8st 13lb |
Sole win at 7f on turf as 2yo but showed bright early speed back at 5f when losing out late over C&D in March; others might press for the lead here but he's on the same reduced mark; can go well from rail draw. |

Dropped 15lb in five runs for new trainer since September; looks quick enough to cope with the shorter trip and Ryan Kavanagh takes off a valuable 5lb; better can be expected today. |

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. |

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. |

9st 9lb |
Off the mark with a front-running win at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in September, his final start for Richard Fahey; three fair efforts for his new yard but needs to reproduce his best on turf following a five-month break. |
6/1 |

20th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Off the mark at the 11th attempt when winning a C&D handicap five weeks ago (made all); well berthed to repeat those tactics and a 4lb rise isn't excessive; has left Richard Fahey since last start (same owners). |

Not easy to assess given he followed breakthrough win on Polytrack (7f) with abject performance, albeit on ground that was deemed unsuitable; this is quite a quick turnaround. |

Emphatic scorer over 1m here in July; good second back here (1m again) next time but not in the same form twice since and remains 9lb above July's winning mark. |

24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Certainly didn't miss the hood when emphatically doubling her tally at Southwell in July (1m); those conditions when chasing home stablemate then done no favours by a wide draw; others appeal more from a handicapping perspective. |

Doubled her tally at this track when winning in good style over C&D in July before another good effort when second of 13 here ten days ago; now steps up in grade but she can't be discounted. |

11th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Touch unlucky not to notch his fourth win of the year when beaten a short-head at Southwell a month ago; 1lb rise puts him on the ceiling mark for this class of race and he has a fair chance of making it 3-4 over C&D. |
4/1 |

2nd 2 (1) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Thriving in 2026 and he bagged a third success in 8.6f Wolverhampton handicap 12 days ago when overcoming a wide passage; up 3lb but this C&D scorer merits serious consideration. |
5/2 |
|
1st 6 (6) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Took a long time to get off the mark but he's got the hang of winning now, having been successful over C&D and 7f at Southwell in two of his last three starts in classified events (outstayed at about 1m1f in between); should make a good go of it back in a handicap. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

Last win was over C&D off this mark in November but he can be hard to predict and should have run better back in a 0-60 last time. |

8th 1 (8) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
There have been enough good runs since November's Redcar win to think this mark was in range and this race is much weaker than the Haydock handicap three weeks ago in which he weakened out of things only inside the final furlong; didn't look the easiest ride there but he still makes some each-way appeal back in a 0-60. |
8/1 |

5th 8 (9) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Prominent racer; close second at Newcastle (6f) last month but he failed to back it up at Southwell three weeks ago; all his best efforts have come on a straight course so perhaps can be given the benefit of the doubt for last time; one of two runners for the stable; not discounted. |

21st Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |

Reportedly suited by step up to 8.6f (from 7f) when beating three rivals on nursery debut at Wolverhampton (AW; front pair clear) in August but was disappointing odds-on favourite over 9.4f there 12 days ago (raced too freely), and is not easy to predict now back at 7f and with blinkers tried. |

9th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Didn't show much in three qualifying runs but, having been gelded, he improved to make a successful nursery debut here (8.6f) 24 days ago; up 5lb but the longer trip can help and he's not fully exposed just yet. |

Middle-distance bred gelding; made encouraging nursery debut when keeping on well from the rear for third at Epsom (7f, good) last month, and his outside draw may not be a significant disadvantage if patient tactics are planned again here. |

3rd 9 (9) |
16th Aug 2024 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |

Ended his 2025 campaign in good form over the extended 7f at Ffos Las, recording an account-opening win prior to a respectable effort; the question is whether he can transfer the ability to AW on reappearance. |

9th Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |

3yo who has shown ability but he's been well beaten on his last three starts (two of them handicaps) and is hard to fancy. |
