13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Won a division of this off 9lb lower in 2025 when it was run as a 0-85, and raised his highest mark defied twice more after; holding his own in Polytrack Class 2s of late, but has more back in his favour tonight. |

27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Has registered all wins over 7f and in lower grades; however, ran respectably in Lingfield Class 2 most recently, while shaping as if this return to 1m is worth a go; whether he can defy current mark is another matter. |

Into the veteran stage but in the form of his life this winter, finishing third over C&D before a Wolverhampton win and a Southwell second; likely vulnerable to an improver but should give his running again. |

Won three times over this trip last year when with Roger Varian; no wins in seven for current yard and this is a tough race in which to put that right; in first-time cheekpieces today. |

Triple 7f winner for Roger Varian last year; gave a pretty good account before fading into sixth at Epsom (7f, good) nine days ago but is now 0-6 for George Baker and needs to find something extra. |

5th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
She's on a competitive mark on last year's best form and kicked off this campaign with an encouraging run at Newmarket, but she flopped at York in June last time (1m2f, good to soft; upset in stalls) and it's hard to be overly confident on the back of that. |

Acts on any ground and was beaten less than 2l when seventh of 17 on last month's Newmarket reappearance (1m, good), but she is still 6lb above her last winning mark and 1m2f just appears to stretch her. |

9st 1lb |
Usually ridden patiently; step back in right direction when keeping-on fifth at Kempton (7f, AW) this month, but his three turf wins in 2025 were gained over 1m and he'll probably need a strong pace to aim at over this trip. |
10/1 |

5th 9 (8) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Most wins come later in the year and is high in the weights (13lb higher than when last successful on the AW) after three turf victories last summer; not been at his best in two runs back. |

9st 6lb |
Won four Class 6 handicaps (7f-1m) in 2025, including on good to firm and heavy ground; back on last winning mark but he's been out of sorts in last four runs and needs a major revival back on turf; cheekpieces removed. |

13th Jun 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Turf winner (8.5f, soft) for R Hannon as a 2yo; missed 2022; his two best efforts for new yard have come over 7f at Wolverhampton; chance if at that level but he's been below par the last twice. |
8/1 |

24th May 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |

Winner on soft ground for Richard Hannon as a 2yo before missing a chunk of his career; hasn't had a lot of luck with one thing and another on the AW this year and returns to turf on a fair mark if the first-time headgear helps. |

13th May 2023 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |

7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Five C&D wins, three of those in cheekpieces on soft; has struggled for form this season (0-6), making only minimal inroads from the rear at Epsom (7f; eighth of 12; 50-1) latest; competes from an easing mark. |

8th 12 (9) |
11th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |

Two C&D wins earlier in career; conditions have been against him during the hot summer but he won the two most recent soft-ground races he contested, over 7f at Brighton last autumn, so the more rain the better; yard has won the last four runnings. |

Won 6f handicaps at Lingfield (AW) on his first two starts for Dylan Cunha, the second of them off just 1lb lower; perhaps sharper for last month's return from a break over 7f here; good amateur booked; not ruled out. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

11th 3 (1) |
21st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
In good form at Lingfield during the winter and is a bit of specialist over 6f there (112121), but he has won over this C&D; latest Kempton effort not hard to forgive given his record at that track and could easily bounce back; shortlisted. |

8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

9th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Just one win to his name but he regularly ran to an RPR in the 80s through the winter and his penultimate start at Ripon (1m, soft) wasn't bad in the context of this race; disconcerting to see him dropped to this grade but no surprise were he to prove too classy. |

13th May 2023 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |

Weighted to be involved on 7f Tapeta form in midwinter but he can lose ground at the start and, with no experience of Polytrack, he has something to prove against rivals who handle the surface well. |

5th 5 (8) |
20th Apr 2023 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Sole success came over 6f on good ground last June; mostly consistent since, including in his autumn/winter campaign on AW, but he missed the break and was never involved in the Spring Mile at Doncaster on his return to turf 19 days ago. |
