9th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Signed off 2024 with 6f Redcar victory but he's yet to fire this season, cheekpieces tried when last of eight in 6f Redcar handicap in July; others appeal more. |

20th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
C&D winner (soft) off 2lb higher last October; he's made no impact in three runs this year but drops in class and now wears cheekpieces for the first time; good apprentice booked and a better showing is expected, especially if significant rain arrives. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won two in a row over C&D last September (good to soft/soft) and returned to form with very close fourth at Southwell (6f, AW) in April on his second start of the season; slow ground would be a major boost to his claims. |

29th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Back-to-back wins at Hamilton last September (6f); regular cheekpieces were left off for return and he shaped as if needing the run; can build on that in refitted headgear here; last AW run (over C&D) was his best effort on an artificial surface. |

10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Scored twice on a soft surface over 6f at Hamilton last September, but was weak in the market when failing in his hat-trick bid at Pontefract (6f, soft) the following month; may need this first start in six months and wouldn't want the ground to dry out too much. |

9st 2lb |
Ran on well to win a 6f handicap at Newmarket two weeks ago (6f, soft); that race had rather an end-of-season feel to it but the Topspeed figure was good and a 3lb rise looks fair; interesting on first AW start since October 2018. |

All four of his wins have been on testing ground, the most recent at Ffos Las (6f, heavy) last August; has the headgear/tongue-tie left off on his first start since October and is best watched on ground that will probably be quicker than ideal. |

Two wins at up to 6f on slow ground; has a squeak based on his Hamilton second in September but he's been badly out of sorts on his last three starts; steps up in trip but he's half-brother to two winners over it, so he could see it out; one of two in this for his trainer. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won this last year (first-time visor) and quickly added to that with further wins at Catterick (7f), Newcastle (6f), and back here (6f), rising steadily in the weights; she's a likely pace angle, only worn down inside final furlong at Catterick (6f; 17-2) 25 days ago. |

11th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |

Four wins at 5f-7f in 2025, including here; back on her latest winning mark and she ran well over C&D two starts ago so can't be ruled out, albeit she often leads so will need things to fall right from this draw. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Five times a winner on turf and she lurks on a dangerous mark; ran well for second behind Eldeyaar over C&D on her reappearance last month (not the quickest away) and she did well when only fourth behind Run This Way at Redcar nine days ago having completely blown the start; should be involved if breaking on terms but that 'if' is substantial enough to prompt some caution. |
