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. |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Nine wins on the AW but just 1-28 on turf; fit from a productive winter campaign but he's drawn on the outside and others are more appealing. |

23rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Often front-runner; fourth of nine over C&D in January but he's struggled in three starts since; another headgear swap; others preferred. |

26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Conditions to suit and this mark shouldn't be beyond him; he does need to bounce back from a couple of low-key runs in February though. |

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. |
14/1 |

8th 6 (9) |
15th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
6f win here in November; back on the scoresheet when landing a 6f handicap at Lingfied four weeks ago; closely matched with a few of these on a C&D run on January 13; new headgear tried today. |

17th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |

6f win at Newcastle off this mark in November; not beaten far over 5f back at Newcastle on Tuesday; ability to feature and Billy Loughnane a positive booking for the yard (four wins and five placed runners from 15 rides). |

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. |

10th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All wins at 6f up to two years ago but last five successes at 5f, most recently off much the same mark at Wolverhampton before Christmas; has beaten a total of two rivals in his last three starts, however, so more needs to be done back at 6f; cheekpieces refitted in place of a visor. |
