11th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Two of his six wins have come over C&D; can go well fresh so his low-key return to action at Yarmouth last month was disappointing; down in class and has the assistance of Henry Callan in the saddle so he could leave that well behind. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Course winner who had irregular form in 2025 but he only just failed on his reappearance at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) last spring and he's 4lb lower now; on the cards that he'll return with a good effort. |

Started this season with a near-miss at Windsor (1m2f) in April but comfortably held since; bit to prove, including on the AW. |

29th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Beaten half a length or less in his last two starts at Newmarket (1m2f/1m4f); has winning form on Tapeta (at Wolverhampton) and is 8lb lower than when last on the AW, but losing run up to 14; needs a bit more. |

3rd 3 (6) |
23rd Aug 2024 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Has won four middle-distance handicaps and latest was off 9lb higher at Chester (1m4f, good) last June; 0-13 since but he bounced back with a close call over 1m2f here last Friday and is a big player if he can repeat that form (due to be 2lb higher in future). |

28th Oct 2024 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Just a single win, at long odds-on in a Polytrack maiden, to go with a good few short-priced reversals and hasn't always looked the easiest; will want to settle better round here, back up in trip, and the handicapper ultimately knows where he is with her. |

Just one win from ten starts but she has a solid record and was a front-running second over C&D (good) 12 days ago; only 1lb higher here and she should give it another good shot. |

30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |

4-8 at Wolverhampton and never ideally positioned in a slowly run race here 17 days ago; never ruled out around here. |
12/1 |

13th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Newcastle run and he had bumped into a progressive one at Southwell beforehand; this C&D winner has the assistance of Billy Loughnane in the saddle today; contender. |
7/2 |
|
6th 6 (8) |
6th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Had a good spell in late 2025, winning three Tapeta handicaps at around this trip; good second to a well-handicapped opponent at Southwell last week; one to take seriously. |

23rd Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Last run at Kempton saw him finish a close second off a 15lb higher mark and that was as recent as March; likely to exploit his drop in the weights at some point but perhaps in a less competitive race than this. |
12/1 |

19th Sep 2024 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Has looked on the downgrade in recent times, coming 16lb down the weights this year; hasn't looked to see out 1m2f the past twice, though, and a better showing wouldn't surprise back in the usual cheekpieces. |
20/1 |

16th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Usually seen over 1m and a return to 1m2f ten days ago did not yield anything; 12lb lower than at start of the year but others have more pressing claims. |
