2nd 6 (8) |
13th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
His heyday was two winters back but he still won last July (1m1f on turf) and is often thereabouts, including on Tapeta; not totally ruled out despite the 106-day absence. |
10/1 |

4th 1 (5) |
18th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Landed a sixth success when winning a 12-runner handicap at Redcar (1m1f, good to soft) in July; kept at in when fourth at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) under a penalty six days later and excuses both starts since; very much respected. |
7/2 |

3rd 4 (9) |
2nd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has won three times over 7f here; best run this year when winning over 1m1f at Redcar three runs back; stamina to prove on first run at 1m4f (can pull hard). |

17th Feb 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won a C&D novice last March; only had two handicap runs but he'll need to raise his game if he's to come out on top in this field. |
25/1 |
|
6th 2 (2) |
5th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who won a 1m novice at Newcastle on his second start last March; raced freely in a steadily run 1m2f handicap at Newcastle on his return from a seven-month break four weeks ago, tiring in the closing stages; can do better and this represents an ease in class. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Three wins (1m) in 2024 but he's been well held in last ten starts including when fourth behind Desiderata at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) last month; that wasn't bad but he needs to raise his game back in a handicap. |
20/1 |
|
4th 11 (7) |
16th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
A three-time 1m scorer in 2024 but only poor form of late and he was soon ridden when fourth of six in 7f Chelmsford handicap in January; he needs to take a step forward. |
16/1 |
|
4th 6 (1) |
15th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Won three times over 1m in 2024, including over C&D; third at Southwell (1m, AW) last April but he's not been in the same form in four starts since; drops back to 7f and others are preferred. |

15th Nov 2023 Standard 1m 2f 150y |

Struggled in handicaps on both turf and AW; now down 11lb from initial mark and new headgear combination tried for this longer trip. |
8/1 |

10th 4 (3) |
20th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Nine-race maiden who was only beaten half a length on yard debut at Limerick in June; disappointing favourite over C&D next time though and he's struggled in three runs over further since. |

11th May 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Big step up on his previous form to win well over C&D (maiden) in February and nothing wrong with his second at Wolverhampton (handicap) latest; goes again off an untouched mark and he's going the right way. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 1 (1) |
10th Apr 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |

Progressive in his first three starts earlier in year, comfortably beating 13 rivals in a Southwell maiden (7f, Tapeta) last time; still open to further progress now handicapping and much respected. |

7th 7 (8) |
17th Sep 2023 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Eight-race maiden who was claimed out of a seller in July; down the field in three handicaps for new stable (7f-8.3f) and needs to turn a corner; cheekpieces (worn for last two races) replaced by first-time visor. |
16/1 |

0 10 (9) |
8th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Didn't progress for the Barrons; finished out the back in two runs for current stable, but dropped 7lb and soft ground might not have been ideal; not out of this if the return to AW piques his interest. |

28th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Hinted at ability in three starts over this trip on the AW during the winter; this half-brother to five winners may show improvement now making his handicap/turf debut after three months off. |
14/1 |
|
7th 8 (7) |
25th Jan 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Couple of similar efforts over 7f at Southwell, showing signs of ability while leaving the impression he'll do better when qualified for handicaps; another supporting role is likely. |
16/1 |
|
7th 9 (6) |
8th Jan 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Lost a lot of ground at the start when 8l sixth of 13 at 12-1 on last month's debut over C&D; there's the risk he'll do the same thing again but it was a promising run in the circumstances and there's plenty of potential in his pedigree; could be a factor if breaking better. |

30th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Over 6l behind Zephlyn over C&D last May; some fair form since (won over 2m at Wolverhampton in October) but not quite at her best back on turf last twice (over 2m5f and 1m4f); place chance. |
8/1 |
|
5th 5 (5) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |

Not at her best over hurdles or here (extended 2m5f) last month; drop in trip can help but others appeal more for win purposes. |
10/1 |

6th 9 (10) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 139y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Below her best over hurdles 16 days ago but runner-up on the Flat at Newcastle (2m, AW) last month; consistent in this code last August-October and she's shaped as though this test of stamina could suit; on the shortlist. |

Has form figures of 312 since switched to handicaps this summer and that latest second was a close call behind Overnight Oats at Sandown (first two clear) three weeks ago over 7f on good for turf debut; 1lb better off with his old rival here and should make another bold bid. |

28th Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Hasn't really threatened on his three runs this year but has been in fair form and he won by 4l over C&D (good) last July on his last visit to Ayr; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces; could go well. |
5/1 |

4 (7) |
14th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Consistent last year; hasn't threatened on either outing this season but he kept on for a fair fourth in a warm race at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) last time and may benefit from this step back up in trip; unraced on slow ground; cheekpieces go back on, which he wore for his last win; chance. |
