Retains plenty of gusto aged nine and scored in big field at Chelmsford most recently, completing an AW hat-trick; successful (off just 1lb lower) in this race two years ago; likely player. |

12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
No turf win since May 2022; has posted some decent efforts at Newmarket (6f, both tracks) this season, none better than when runner-up in June; cheekpieces are yet to elicit improvement but this appears a better option than Southwell (tenth of 14) last time; easing mark. |

25th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
He is on a competitive mark and has a course win on his record (7f); not beaten far at Newmarket this month when tried in cheekpieces for the first time; wide draw but he's not ruled out. |

1st Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Twice placed on the two courses here before his effort petered out tamely at Haydock two weeks ago; returning here has to rate a positive, as might the addition of cheekpieces. |

0-13 on AW as opposed to 4-22 on turf; placed at Newcastle in May on last AW start; current wellbeing has to be taken on trust after two heavy defeats on turf. |

12th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Started this season with good thirds at Newcastle (1m, AW) and Doncaster (1m, good) but he missed the break and finished in rear at Carlisle last time; bit to prove again after that and he's won only once in last 20 starts. |

Six-time winner who is well treated on best form; however, below par during a light 2024 campaign and failed to revive on reappearance; best watched unless the betting suggests otherwise. |

4th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Recorded his sixth Flat win when scoring at Sandown in August and he's won twice over hurdles since then, with his latest success in a Huntingdon handicap (2m, good) last month; open to more progress in this sphere and he's strongly respected on this switch to a claimer. |

3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Moving up to 1m4f worked well in December and comparable form at 1m6f/2m since, including another win three starts back; he's come up a bit short in warmer races this year, though, including behind Align The Stars at Kempton, and none of his turf form (admittedly at up to 1m2f) is close to this mark. |
25/1 |
|
10th 6 (6) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Won three times in December (1m/1m4f) and continued in good form, getting back on the scoresheet in a five-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) last month; didn't run badly over 2m at Kempton last Saturday; drops back in trip here and may find today's company to be too competitive. |
40/1 |

6th 2 (3) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
Basically progressive in a busy winter AW campaign and probably stays 2m, although the last three wins were over 1m4f (twice) and 1m6f (latest start); raised another 3lb but needs respect. |

Four wins for William Muir and Chris Grassick; winless for current yard last year and has dropped to a career-low mark on first run for 209 days; may be best watched this time. |

30th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has won four times from 7f-1m (AW/turf); runner-up at Doncaster (7f, good; first-time tongue-tie) in March off a mark 10lb higher than today but he's mostly struggled since; returns to 1m and drops in grade with the cheekpieces back on and tongue-tie removed. |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Has won four times from 7f-1m (AW/turf); runner-up at Doncaster (7f, good) in March off a 7lb higher mark when tongue tied first time but, with that equipment retained, he's mostly struggled since; needs a revival. |
