2nd Nov 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Latest run at Nottingham is easy to forgive (unsuitable ground) and he had recorded a career-best RPR when winning at Wolverhampton (5f) on his penultimate start; no issue with 6f but 5f is possibly his optimum. |

8st 13lb |
A fairly useful 5f winner in 2025; yet to hit top form this season though, third of four in 5f Nottingham handicap last month; more is needed despite a tumbling mark. |

21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
York win last summer came off 15lb higher, which shows how things have gone in the meantime; can miss the break (including in first-time headgear latest; now removed) but this race is easier than he's used to; career-low mark. |

29th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Successful in a Yarmouth 5f handicap in week one of the Racing League; latest 6f run easy enough to overlook and he's a contender back under suitable conditions (won the 5f handicap at the Racing League meeting at this track last September). |
14/1 |
|
14th 2 (10) |
12th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
All of his five wins have been at 5f; won two in a row in Bahrain in February and he landed a Racing League handicap at Yarmouth (good to firm) last month; hit a personal best with that success but this is tougher off 5lb higher and his only previous run at this trip resulted in a heavy defeat. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Never a threat after a slow start in the corresponding race 12 months ago; as good as ever when winning at Sandown and Ascot (came from well back) in August/September and two subsequent defeats excusable (ground/Listed race); 3-8 on soft or worse but might be better suited by a stiffer finish. |
16/1 |
|
8th 12 (5) |
4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
8st 12lb |
At least as good as ever this year, winning handicaps at Sandown (5f, soft) and over C&D (good to soft) in September; found things happening too quickly at Haydock last Saturday and she's in deeper today, but she does go really well at Ascot and the more rain that falls the better. |
16/1 |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Likeable mare with eight wins to her name, including at Sandown (5f, soft) and Ascot (5f, good to soft) in the last four weeks; impossible to rule out but she's gone up 13lb in total for those successes and she'll need a career best to complete the hat-trick. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
The vast majority of his recent racing has come at 5f and he's unraced at 7f; however, he wasn't stopping at the line when third here (6f, good) last Saturday and this trip is worth a go. |
20/1 |
|
3rd 1 (8) |
19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Won the same Class 4 at the other Newmarket track (5f, visored) in July for the third consecutive year; held in a higher grade subsequently but he's now just 2lb higher and this drop back into calmer waters must help; no headgear for his first visit to the Rowley, though. |
8/1 |

12th 6 (3) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Back to winning ways in a small-field Class 4 handicap at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) in July; he has come up short twice since and looks vulnerable for win purposes. |

16th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Dual C&D winner who is back to the mark he was successful from at Haydock (6f, good to firm) in April; fair fourth over C&D 19 days ago; sports first-time cheekpieces on this 107th start and he warrants consideration. |
9/2 |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Recorded his 13th turf win when scoring in good style at Haydock (6f, good to firm) in April; only 2lb higher here, but has mixed record since that last success and he was down the field at Beverley last time; others are more persuasive. |

26th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Landed the 2022 Ayr Silver Cup on final run for previous yard; nowhere near that form since but latest effort wasn't devoid of promise; interesting dropped in grade off a reduced mark (11lb lower than for Ayr win). |
10/1 |
|
7th 9 (8) |
10th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Now 8lb lower than for his Ayr Silver Cup win in 2022; struggled for this yard last season though and he never threatened in a 6f handicap here on his seasonal return four weeks ago; too much to prove for now. |

24th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Prolific turf winner who scored at Ffos Las (5f, good) in June but he's not gone on from that and was a long way below form at Sandown last time; has something to prove again and he's 0-7 on AW; visor removed. |
9/1 |
|
7th 6 (1) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Returned to winning form at Ffos Las (5f, good) in June and his subsequent third of six at Lingfield (5f) was perfectly respectable given he is 0-7 on the AW; handles soft ground well and should play a part if things pan out from the rails draw. |
5/1 |

3rd 2 (6) |
27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |

Nothing like the force of old but rediscovered some form and ran well from the front when close third in Nottingham classified (5f, good to firm) last month; has possibilities if in similar mood again here. |

3rd 1 (2) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Still capable of running up to high-80s RPRs just two years ago, but has offered nothing in two outings this term and remains winless around anywhere as galloping as Nottingham; cheekpieces return. |
12/1 |

10th 11 (3) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
His last win was in April 2024, which is probably the bottom line; three wins and five seconds from 12 races at Windsor also catches the eye but he was a soundly beaten last at Leicester on reappearance three weeks ago. |

Dropped a long way in the weights and his Epsom reappearance seven weeks ago was encouraging; could take a good step forward and is respected despite his advancing years. |

23rd Apr 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Second in the 2022 Dash over C&D off 8lb higher before winning a valuable handicap at Ascot; high in the weights for much of 2023 but he ran well at Ascot on his last two starts; has gone well fresh in the past and he returns with his yard in good form; draw not ideal but lots to like otherwise. |
