8th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won his novice on heavy going last October (5f); placed in three of his four starts this year, most recently behind Emporess over C&D last week; each-way shout again. |

1st Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Heavy-ground winner as a 2yo; placed twice (5f/7f, good/good to firm) in the spring and faced a stiffer task in Class 3 since; fresh contender who could go well back down in trip/grade. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Second in the corresponding race 12 months ago when rated 4lb lower; three wins this year, the latest a runaway success at Brighton last month, but his progress has stalled on his last two starts; needs to raise his game again. |
10/1 |
|
19th 16 (7) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Can miss the break and is usually ridden from off the pace; back-to-back wins over the extended 5f at Brighton this summer, the latter by a wide margin under Jude Fernandes this month; below-form third turned out under a penalty at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) four days later and another 4lb higher now. |
20/1 |

3rd 1 (5) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 5lb |
Can miss the break and is usually ridden from off the pace; won a Brighton handicap (5.3f) by a wide margin on Tuesday for Jude Fernandes; that made it three wins from his last four starts and he is a leading player under his penalty. |

25th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
A repeat of the form which netted him a C&D second last month (good to firm) off today's mark would take him close; hard to blame his Doncaster flop since on the return to a 1m trip he has won over before. |
8/1 |
|
11th 15 (3) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Back in better form over 7f at Doncaster and Leicester the last twice; still attractively treated, having gained sole handicap win off 12lb higher (over 1m); respected. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 8 (7) |
25th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
His form has deteriorated since his last win last May but he took a step back in the right direction when fourth of 16 at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) nine days ago; has another career-low mark today and is not ruled out. |

29th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
No impact in three handicap runs, suffering heavy defeats in two outings in blinkers this summer; goes without headgear now down into 0-55 company but he's not a solid option. |
14/1 |
|
8 (4) |
16th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Fourth of seven in Bath novice (5f, heavy) in October was the best of his juvenile efforts but he's raced freely in two starts since, including when weakening a fair way out in first-time blinkers (retained) on his reappearance at Nottingham (8.5f, good) at the start of June; unexposed and the return to sprinting may help. |
10/1 |
|
4 (9) |
1st Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Fourth of seven in Bath novice (5f, heavy) in October looked the best of his four runs as 2yo; took a strong hold when trying 7f in a nursery next time; blinkered for this reappearance and needs to take a step forward. |

26th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
0-15 and he hasn't really threatened to put that right this time around; well drawn but likely vulnerable again. |
25/1 |
|
9th 7 (8) |
14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Modest maiden at his best in 2024 and 2025; not so good for new yard this year but latest start, when wearing first-time cheekpieces over 7f, was at least a step back in the right direction. |
16/1 |
|
5th 9 (1) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
When fifth of 14 at Beverley (7.4f, good) last month he was trapped wide and failed to settle, so that run wasn't without promise, but he's since been well beaten at Newcastle (6f, AW) and is now 0-13; cheekpieces go on; plenty to prove. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Sole win from 23 starts came in a Beverley seller last May when trained by David Evans; made some late gains in a classified event at Redcar last month but he's hard to predict and others are more convincing. |
16/1 |
|
5th 2 (8) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Belied 50-1 odds and put in fairly good front-running shift when third of six in this grade at Wolverhampton (5f, AW; refitted hood) last week, his second start for Derek Shaw; also suited by turf but others appeal more all the same. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner last April; looked an unlucky loser when runner-up at Beverley (1m4f, good) in June but he's been below his best in both starts since; needs to return to form back on the AW. |
8/1 |
|
4th 3 (1) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 16y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
A dual 1m4f AW winner (also scored over hurdles) in 2025; running with credit without winning this season until only fourth of five at Beverley (1m4f) 13 days ago; he's the sort to bounce back in a change of headgear. |
100/30 |
|
4th 4 (2) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Three wins in 2025, two on the AW (1m4f) and once over hurdles; banging at the door on turf this summer, second over C&D ten days ago when not enjoying a clear run; another good run seems likely. |
