19th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Progressive novice who was suited by the return to a left-handed track when winning at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft) last month; also effective on soft/heavy; this is a tougher test of his credentials than last time but he's up just 2lb and could continue to improve for last year's winning yard. |

11st 12lb |
Long breaks are a feature in his profile and he was returning from another when prevailing narrowly at Stratford two months ago (2m2f, good); if as good again off 4lb higher he'll be thereabouts. |

28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |

Made light of an absence when scoring at Sedgefield (2m1f) in January 2025 and backed it up with a very good second of five at Plumpton (2m4f) the following month; returns from 13 months off here but can't be ruled out with yard going well. |

Winless since his 3yo debut and has regressed under both codes in recent times; opposable. |

15th Jul 2023 Soft 1m 3f 15y Class 6 |

Winless since his 3yo debut and has regressed under both codes in recent times; won't mind the softer ground, down another 3lb and going without the usual headgear by way of a change. |

5th Jul 2023 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 6 |

Debut AW winner (1m) who is on a 29-race losing run; last of seven when stepped up to 1m5f at Ayr latest; has finished runner-up over C&D (soft) previously; given a chance by the handicapper now, so not written off. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Resumed winning ways over fences at Stratford (2m1f) in March but below par both runs since, beating just one in 2m4f Warwick handicap chase last month; needs to take a big step forward back in this sphere. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Landed his fourth win over fences at Stratford in March (2m1f, soft) but his Huntingdon third was remote and some inconsistency has crept in. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |

Back to his best after a three-month break when landing his fourth win over fences at Stratford (2m1f, soft) last month; up 5lb but recorded back-to-back victories around this time last year so not to be taken lightly. |

Lacks worthwhile form, albeit after just one handicap (pulled up over 2m4f on heavy last time); hooded last three starts but not today; while this drop back in trip will surely help, he's hard to fancy. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Veteran who was recording his 12th win at the track when leading close home over 1m5f last week; able to race off a 3lb lower mark today and he has to be of interest from a handicapping perspective. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |

Long in the tooth now and needs to better his recent efforts but was close third off 4lb higher at Hamilton (1m1f, good to firm) in May and is probably better suited by today's trip; can't rule out. |

Veteran who last May gained a ninth C&D win; his more recent form is not so encouraging, though, just fifth of eight over C&D 16 days ago; needs to bounce back. |

Displayed ability on the Flat for William Haggas last year, with a peak RPR of 70 from his four races; however, unraced since changing hands for 25,000gns last September and might be best watched on stable/hurdle debut. |
