4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Winless in three years and has regressed for this yard; consisent run came to an end when below-par at Kempton a few weeks ago but he won't mind the return to turf off a career-low mark. |
6/1 |

10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Multiple winner at up to 1m6f, including here but hasn't won for almost three years; even so, has been placed on five successive occasions and is capable of going close from this mark now back on this surface. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 5 (5) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Losing run stretches back to July 2023 but he ended 2025 in good form and his reappearance at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) 18 days ago was a positive one; stepping back up in distance is a positive but he could do with the ground drying out. |

14th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
Respectable third under Harry Snellgrove at Lingfield (2m, AW) last month on return from lengthy absence; big drop back in trip is a possible negative, however. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 8 (7) |
27th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
His wins at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm) and Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) in the summer of 2022 both came in amateur riders' races and he is 6lb lower than for the latest, but it will be some performance to win this after 638 days off; jockey has his first ride under rules. |
25/1 |

9th 7 (2) |
28th Nov 2022 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won back-to-back amateur riders' events at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm) and Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) in the summer; back off the same mark as for the latest of those, but yet to prove he stays this far. |

27th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Won small-field C&D event in June and was not beaten far in Summer Hurdle (a race he won in 2024) here in July; needs to up his game after two lesser efforts elsewhere but the return to this track is sure to suit. |
33/1 |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Had a win and two placings from three starts here (2m) in his younger days; won four-runner Market Rasen handicap (2m, good) off reduced mark in June and was not disgraced in competitive Summer Hurdle over that C&D in July; form took a dip at Cartmel last time, though, and he's untried at this trip. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Won four-runner Market Rasen handicap (2m, good) off reduced mark in June and was not disgraced in competitive Summer Hurdle over that C&D last month; ran quite well on only previous visit to Cartmel (in 2023); could have a say. |

7th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
It's been a while since he got his head in front on the line; was beaten less than 3l at Windsor last month and drops into a classified; needs to be considered. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |

Has caught the eye a couple of times recently, but isn't proving easy to win with despite a declining mark; needs first-time blinkers to make a difference. |

17th Oct 2023 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
No obvious benefits from wind surgery when trailing home last on the Flat last month; only 1-16 as a chaser and wasn't in much form over fences earlier this year. |
12/1 |

6th 3 (3) |
3rd Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |

Regressive over fences; has undergone wind surgery since last seen in May; well beaten in two Flat runs last summer; enough to prove. |
20/1 |

3rd 5 |
24th May 2023 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |

in touch with leaders, pushed along briefly after 1st, headway 8th, pushed along after 5 out, ridden and outpaced after 3 out, weakened from 2 out |

First reserve; 10-time Flat winner but shown nothing in three runs over hurdles; handicap debut. |

11th 1 |
15th May 2023 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Ten wins from 50 starts on the level; some promise in his hurdle bow at Ballinrobe on debut for this yard but tailed off back at that venue earlier this month; looks up against it. |
12/1 |
|
10th 4 |
2nd May 2023 Yielding 2m 0f 139y |
11st 12lb |
Ten-time Flat winner for Rod Milman in Britain; tame hurdles debut over C&D last month however and probably best watched for now. |
40/1 |
