17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Stable stalwart with 13 wins; not the force of old and contests his first classified; can't discount but likely to find one or two too good. |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
Both wins on turf have been on ground slower than good and his last four wins have been on the AW; beat only one rival home at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago and now drops back in trip with promising amateur Henry Callan taking over in the saddle; visor back on. |

Solid strike-rate on AW but not so good on turf and latest sixth of 12 at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) will need improving on; nothing wrong with this mark, though. |

11th Jul 2024 Good 0m 5f 143y Class 5 |

Hard to win with these days but rain won't hurt and he was placed three times off this mark in the spring; bare 5f would be preferable. |

2nd Jun 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Handicapped to win and he's been threatening this spring, most recently finishing third over C&D last month (good ground; blinkered first time); that is solid form for the grade and he should give it another good go. |

3rd 1 (6) |
10th May 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
His last win was 12 months ago but that was over C&D and he's finished runner-up at Pontefract and Redcar (both at 5f on soft) in last two starts; on same mark as for both those runs and he's respected with blinkers added. |

20th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Looked as good as ever when winning at Nottingham (5f, good) in May; also suited by this C&D but returns from 145-day break on a tough mark. |
10/1 |

4th 2 (4) |
28th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner; consistent in defeat on AW before making a successful return to turf at Nottingham (5f, good) 19 days ago, with reopposing Dc Cogent and Marajito behind in third and fifth; did that quite comfortably but a 6lb rise puts him 3lb above his highest win mark of 66; has also yet to score back-to-back in his 41-race career. |
2/1 |

1st 7 (9) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Has reached the frame on AW in his last six starts including when a close second at Newcastle (5f; tongue-tie added) last month; record of 1-21 on turf but conditions should be fine back in this sphere and he had a close call off 1lb higher at Beverley last summer; interesting contender for yard that has won this race in the last two years. |

Acts on fast and soft ground; had some close calls off higher marks this summer but he's not threatened in last three runs and is now 0-20 since his last win 15 months ago; down the list. |

18th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Better drawn today than when sixth behind Project Dante here three weeks ago; unable to justify favouritism at Newcastle eight days later; dangerous mark but his losing run is mounting up. |

26th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Three more wins this year (including C&D on soft) and last Saturday's sixth of 23 in the Silver Cup at Ayr was another creditable effort (second of 12 in his group); the fact he's finished in the first three (including four wins) on eight of his ten visits to Haydock makes him a must for the shortlist. |
5/1 |

6th 12 (23) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Respectable but unavailing effort in the Bronze Cup two years ago; in marvellous form this year, adding three wins at 5f (soft and good to soft), but he couldn't pull off another one at Haydock recently off a career-high mark; has more to do back at 6f. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 6 (5) |
5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Has 48 runs under his belt but amazingly is better than ever and was winning his third race of the year at Beverley (5f, soft) last week; on a career-high mark now but this course specialist made it 2-3 over C&D in May and further rain will make no difference; no ifs or buts and can put up a good show. |

Five-time turf winner on a variety of ground, but has shown precious little in nine starts for this yard despite a plummeting mark; market should indicate whether a revival is expected. |

Five-time winner over 5f on turf; out of form since joining present yard, but has dropped to a good mark and may do better on return from a break. |
