6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Has been threatening for his current yard this spring but a couple of expensive defeats latterly; goes back to the visor from blinkers and, while capable off this mark, his strike-rate doesn't inspire. |
5/1 |

26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Best effort for current stable when close second at Thirsk (7f) in most recent turf attempt; still nicely handicapped, having recorded both wins (6f) off higher marks; commands respect back down in distance. |

Course winner over 6f in November when trained by Katie Scott; didn't quite get home when third at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) earlier in the month, and ran well when second of 14 at Thirsk (7f, good) five days ago; may be able to go one better. |

All starts at 6f; contested a useful race at Goodwood on debut and then finished third at Carlisle, not far behind subsequent Group 3 winner Barefoot Angel; backward step at Haydock last time but no shock were he to resume his progress now handicapping up in trip |

0-6 but should have races in him and his latest second of six at Leicester (7f, soft) represented further progress; drying ground shouldn't be an issue but he is creeping back up the weights. |

30th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Not straightforward and was tailed off after missing the break at Ffos Las last month but he won by 4l there (6f, heavy) on his penultimate start; has claims if he can recapture that form and he has won off a higher mark in the past. |

28th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Not straightforward but he has more ability than his mark and his last two wins have been emphatic ones, latterly a near-5l success over 6f here 19 days ago (heavy; first time accessories); that form has been boosted by the reopposing Diamondsinthesand and a 5lb rise still leaves him lower than when running away with an Epsom handicap last summer (7f, good to soft); 5f asks a different question of him but his stamina will be an asset and they are likely to go hard. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
His losing sequence goes back 16 races to May 2024 and his form has gone the wrong way; however, he's dropped to a dangerous mark and ran respectably when fifth of nine over 7f at Ayr a fortnight ago (11-8 favourite), when shaping as though the return to 6f may help; not ruled out. |
9/2 |

5th 2 (4) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Went off the boil towards the end of last season and also below his best on last month's reappearance at Musselburgh, taking his losing sequence to 15; however, this two-time C&D winner may have needed that latest outing and he's well handicapped on last year's best course form; not ruled out. |
4/1 |

6th 9 (9) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |

0-14 since winning four of his five starts between October 2023 and May 2024, but is 2-5 around here and very well treated on form as recently as last summer; off five months, but is proven fresh. |
