6th 10 (16) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Lightly raced 5yo who has run well in defeat more often than not in handicaps, finishing third of 14 over C&D (heavy) in October when last seen; however, he may need testing ground to be a serious force at this trip, having run well at up to 1m4f here in the past; wears first-time tongue-tie/blinkers. |
10/1 |

3rd 1 (4) |
25th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who goes well in the mud; given a break after a poor run over 1m4f at Epsom on Derby day and coped well with the drop back to 1m1f when third at Yarmouth (soft) on return last month, keeping on after not clear run; travelled on that occasion as if this even shorter trip may help if anything; considered. |

17th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 21y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who goes well in the mud; ran to a good level in his first three handicaps but then suffered a heavy 90l defeat when prominent in the market for the Northern Dancer handicap at Epsom (1m4f, good) on Derby day; absent since, while the experiment with cheekpieces is swiftly abandoned; could bounce back. |
6/1 |

7th Jun 2025 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who goes well in the mud and has run well in all three of his handicaps, including when fifth of 23 in the November Handicap at Doncaster (1m4f; favourite) and an encouraging fourth of 11 at Goodwood (1m2f, good) five weeks ago; needs a bit extra and cheekpieces are enlisted. |

4th 1 (1) |
3rd May 2025 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Wide-margin winner (1m, heavy) on sole start as 2yo and useful form in defeat three of his four races last season, latterly when upped to 1m4f for fifth of 12 in the November Handicap at Doncaster; all turf starts have been on softer than good, best efforts on soft/heavy or AW; that poses the biggest question if the rain stays away here. |
4/1 |
