6th 10 (1) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Has been kept busy since winning over C&D off a 2lb lower mark in December; went in again at Southwell on Tuesday evening and needs respect. |
8/1 |

10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Not the most consistent but still capable on his day, as when winning a 6f handicap at Newcastle in December (2lb higher today); handy draw and no surprise to see him show up well. |

20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Sole win from 18 starts on the AW came at Newcastle (6f, AW) in December and bounced back to form when runner-up there ten days ago; makes each-way appeal returned to 7f off a 2lb lower mark (4lb well in). |

10th 5 (7) |
2nd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Eight-time winner with first four on turf and latest four on Tapeta; his last success was by 3l here (9.4f) in December but he's been disappointing in both subsequent runs and needs to bounce back near his best. |
14/1 |
|
8th 10 (4) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Eight-time winner with first four on turf and last four on Tapeta; his last success was by 3l here (9.4f) last month but he flopped when favourite over C&D ten days ago; a switch to more prominent tactics may have backfired in that race but he needs to bounce back after that disappointing effort. |
9/1 |

28th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
11st 9lb |
In excellent form in refitted visor on Tapata when last seen in spring, winning three in a row (1m-8.6f); has fitness and stamina to prove today but the return to turf on the slow side of good won't be a problem. |

21st Sep 2023 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Has drawn a blank since winning in small field over C&D in April 2022; hasn't shaped too badly in some of his recent starts but he was down the field at Carlisle last time. |
11/1 |
|
9th 3 (12) |
7th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
No win since April 2022 (7f, Ayr) but has slipped to a workable mark, running consistently at Musselburgh; didn't enjoy a great deal of luck when a closing fourth over 7f there last week; returns to a trip which probably suits best; stablemate of Loom Large. |
7/1 |
|
4th 8 (8) |
30th Aug 2023 Good 0m 7f 33y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Beaten 16 times since last win last April but he's run three good races over C&D this season and is edging down the weights; each-way possible. |

15th Jul 2023 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Resumed winning ways at Ayr (1m2f) in May but he's been well below par since, only tenth at Musselburgh (9f) ten days ago; he needs to get back on track. |
10/1 |

10th 7 (2) |
5th Jul 2023 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |

Won for the second time on turf at Ayr (1m2f, good) in May but despite that form looking solid enough, he's been some way below that in two subsequent starts; bit to prove dropping slightly in trip. |
