27th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Shaped well, amid traffic issues, over 6f at Kempton on reappearance; has gained most wins over 7f, including twice at Wolverhampton; interesting back up in trip with Toby Moore taking off a handy 7lb. |
8/1 |

14th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
6f winner but majority of his wins at 7f; went back-to-back at Chepstow in May/June; not in same form since and returns to AW after a break with his mark still looking tricky; drop back down in trip also a slight query. |

30th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Has done his winning, and a lot of his racing, over 7f; didn't get the breaks back down to 6f last time following a fair AW comeback, and he's capable of going well off this mark. |
6/1 |
|
11th 10 (17) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Back to his best with a front-running 7f win at Epsom last August; creditable fourth to Arantes Nascimento on his return to action last month; not much room for manoeuvre off this mark and he is yet to win at 6f. |
20/1 |
|
4th 4 (1) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Returned to winning form in emphatic fashion at Epsom (7f, good) last August, but following an 8lb rise he failed to beat a rival in an amateurs' event at Ascot (7f, good to soft) in October; opposable on first start since. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
On a losing run but he got right back on track with fourth of 17 in handicap at Ascot (5f) last month; can go well off an unchanged mark. |
11/2 |

4th 9 (8) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Ran a fine race when third over C&D last July and he turns up here off an 8lb lower mark; poorly drawn when down the field at Lingfield on Good Friday; could bounce back with a big run. |

23rd Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Bounced back from a spell in the doldrums with fair front-running fourth at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) last month; also effective over C&D and a bold bid is possible. |
11/1 |

4th 4 (2) |
27th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Only 2lb higher than for his Chester win in June; three heavy defeats have followed though and others look much safer; cheekpieces back today. |
20/1 |

9th 3 (6) |
28th Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Campaigned at Chester this summer, twice disappointing since his June win; has a solid record (13122) in AW handicaps but the removal of usual cheekpieces presents a question mark. |

All seven wins have been on AW; yet to hit form in two runs for this yard; cheekpieces return but best watched at present. |
16/1 |
|
8th 7 (10) |
7th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
A fairly useful 6f-1m AW winner at his best for Darryll Holland, but he failed to beat a rival on his yard debut in 7f Kempton handicap in November; needs to take a big step forward after a break. |
16/1 |
|
14th 3 (5) |
27th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
He has made good progress in the last 12 months, winning three AW handicaps in the second half of 2024 and taking another step forward when scrambling home at Southwell (7f) on his return in March; less good twice since and now drops to 5f for the first time; others perhaps better treated. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won three in a row at Southwell (1m, AW) earlier this year and solid second there (1m) a fortnight ago; he won here in 2024 and holds strong claims if transferring his fine recent form back to turf. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 4 (11) |
7th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has been in good form since the turn of the year and completed a C&D hat-trick when pulling clear to record a comfortable success 40 days ago; now steps back up in grade off this 9lb higher mark but he's still fairly treated on his old form. |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Turf winner who has bagged four wins at this venue; returns following a two-month break (has gone well fresh) but he's more a place prospect than a win-only one. |
20/1 |
|
2 (5) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Returned to form with 8.6f AW win in March and comes here after two good efforts over 1m on turf; drops in grade here and should be fine over this extended 7f; might be the answer. |
7/2 |

18th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Four-time AW winner who returned to form when scoring at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in March; record of 1-18 on turf but he went close at Chepstow (1m, good) last month and is a big player if he can back that up off unchanged mark. |

Over two years since the last of his seven wins; several good runs in 2025, including when keeping on for second over 1m four weeks ago; 1lb higher this evening but back at his optimum trip. |

Still seeking a first handicap success; ran well in first-time blinkers at Southwell in October but two runs since haven't been quite at the same level; drops into a Class 5 but others appeal more. |
