28th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Four-time winner here (6f/7f); looked to be on the way back when just edged out at Hamilton (1m, soft) last month and the winner has gone in again four times since, but he needs to put a poor effort at Ayr (1m, soft) this month behind him. |

9yo who is on a 15-race losing sequence going back to May 2024 but that last win came on heavy ground and he was short-headed at Hamilton (1m, soft) last month; in the shake-up if backing up that latest form. |

Sole win from 39 starts was in June 2022 and he's been beaten 13l or more in his last four runs; opposable. |

12th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |

Of interest on last year's best but he ended 2024 with a whimper and neither AW run this March suggested he was the answer. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
All five wins have been on turf, the last three over this trip; only 2lb higher than for his latest success (June 2025) and he reappeared with a promising effort over 6f at Leicester (good to firm) last month; looks interesting on this step back up in trip and he's versatile ground-wise. |

25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Five turf wins at 6f-7f, the latest two over the latter trip on this track; he's had some excuses for low-key reappearances in the past but it's still a stretch to expect him to be on song for this one. |
8/1 |

8th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |

Multiple 6f-7f winner, including on soft; latest success came in classified company at Leicester (7f, good to firm) in June; best effort in handicaps since was back there on his penultimate start; should be thereabouts. |

9st 11lb |
5lb lower than when successful at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) a year ago, but that his only win in his last 22 starts; well beaten on last month's stable debut under Alexander Woodford at Southwell (6f, Tapeta); others preferred. |

Absent since below-par run last June on final start for Ivan Furtado; others arrive with less to prove but this course winner is one to watch in the betting, with his new stable also running the bang-in-form Piperstown. |

Winless beyond 5f or since her 2yo season, and it's been possible to call her well handicapped for ages; outran her mark again at Salisbury latest, however (6f, good), missing out by under 1l; some appeal. |

17th Jan 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Won his first four starts on Tapeta after the visor went back on, rising 34lb in the process; however, he could only manage a midfield finish off this mark at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) on Wednesday which means he has something to prove all of a sudden. |

15th Jan 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

Impressive in Class 6 at Wolverhampton 11 days ago, completing a quickfire 7f four-timer; hit with another hefty rise in the weights and steps up two grades but he is better than ever; shortlisted. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Disappointing Flat maiden who was well beaten when 66-1 for last month's handicap hurdle debut at Market Rasen (2m, good), where he raced too freely and jumped left throughout; blinkers added here; too risky. |
40/1 |

2nd Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
17-race maiden who became disappointing on the Flat and hasn't exactly hit the ground running over hurdles, going down by between 17l and 24l in his qualifying races; clearly entitled to do better now handicapping but he's unconvincing. |

26th Aug 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Often leads but it's not essential; has had a good slice of the pie in 2024, winning five times since cheekpieces fitted, three over C&D (good to soft and good to firm); up 4lb for the latest one 11 days ago but is still improving. |

Much-improved filly since cheekpieces were added last month, winning four in a row (all 1m) before losing out only by a short head at Chepstow (1m, good to soft) a week ago; another 3lb higher here but the likely quicker ground won't be a problem and she might still be on the upgrade. |
