4th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Recorded the 18th win of his long career when leading late over C&D in February (for Myla Coppins); ran well behind a thriving rival at Lingfield next time but he failed to fire over C&D a fortnight ago (finished behind Coloane); he has bounced back from quiet runs before so can't be ruled out. |
6/1 |

8th 7 (7) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
18th success of his long career when getting the better of Antiquity (winner since and runs in the 6.00) over C&D last month; bumped into an in-form opponent at Lingfield two weeks ago (7f; blinkered first time); another 2lb rise is not ideal but he is likely to give his running. |
5/1 |

2nd 2 (4) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well into the veteran stage but he retains plenty of enthusiasm and ran on well to beat a subsequent winner (Age Of Time third) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) three weeks ago, his 18th success; a 2lb rise not excessive but late in the day to be giving blinkers a go (has run well in new headgear before). |

22nd Oct 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Won comfortably off 1lb higher on seasonal debut at Pontefract (1m, good) in May but largely disappointing since; safely held when third in first-time visor over C&D one week ago and needs to find extra today. |

9st 12lb |
Began season with emphatic handicap win at Pontefract (1m, good) in May but not much has gone to plan for him since and he was well beaten when returned to Pontefract in August; in calmer waters here but it still takes a leap of faith to support him. |

19th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
0-12 since her winning 2yo debut and comes here after very disappointing 1m2f AW run last month; may benefit from today's drop back in trip but all her best form is on Polytrack and others have much less to prove. |
33/1 |

11th 11 (1) |
22nd Jun 2023 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Beaten 11 times since winning her sole start as a 2yo at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack), but placed in three consecutive starts over 1m on Polytrack earlier in year; blinkers make a return, but she is yet to prove she wants this far. |
20/1 |

5th 1 (5) |
30th May 2023 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Sole win on 2yo debut; looked as though her turn was coming round again in early AW starts this year but she found little over 1m at Kempton two starts ago and never featured back at 7f since; now trying a new tack returned to 1m2f (highly tried in one previous try); reservations. |

9st 12lb |
Racked up 13 wins in a superb career; unable to repeat last year's Ascot win in the same race this month but she'd been in good form for Oliver Searle previously and some of her best turf efforts have come over C&D, including a win; weighted to be involved. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Best form this season when placed twice at Haydock, including latest start; still on a workable mark but continues on a long losing sequence, which makes him a similar type to Billyjoh. |
16/1 |

9th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 37y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Record over C&D includes a success in May 2023 and solid second on reappearance this term; disappointing favourite here on penultimate start and losing run is mounting up; best form certainly gives him a good chance off current mark back down in grade. |
7/1 |

12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Disappointing favourite at Haydock last Saturday, extending his long losing sequence; beaten twice in this contest (seventh in 2023, well held in 2024) and can be opposed. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Hold-up performer who has plenty of short-priced defeats to go with his sole win; been running no more than fairly well in 0-50 company this year, including back on turf last time. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |

Strike-rate of 1-36 but not had many chances at 1m4f over which he was beaten 3l in a classified race on the AW last time; possible. |

4th 2 (3) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |

Just one win from 35 starts and he finished eighth of nine in a classified event at Wolverhampton (9.4f) last month; remains unexposed over this trip but he's hard to predict and others are more convincing. |

12th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Placed twice off lowly marks this year and will be suited by today's trip/ground but this regressive 7yo is on a fairly long losing run and others here appeal more; visor the headgear of choice today. |
14/1 |
|
6 (10) |
15th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
His last win came in December 2023 but he's run some good races this year, including when third of nine at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) in May; well beaten behind some of these rivals at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) 27 days ago, despite being sent off favourite; cheekpieces replace visor. |
8/1 |
|
3 (6) |
18th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
His last win was in December 2023 but he's run some good races this year including when runner-up in a classified at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in February and a close third in Leicester handicap (1m2f, good to firm) on his penultimate run; looks interesting on that form and he's respected in this weak race. |

Has been well beaten first time out in each of his three seasons, so it may be best to forgive last month's Kempton reappearance (1m, AW); won over C&D as a 2yo and back off the same mark as when winning at Goodwood (1m, good to firm) last summer; drying ground in his favour and respected for stable that won this with Mamillius in 2019 and 2022. |
