3rd 5 (9) |
31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Failed to settle and proved disappointing last time when bidding for AW hat-trick; effective in this sphere and may rebound, especially if the ground is optimal; has gained most turf wins on soft. |
10/1 |

8th 1 (1) |
19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Back to something approaching his best this summer, winning handicaps at Newcastle (1m) and here (7f) on his last two starts; well drawn to attack but a 5lb penalty could scupper his hat-trick bid. |

1st Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Three C&D runs, winning two (soft and good to firm) and a solid third of eight last month; made the running and faded at Chester since but he's better judged on the earlier runs; on the premises. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 4 (9) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Notched a fourth success of 2026 at Salisbury (6f) in August and posted another good effort with third of eight there (6f) eight days ago; handles this track well and has won on soft ground so must enter calculations. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 3 (8) |
11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Four wins this year include two over C&D (soft/good to firm), which makes him 2-2 here; normally reliable sort who can be excused his sixth at Windsor last time, when he was one of two that pursued a fruitless exploration of the far rail; could well bounce back. |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
It was leg three of a four-timer when he beat Box To Box in this 12 months ago so he was in flying form back then; hit and miss this campaign, but has posted figures of 112 in three of his races and this mark isn't beyond him. |
10/1 |

11th 7 (11) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 15y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Two wins over 1m2f at Ripon this year (good/good to soft) and a good second to Salamanca City (with whom he is 4lb better off) when stepped up to 1m4f there last time (good); won over 1m2f last September on only previous start here; interesting. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 1 (4) |
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. |

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 |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Four-time AW winner at Wolverhampton, where he usually races nowadays; has regressive turf form and it's four years since his sole success in this sphere. |

8th 5 (11) |
17th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |

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

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 |

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. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Placed in all three course runs over 7f; best efforts of 2026 when returned to 6f on last three starts, beating a big field at Ripon and running well with excuses since (all on good ground); thereabouts. |
11/2 |

24th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Gained a deserved first success of 2026 in 20-runner handicap at Ripon (6f, good) last month; good third of 18 at Thirsk (6f, good) off this mark since; capable of going well again. |
5/1 |

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. |
