1st 4 (11) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Drew a blank during regressive 2025 campaign and down the field on reappearance at Chepstow three weeks ago; however, he left last season's comeback run well behind to post 33-1 third on his next start, and he's not discounted off a reduced mark. |

8th 3 (9) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Went winless in 2025 but he posted some good placed efforts, signing off with a solid third in 1m Leicester handicap in October; not out of it if fully tuned up for his seasonal return so worth a market check. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Took advantage of a lowly mark at Southwell in December and he has flourished since, adding two more AW wins over the winter and going in again at Salisbury (6f, soft) last month; second in two fast-ground handicaps since; should remain competitive but this test will be sharp enough. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 6 (6) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Gained his third success of the season when winning at Salisbury (6f, soft) last month and he was a good second of ten at Windsor (6f, good to firm) six days ago; steps back up to 7f with solid claims. |
11/8 |

2nd 8 (3) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Gained a third win of the season in 6f Salisbury handicap 18 days ago, just holding on; this reliable sort can make his presence felt again nudged up 2lb. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Down the field at York and Windsor on his last two starts but he's won on his last four visits to Ripon (1m2f, good/good to soft), including twice this year; it's surprising he's only ever had one crack at 1m4f, given how well he kept on over that trip in 2024; firmly in calculations back here. |
11/2 |
|
6th 3 (2) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 99y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Most likeable front runner who bagged a second win of 2026 in 1m2f Ripon handicap in May; unable to lead from a poor draw when 11th at York (1m2f) 15 days ago and remains very much one to consider. |
7/1 |
|
11th 7 (14) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Better than ever when he won five times last year and he's carried on that good work this term, scoring at Ripon (1m2f, good to soft) in April and again over that C&D (good) a fortnight ago; that's arguably his favourite track but he's got form here too and can't be dismissed in current mood. |

11st 11lb |
3-8 over hurdles for Tom Dascombe (often with forcing tactics) and he won his first two on the Flat once joining this yard; solid fourth of 13 from the rear at Warwick (2m, good to soft; kept on) 11 days ago; respected. |
6/1 |

4th 6 |
8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

20th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |

Has four wins at this track, mostly over today's distance; 3lb higher than his last success in March but cannot be dismissed here. |
12/1 |
|
5th 8 (11) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
It was a narrow verdict over 8.6f here four weeks ago and he went up only 3lb; with that run under his belt and being a triple C&D winner, he should feature again if able to overcome a wider than ideal draw. |
7/1 |
|
1st 6 (4) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Won three times over 9.4f here last year and ended that year with a keeping-on second over that trip; returns from two-month break on fairly tough mark, though, and this drop back to 8.6f is not ideal. |

5th Apr 2023 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Below par at Newcastle last November when last seen (had won there in July); however, two starts ago he was second of five behind a fast-improving rival in a handicap at Goodwood (7f, good to soft), and he also ran well on soft ground on his debut; not ruled out if back on song. |
10/1 |

5th 1 (1) |
1st Nov 2022 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Promise in his first two starts before getting off the mark with a game C&D success in July; solid second on his nursery debut at Goodwod last month; still has time to do better and returning to a stiffer track could help. |

17th Aug 2023 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Off the mark in a small-field handicap at Kempton in March; better form in 1m handicaps at Newmarket and Haydock in May but his form dipped back at Haydock in June latest; drawn widest. |
10/1 |

9 (9) |
14th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Made a winning return at Kempton (1m, AW) in March and two good efforts on turf in May, including when fourth of 11 in a warm handicap at Haydock (1m, good to firm); was behind Metal Merchant then, but may have been unlucky not to finish second; not so good back there a fortnight later (behind Good Gracious), but a player if bouncing back; stable won this in 2016 and 2019. |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Performed with credit when twice reaching the frame in May; a stumble at the start did not help when only sixth at Thirsk latest but he's winless since 2024 and that wait for a next success may go on unless a change of headgear (first-time visor for regular cheekpieces) gives him a lift. |

27th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |

On a 16-race losing run but down the weights as a result and he was on the heels of the winner when third of 12 at Thirsk (7f) 11 days ago; having his first race here; thereabouts if he takes to it. |

31st Jul 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Likely player on his best RPRs, which have been achieved over 7f, 1m and 11.5f; however, he's comparatively exposed (now 0-6) and not particularly solid on 2023 evidence; cheekpieces added back down in distance. |
14/1 |

8th 1 (4) |
16th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up at Yarmouth (7f) and Newbury (1m) last October, before tailed off on reappearance in his only handicap; back to form when tongue tied in maiden at Yarmouth (11.4f, good to firm) 15 days ago and this drop back in trip may well help, but marked overall improvement is needed. |
