14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Versatile 7yo who has won ten times at up to 1m; hasn't made an impact since his Leicester win (6f, good to firm) in May but he had lots of traffic issues at Newbury three weeks ago; can put a line through that and he's a player if he gets some luck this time. |

Still 4lb higher than when winning at Leicester (6f, good to firm) in May but has been pretty consistent since rejoining Tony Carroll in March and probably won't be far away. |

5th Mar 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won a Chelmsford maiden (6f, Polytrack) in November 2023; missed last year but he's returned from a long absence with two promising runs in handicap, including a rallying second at Southwell (6f) last month; only 1lb higher than for that close call and he's respected back up in trip. |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Frequent slow-starter who's run well a few times over C&D without winning and is on a handy mark; fared best of the near-side group at York before a solid effort from a wide stall at Wolverhampton; goes on the shortlist under Billy Loughnane. |
4/1 |

3rd 7 (10) |
17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Previous C&D winner but often hindered by starting slowly; sixth of 21 at York (6f, good to firm) last month in first-time cheekpieces (left off here); another win is overdue but he doesn't look ready to strike. |
6/1 |
|
6th 19 (16) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Bids for his third straight win in this race, 2lb higher than for his 2024 win and 1lb higher than 12 months ago; slow starts have been an issue in recent outings but he retains ability and it will be no surprise to see him go well with cheekpieces now given a go. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Runner-up in 6f handicaps at Thirsk and Newmarket this month; should run his race but a 3lb rise for the latest defeat does ask a stiffer question of him. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 5 (4) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Has a patchy profile but he won at Chepstow (7f, good to firm) in May and was runner-up over this trip at Thirsk (good) 13 days ago; back up 2lb in the weights but he was clear of the third last time and has claims if he can back that up. |

8th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Three wins over C&D in the spring, but last two efforts (albeit in warmer company) leave something to be desired; widest stall to contend with. |

18th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Produced a telling turn of foot to prevail in a bunch finish in a slowly run contest at Lingfield (1m2f, Polytrack) 15 days ago, ending a 21-race losing run; only 2lb higher, but steps up in trip again so his stamina will be tested further, especially if this is more truly run. |

3rd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Runner-up in two of his five runs for this yard, once at this track (1m); not straightforward though, often slowly away, and his stamina for this trip has to be taken on trust. |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
4-29 AW; close third off this mark here (6f; 12-1) in June; has left Michael Keady for 3,000gns since last appearance; interesting to see how he responds to the change of scenery. |
6/1 |

5th 8 (10) |
21st Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Was back off his last winning mark when beaten a head and a nose into third of 12 over C&D last month (second and fourth have won since); up 1lb and drawn wider this time, but still one for the shortlist. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Drew nicely clear to end lengthy losing run in basement-grade classified race on turf return at Nottingham (6f, soft) on Thursday; faces tougher task here but remains well handicapped on older form (even under 4lb penalty) and will be fine on the faster ground. |
11/4 |

1st 5 (3) |
11th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |

Poor strike-rate for one of his ability; drops into first 0-50 classified event and has good 7lb claimer booked; should give a good account. |
4/1 |

5th 5 (5) |
7th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Both of his wins from 41 starts have been on turf, the most recent in October 2023, but he was unlucky not to finish closer at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) 31 days ago; each-way claims if things drop right for this hold-up performer. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Particularly successful on Tapeta but he was a wide-margin winner over C&D in June and again won from the front at Wolverhampton in his only subsequent AW run; the chasers were closing there but he had the race in the bag from some way out and, back up 3lb, he looks sure to go well again. |
7/2 |

1st 2 (3) |
7th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Nine-time winner, the latest a comfortable success in a 6f handicap at Lingfield (AW) last month; his subsequent defeat on soft turf is easy to forgive; high on the list. |
11/4 |
|
7th 5 (7) |
11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Last 23 starts have come on the AW and he is 4lb well in under a penalty for his emphatic success in refitted blinkers at Lingfield (6f) ten days ago; he has won twice on turf, though, so the change in surface shouldn't be an issue; major player. |
