26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has claims on a couple of runner-up efforts over 6f (good to firm) last summer but he's still a maiden after 31 starts and was well held in classified events in his final two runs last winter; now returns to sprinting but he needs to revive after 165 days off. |
11/2 |

2 (9) |
16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
27-race maiden but he's had three seconds since August and things didn't go his way behind an improver at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last time; should get a good tow into this race and has claims if he gets the breaks. |
9/1 |
|
2 (8) |
22nd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
26-race maiden but he's finished runner-up in his last three starts including over C&D (cheekpieces reapplied) on Saturday; had some traffic issues in that race and he should be in the mix again if turned out quickly. |

Appreciated the step up to 7f when winning his maiden at Musselburgh and appeared to give his running on nursery debut at Leicester, going down by 2l after racing prominently; each-way claims now upped to 1m. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
A four-time 6f AW scorer in 2025; built on earlier promise to gain a first turf victory in 7f Chester handicap a week ago, making all and drawing right away last 1f for 8l success; major shout under a 5lb penalty. |
5/4 |
|
1st 2 (4) |
10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Four-time AW winner who returned to form on his second run after wind surgery when a front-running second at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) last month; record of 0-14 on turf but he's 6lb lower than last time and is well handicapped on his second at York last spring; respected. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
18th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Well handicapped on peak form and his midfield finish at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) in March, on first run after wind surgery, was encouraging; he has a higher mark to contend with back on AW but this represents a drop in class and he shouldn't be underestimated. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Fourth and fifth in his two big-field C&D races last term; Newcastle win in March ensures a career-high mark today but it's hard to judge him harshly on last week's C&D result as he didn't see daylight at various stages. |
20/1 |

16th 17 (12) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Couple of sound performances on Newcastle AW this year, winning over 7f latest; back on career-high mark but he's a five-time turf scorer who has form over C&D and appears to hold solid claims. |
10/1 |
|
1st 11 (5) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Spring has been quite a productive time for him which provides hope that he can build on a promising reappearance third over 6f here 15 days ago; has raced mainly at 7f/1m in recent years so the step back up in trip should help if anything. |

Bounced back from a spell in the doldrums with fair front-running fourth at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) last month; also effective over C&D and a bold bid is possible. |

27th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |

9th 3 (6) |
28th Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Campaigned at Chester this summer, twice disappointing since his June win; has a solid record (13122) in AW handicaps but the removal of usual cheekpieces presents a question mark. |

Beat three rivals in an Ayr maiden (5f, good; first-time visor) in May, but although not disgraced he hasn't really built on it in four nurseries in the meantime; has run well on good to soft, but anything softer would be a concern; no headgear today. |

Sole win (ten races) was a 5f novice at Chester last July; has run creditably this winter on all three starts (7f/6f, Tapeta) since gelded but those results also suggest he will again prove vulnerable to an improver. |

Could hardly be coming into this in better form, winning four of her last five starts including another Listed event at Chester (7f, good) ten days ago; still favoured on these terms despite her 3lb penalty and although the stiffer mile is one small question mark, she is a major player nonetheless. |

This 5yo is in the form of her life at present, gaining a third Musselburgh handicap win of the season when easily seeing off seven rivals 37 days ago; had a wide stall as a an excuse for a slightly below-par effort over the extended 7f here prior to that and she went close here last season; on the shortlist. |
