15th 2 (13) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has a patchy profile but he's won twice at Newcastle (6f, AW) this year and bounced back with a creditable third at Haydock (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; that was an eye-catching effort from off the pace and he's respected back up in trip. |
7/1 |

3rd 11 (4) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
It took a drop into classified company for him to return to winning ways in February (6f, AW; blinkered first time; final run for John Butler); gained a second Newcastle win of the year last month but he raced far too freely back there on Monday; up in class today and likely vulnerable. |
14/1 |

10th 1 (8) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
First-time blinkers saw him return to winning ways in a C&D classified event in February; won C&D handicap on second start for new yard last month; holds strong claims again. |

21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Poor strike-rate (1-30); beaten a neck over 6f at Southwell (Class 6) in February but less productive in three subsequent appearances (6f-7f), although with mitigating circumstances (saddle slipped) latest. |
11/2 |
|
5th 5 (10) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Winless since August 2024 but he comes here in decent nick, fifth of nine in 7f Lingfield handicap 17 days ago; place prospects off an easing mark. |
8/1 |
|
5th 1 (9) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Effective at 6f and 7f but his sole win was in a Carlisle novice in August 2024; went close off this mark at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) last month but was never involved when a remote fourth there last time; that was behind a handicap blot but he needs to step up again after that. |

25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Dual turf winner, latest success over C&D last October (good to soft); fair second over 1m at Ripon last time; ideally needs give in the ground. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 3 (9) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Scored off this mark at Redcar (1m2f, good to soft) last October; kept on well on his last two starts at Beverley over 8.5f suggesting that a step back up in trip may be beneficial. |
7/1 |
|
5th 7 (7) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Only 1lb higher than for his Redcar win (1m2f, good to soft) in October but he's finished down the field in all four subsequent runs; wasn't beaten far over C&D 11 days ago but he's an infrequent winner and others are more persuasive. |

16th Jun 2025 Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Beverley (8.5f, good) and Chester (1m, good to firm) in the spring, but hasn't run as well since, including at Chester on Friday (favourite but slowly away); has won on soft ground; not out of it. |
5/1 |

13th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Made all (around 1m) at Beverley and Ayr in the spring but he went too freely when sixth of 13 in 1m Ripon handicap nine days ago; well drawn here so not discounted now reverted in trip. |
9/1 |
|
6th 7 (5) |
4th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Made all to win at Beverley (8.5f, good) in April and Ayr (1m, good to firm) in May but he raced too enthusiastically when back at Beverley 22 days ago and faded; holds claims if bouncing back; stablemate of Poet's Dawn. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Sole success came when trained by Ed Walker in May 2024; down to a career-low mark but hasn't threatened on his recent starts on AW. |
12/1 |
|
7th 2 (4) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
8lb lower than when second of nine over C&D last September, but not built on it (mainly over further) since; return to this trip may help, but he is 0-17 since his successful handicap debut. |
50/1 |
|
12th 8 (9) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Sole success from 20 starts came at Brighton (7f) in May 2024; reportedly unsuited by front-running at Wolverhampton last month but he did shape more encouragingly under more patient tactics at Wolverhampton (7f, AW; first-time cheekpieces) 39 days ago. |

9st 7lb |
Close third at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) in June and bounced back from a lesser effort when just nabbed in a first-time visor over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago; might not be the easiest to win with but still commands respect. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Has done nothing but progress since the visor went on, winning five of his last eight starts (including C&D) and going up 31lb in the weights; off for eight months since winning at Goodwood in September and will need another career-best off this mark. |
8/1 |
|
1st 1 (1) |
24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Has won four of his last seven starts at 6f, on AW then back on turf at Doncaster (good to firm) in June; up 7lb but it was a solid sixth of 22 at York (good) in July, when he raced away from the main action; drying ground would be a likely positive and he's firmly in the picture. |

24th Jul 2025 Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Won three times last year (including C&D on good to soft) and he's just 1lb above his last winning mark; however, he hasn't been at the top of his game this season and first-time cheekpieces need to prompt something extra. |
20/1 |
|
15 (3) |
25th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Three wins in second half of last year (7f-8.6f, good to soft/AW); his progress has stalled this season, with two mid-division finishes (1m, AW), but his Newmarket trainer is 3-15 here and he may yet be capable of better. |
10/1 |
|
9 (1) |
1st Jun 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Emerged from midfield to win with a bit in hand at Southwell (1m) in October; only 4lb higher and his midfield finish at Kempton was after 206 days away; still appeals as a horse who could have more to offer. |

28th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Made his breakthrough (11th attempt) in a Windsor handicap (1m, good to firm) in August; backed that up with a creditable fourth at Salisbury but he has taken a strong hold at times and his form nosedived at Yarmouth last week; bit to prove again after that and he needs to bounce back on this return to Polytrack. |
8/1 |
|
9th 13 (13) |
19th Sep 2024 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Has got it together since upped to this trip (behind Claxton Bay last time) and today's mark could well be within range if he settles better into a bigger field; one to consider. |
10/1 |
|
4th 10 (3) |
30th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
took keen hold, in touch with leaders, headway 2f out, pressed leaders when short of room over 1f out, not clear run final 110yds, soon switched left and lost third |

10th Sep 2024 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
In first-time cheekpieces and off a career-low mark when beating nine rivals at Carlisle (7f, good; fine on soft) having travelled best throughout; a 4lb rise shouldn't be too damaging. |
3/1 |

1st 3 (5) |
21st Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |

0-9; improved once switched to nurseries last year, going close at Catterick (7f, soft) in September; however, beaten at least 10l in all three starts this season; hooded last two starts, now has cheekpieces. |
