a poor show notwithstanding the 1m2f. |
