6th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Getting on and hard to win with these days; back in form over C&D last time but in a weak-looking 0-55 handicap and that took his record on the AW to 0-17. |

2nd 5 (4) |
23rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Eight wins on turf but he's 0-16 on AW and he failed to beat a rival over 7f here last month; has something to prove again after that laboured effort and others are more convincing. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Eight wins on turf but 0-15 on AW; latest fourth of 12 over C&D was creditable, but others hold more compelling claims. |

30th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Loves it here, with all but one of his eight wins coming over C&D; not ground dependent; has been well below par in both starts since last winning (for Ann Duffield) here last September; not ruled out back here with 7lb claimed but it will need one of his better efforts from this mark. |

9st 8lb |
C&D winner in October 2024 and won twice at Catterick last summer; never showed when beating only one rival over C&D when last seen in November; best watched for new trainer after break. |
20/1 |

1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Has run to form only once on AW but that did yield a C&D win last October; won 6f handicaps at Catterick this summer on two of his last three starts; lower mark in this sphere and can't be discounted. |

22nd Oct 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has always been happier on Tapeta than turf but he's handicapped accordingly (12lb higher than for his latest Ripon run); may well be on the downgrade and is some way down the pecking order. |

12th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Not particularly solid on 2023 evidence and losing run is mounting up; close fourth off a stone higher mark in this contest 12 months ago but he's handicapped on the inferior form since. |
10/1 |

7th 7 (1) |
5th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Hasn't won since 2021; best run this year when close third to Made Of Lir (with whom he is 3lb better off today) at Ripon last time (6f, good); best on good going or softer; chance if it rains, though stall 1 not ideal. |
