28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Four 5f wins since December, including C&D, with the latest coming at Lingfield 24 days ago; only 2lb higher and looks set for another prominent showing. |

1st 4 (2) |
4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Busy since the autumn; some narrow defeats to go with three 5f wins, on Polytrack elsewhere and Tapeta; ran flat at Southwell recently but he's realistically weighted if that wasn't a sign that he's going off the boil. |
9/2 |

6th 5 (2) |
21st May 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Three wins in the winter, including over C&D, and he has continued to run well off his revised mark; drawn wide on turf last time and usually gives his running round here, so holds each-way claims. |

14th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has won on turf but better on the AW and may have needed it at Wetherby last time after a break (and wind surgery); perhaps more effective at 6f, though. |
16/1 |

6th 2 (6) |
15th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has won on turf (6f at Thirsk in 2022) but better on the AW and probably best watched after a break having had wind op. |

23rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

14th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Current wellbeing is an issue as he's performed poorly since his win in January; best known for sprinting exploits. |
33/1 |

11th 1 (10) |
28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Two minor 6f wins over the winter; not at his best on last two runs and now returns from 107 days off; drawn wide and others appeal more. |
20/1 |
|
9th 8 (8) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
6f wins at Newcastle and Lingfield this winter; not at his best at Newcastle (5f; tried in a visor) last month and the return of his usual cheekpieces isn't enough to tempt. |

10th Apr 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Continues to edge down the weights and he's run the odd fair race this year, but he's without a win since November 2023 and it's hard to be confident regarding his claims. |

2nd Apr 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
He has run some fair races for this yard but all four wins, the latest of them in November 2023, have come over 6f on Polytrack; solid effort over 1m last week; each-way shout. |

16th Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Yet to win in 2024 but he's run some sound races in defeat; rarely seen on AW these days but his last run here saw him record an RPR of 71 over 6f (March 2023); not ruled out. |
10/1 |
|
5th 1 (5) |
3rd Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Multiple winner down the years and served notice that he was ready to add to his tally when a close fourth over C&D (good to soft) eight days ago; closely matched with My Delilah and Some Nightmare on that run; rain no hindrance; contender. |
3/1 |
|
4th 4 (5) |
26th Aug 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Back-to-back wins in 2023 (extended 5f, good to soft; 6f, soft), the latter off 2lb higher; slow to get in the swing this year but he put up a better show when third of five at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) last time, when persevering well; this slower ground should suit; weights chance. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Solid strike-rate on AW but not so good on turf and latest sixth of 12 at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) will need improving on; nothing wrong with this mark, though. |
16/1 |
|
6th 7 (13) |
28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Enjoyed a hot spell in late 2025, winning three times (5f) either side of a close second over C&D; it has been tougher going this year and although Billy Loughnane's booking heightens interest, the draw could have been kinder. |
14/1 |
|
7th 9 (5) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Last five wins have been over 5f, the most recent at Wolverhampton (AW) in December; below his best in four starts since and now returns to turf for the first time since October 2024 following a 120-day break; best form on grass has been on soft/heavy. |
25/1 |
