5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Arrives here on the back of three very solid runs, winning at Windsor (2m, good) and going down narrowly since on soft and good ground; off the same mark as last time and it's just a question of whether he'll stay this far (Flat bred). |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Showed improved form in January, winning readily on good ground at Windsor then clear second on softer going at Catterick; hit with another rise in the weights but Benjamin Macey takes off a useful 5lb; respected. |

21st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Improved upon previous hurdle form to get off the mark at the 11th attempt in this code at Windsor (2m, good) on New Year's Day; did it readily and there remains mileage in his mark (now 9lb higher) judged on his Flat ability; has shown hints of promise on soft/good to soft ground. |

13th Jun 2024 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Eight-race maiden but she ran her best race so far when second in a C&D handicap last month; less good back here ten days later though and she's vulnerable to less-exposed runners. |

15th Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won twice this year, over 7.5f at Beverley (soft) and 1m at Carlisle (good); heavy defeats the last twice but he has his sights lowered here with cheekpieces added. |

8st 12lb |
Two front-running wins this year (7.4f/1m, soft/good) and close third here (8.3f, good to soft) two starts ago; not quite at his best at Redcar most recently but he lost a shoe and remains of interest. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Arrives in top form after a 7f win at Kempton and two second places over 6f; hard to knock and should be thereabouts. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 2 (6) |
9th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Unraced on soft; 2-14 on the AW (wins over 7f) compared to 0-11 on turf but it was a good effort when second of ten at Newmarket (6f, good) 24 days ago; contender if handling conditions. |
5/1 |

2nd 7 (1) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Runner-up three times in a row over 7f on AW in the winter and returned to form with a win at Kempton (7f, AW) last month; unproven over 6f and 0-10 on turf, but placed on grass a few times and is not ruled out. |

12th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Sole win from 23 starts came on turf at Salisbury off 11lb higher last August; runner-up at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW; first-time blinkers) in March but he was disappointing over 1m2f here next time and was pulled up at Bath (1m, firm; reported to have moved poorly) when favourite 38 days ago; needs to bounce back. |

8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Resumed winning ways at Lingfield (1m, AW) in June but scuppered his chance (not for first time) with a very slow start when beating one at Wolverhampton (8.5f) since. |

16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Hasn't always looked straightforward but found things falling his way when winning narrowly off 2lb lower on Polytrack two weeks ago; fine on Tapeta but his jockey, who doesn't claim, has only ridden twice under rules, including once over hurdles in Ireland. |
10/1 |

1st 4 (5) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Tapeta win last summer came off this mark and the booking of Rossa Ryan is a positive as he returns to the AW after three ordinary efforts on turf; not always looked straightforward and interesting to see whether support comes this time. |

30th Jun 2024 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Two poor efforts on turf, back from wind surgery, leave her something to prove; February's C&D maiden win reads well, though, and it will be interesting to see how she goes in the market. |
8/1 |

7th Jun 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Nicely progressive when winning an 8.6f maiden at Wolverhampton; dropped out to finish last on handicap debut (after wind surgery) at Nottingham but unlikely that was her true running and she did go off as one of the favourites. |
8/1 |
