1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Decent 2yo who struggled last year, coming more than a stone down the weights; found his level again latterly on Tapeta but he ran poorly on his turf comeback in April and others make more obvious appeal. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Won two of his first three starts, including a C&D nursery off 8lb higher, but the handicapper was in command for much of 2025; creditable third to Fortamour at Newcastle when last seen 145 days ago but he has more on his plate in this deeper race. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Couple of turf wins last term; inconsistent this season but posted one of his better efforts in C&D contest most recently and is still unexposed on AW; attractively treated off current mark. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Three 1m wins on Southwell AW this year; has also won on turf but he's 15lb higher than when last seen on grass in the autumn so needs to show his form on this surface can keep pace with the AW improvement. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
25th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Record over C&D currently reads 22115112; didn't look to have any excuses in a race run to suit here three weeks ago and it's possible he's reached his ceiling mark now, but he's ultra consistent and looks set to get involved once again. |
7/2 |

2nd 1 (3) |
5th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ran perfectly well when third of 11 behind a subsequent winner at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) 16 days ago, but should relish the return here with his record over C&D reading 2211511; high on list. |

17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Soft-ground C&D winner last autumn who's twice been unlucky in big-field Thirsk handicaps switched to cheekpieces this spring; better off with Juan Les Pins than on his comeback and enters calculations. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 6 (8) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Both his wins have come on soft ground but he ran a cracker on good ground over C&D last week (cheekpieces first time), keeping on well behind an in-form sprinter; 1lb higher today but still a strong contender, especially with some rain in the forecast. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 10 (3) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Both wins have come over 6f on soft ground and remains 7lb higher than for the latest; opposable under the likely conditions and the run may be needed; cheekpieces replace blinkers. |

11th Aug 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won small-field Doncaster maiden (5f, good to soft) on debut in May and quickly put a lesser effort behind him when third in Redcar novice (6f, good to firm) in June; open to improvement in nurseries if aided by first-time cheekpieces. |
6/1 |

5th Jun 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Not bred for sprinting on the dam's side of pedigree but he has inherited plenty of speed from sire Blue Point and justified a short price when winning in ready style on his Doncaster debut (5f, good to soft) in May; good chance of defying a penalty from a favourable draw. |
