27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Normally starts slowly; goes well fresh so would like to have seen more on reappearance at Bath and didn't fare much better there four weeks ago; fourth is the best he's managed on AW; passed over. |

29th Apr 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
He made a winning reappearance here in 2024 and 2025 so it's disconcerting he was well beaten on his comeback here 24 days ago, and he could do with breaking sharper; however, it's possible he needed the run this time and, having won three times last year, he's entitled to respect. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Two of his eight wins have been over C&D and they were first time out in April 2024 and April 2025; two wins last summer ensure that he remains much higher in the weights but that reappearance record here is striking. |

17th Feb 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Back to form when second over C&D nine days ago on his first run for 11 weeks; likely he'll need more in this field but he was rated much higher when starting out for this yard last spring. |
5/1 |

2nd 7 (1) |
8th Feb 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Made an encouraging return to the AW when beaten 2l into fifth of 12 here (6f) in November, but would like to have seen more from him at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) 11 days later; losing run up to 19 and others preferred. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |

Five C&D wins include this race for the last two years; not particularly convincing on 2025 form but has a good chance off current mark provided he's back on song. |
14/1 |
|
6th 1 (10) |
7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Five C&D wins, three of those in cheekpieces on soft; has struggled for form this season (0-6), making only minimal inroads from the rear at Epsom (7f; eighth of 12; 50-1) latest; competes from an easing mark. |
12/1 |

8th 12 (9) |
11th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Two C&D wins earlier in career; conditions have been against him during the hot summer but he won the two most recent soft-ground races he contested, over 7f at Brighton last autumn, so the more rain the better; yard has won the last four runnings. |

Losing run on turf goes back to 2021 and his best form is at up to 1m2f; well held when favourite over that trip at Windsor recently and has much to prove back over 1m4f; yard also runs Beggarman. |

5th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Has failed to score on turf since 2021 but is interesting with Oisin Murphy back on board; form under this rider features an Epsom success and close second over C&D (last May). |

Six-time winner who is well treated on best form; however, below par during a light 2024 campaign and failed to revive on reappearance; best watched unless the betting suggests otherwise. |

18th Aug 2023 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Off the mark on turf when readily seeing off nine rivals in a 7.5f Class 6 handicap at Lingfield (good to firm) last month; third under a penalty five days later when the ground may have gone against her; another career best required to defy this mark though. |
4/1 |

3rd 1 (9) |
31st Jul 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Opened her turf account here (7.5f, good to firm) last Wednesday, scoring in a manner that suggest she'll cope well with 5lb penalty; back up in grade but still respected with Harry Davies again on board. |

Got up late to win a 7f handicap at Chelmsford last September off a 3lb lower mark; may well have needed her reappearance and she's of interest with that behind her and with Harry Davies taking 3lb off her back. |

11-time winner, most recently from off the pace over C&D last month; not in same form on either 8.6f start at Wolverhampton since, though, and might still be a shade too high in the weights. |
12/1 |
|
6th 5 (2) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Came from off the pace (in refitted blinkers) to run down Von Krolock in a 7f apprentices' handicap at Southwell (10-1) on penultimate start; only eighth (King Of Speed fourth) over C&D subsequently; 4lb higher now, with a different claiming rider booked. |
11/2 |

8th 12 (12) |
17th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Successful in 0-55 apprentice event under Myla Coppins at Southwell (7f) last week, taking AW record to 6-45; this is a slightly better race but he escapes a penalty; dual C&D scorer; respected. |

in touch with leaders, lost position and towards rear over 7f out, headway when bit short of room over 2f out, pushed along and prominent when edged left from over 1f out, ridden and kept on inside final furlong, went second post |
25/1 |

10 (2) |
13th Oct 2022 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Well handicapped on his AW exploits and he's run just four times on turf, but he was well beaten in May/June on his last two encounters with grass and has something to prove on this surface; blinkers go on. |
