6th 4 (15) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Positives include a C&D record comprising a win and a second and he arrives in top form; whether he is quite well enough treated for a race of this nature remains to be seen though. |
8/1 |

2nd 1 (6) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Stumbled/unseated in first-time visor (retained since) at Carlisle in May but posted a career-best when winning by 2l over C&D (good) in June, and he was denied a clear run when third of six at Pontefract (6f, good) subsequently; high on the list. |

3rd 4 (1) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Bounced back from some lesser efforts when making all and scoring comfortably from a subsequent winner at Ripon (6f, good) 19 days ago; the visor may have helped and although similar tactics may not be so easy in this field, he doesn't have to lead; much respected from 6lb higher. |

1st 4 (7) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Won three times last year (5f/6f, good/good to firm/AW), the third when wearing cheekpieces for the first time; disappointing this season, last time unseating his rider at the start in first-time visor which is retained. |
9/1 |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Had a solid 2025, winning three times (5f/6f), but hasn't finished in the first eight this year; dropping in the weights but needs to turn a corner; perhaps a change of headgear will help. |
25/1 |
