29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Readily landed a division of this race last year and sole win since came in C&D classified contest 34 days ago; should go well, for all that he might be vulnerable to younger legs. |

9st 9lb |
Dual C&D handicap winner who's run respectably on his last five starts (all classifieds); beaten just 1l (7f; first-time blinkers, now removed) at Newcastle one week ago and he'll likely be on the premises once more. |

12-time winner including over C&D; has mixed record since last success in May 2024 but he's reached the frame here in two of his last four runs; things didn't go well over C&D last time but he had a wide trip in that race and could be dangerous if he can bounce back. |

Just the one win from 29 starts but it was a similar race to this on AW in February; not at his best when last seen in April and rain would be a concern (unraced on slower than good and once a non-runner due to soft ground). |

Runner-up in a classified event over C&D last month but he's hard to predict and was last of eight in a handicap here two weeks ago; finished behind three of today's rivals in that race and that took his losing run up to 18; others preferred. |

Has a patchy profile and was never involved at Newcastle (6f) last Monday but his last win was on Tapeta and he went close in a classified event over C&D in August; looks interesting on that form and he's not ruled out back up in trip; change of headgear. |
