18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Failed to win last season and absent since 17l defeat in first-time cheekpieces (retained) on AW in November; others have much less to prove. |

1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Won three times last year but he has gone without success in 12 runs in 2025; down the weights and last month's Pontefract effort can be upgraded, making up ground towards the middle of the track (slowly away after the blindfold was removed late too); dropped 1lb despite the promise of that effort and his dam was an AW winner; cheekpieces replace the blinkers worn on his last two starts; could be interesting. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Won a local Group 1 in Bahrain in January but got clobbered by the handicapper as a result; slipping back to a more realistic mark but drawn highest and others bring much more pressing claims. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
1lb lower than for his last win; never in the hunt at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) last month on his return from 284 days on the sidelines; stamina for 7f still to be proven. |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Five wins include one on AW, over C&D in late 2024; beaten under a length three times on turf in 2025 and he wasn't far away in a recent C&D classified event after a short break; weights chance back in a handicap. |
10/1 |

3rd 7 (7) |
5th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple turf sprint and C&D winner; losing run stands at 18 starts and although he went close on turf at Redcar in November, he was below par in two AW starts since. |
16/1 |
|
6 (8) |
18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Close second at Redcar last time; 0-15 this year and ran poorly in last four AW attempts but defied a 10lb higher mark at Southwell a year ago; very attractively handicapped and enters calculations. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
His losing run is up to 16 and his form has gone the wrong way this year, but he's 3lb lower than when beaten just a neck at Lingfield (5f, AW) in June and he won this race in 2024; not discounted. |
5/1 |

5th 1 (4) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Winner over this trip but doesn't run over it often now, all starts this year having come over 5f; continues to tumble down the weights but has struggled in two runs back on turf latterly and others make more appeal. |
10/1 |

4th 5 (5) |
7th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |

25th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Made all at Pontefract in April and runner-up twice in a row in May; not written off but subsequent form has been mixed so he's not a solid option. |
6/1 |
|
10th 11 (11) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Made all at Pontefract (5f, good to soft; has won on good to firm) in April; beaten only a head over C&D off 1lb higher in May and arguably unlucky not to go close at the least over C&D again last time, finishing well for fourth having met trouble at a crucial stage; his draw isn't ideal but still respected. |
10/1 |

4th 3 (4) |

Pontefract winner in April (5f, good to soft); two good runs in May, the first when second over this C&D; hasn't been in such good form on last two runs. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Four-time sprint winner who is ideally suited by good or slower ground; finished down the field in last two starts, but he ran well at Redcar in May and is now back on the same mark as when landing the Ayr Bronze Cup (6f, soft) last autumn; needs a close look back from a short break. |
11/2 |

5th 2 (6) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Not at best last time but is normally consistent and may rebound; gained most recent success in last year's Ayr Bronze Cup (by a neck off 2lb lower) and is 1-1 at Doncaster. |
13/2 |
|
11th 6 (17) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Keeps getting better and signed off his 4yo campaign by beating Woven a neck in the Ayr Bronze Cup (6f, soft) last autumn; made a pleasing return to action when fourth at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago; that should have blown away the cobwebs and, with his usual cheekpieces now returning, he looks ready to strike. |

Two wins in Britain came on a sound surface; regressive since starting his Irish career promisingly with a second placing at the Curragh in the spring; hard to fancy having finished in rear when partnered by Colin Keane last time. |

Tumbled down the weights last year before undergoing wind surgery; was inclined to pull hard and didn't see it out on his Tapeta comeback, and the suspicion is he'll be back at some point. |

Four-time turf winner who won off today's mark at Newcastle (5f, AW) in February; however, he's finished down the field on his last four starts and a major turnaround is necessary. |

3rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |

In good form for much of the winter, winning three 5f handicaps, but his form has cooled on his last two starts; others look stronger in this grade. |
