6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Made all over 5f on seasonal debut and finished second on both starts since, latterly under Cara Tuke in 14-runner C&D (soft) contest 16 days ago; evidently in good nick; ought to give another good account. |

10st 1lb |
He has returned from a break in top form, winning a 5f handicap at Hamilton (good) before a solid second at Carlisle (5f, good to soft) 11 days ago; returning to 6f no issue and he will be fine if it rains; should go well. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Not the force of old but he ran creditably when second to Alshimali over C&D ten weeks ago; wouldn't be sure to build on it. |

8th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual AW winner who is 1-19 on turf; now 10lb lower than for his Kempton win (6f, Polytrack) last March but he's been well held in last six runs and others are preferred; cheekpieces back on. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Multiple winner down the years; solid effort on turf three weeks ago and won't mind getting back on AW; looks the likeliest of Phil Mcentee's three runners. |
12/1 |

5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Latest of his 11 wins came at Lingfield (6f, AW) in January and he went close at Wolverhampton next time; fair effort over 6f at Lingfield 36 days ago but this slight drop back in trip probably isn't ideal. |
7/1 |

5th 4 (4) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
11 wins, the latest off basement mark over C&D in January; largely consistent since and may benefit from this drop back in trip, having raced too freely when fourth over 7f here on latest outing; back from two-month break. |

13th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Now beneath his last winning mark but he was beaten a good way out last time at Salisbury (6f) and he runs that track well; has been good and bad in the reapplied cheekpieces; bit risky. |

1st Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Five-time turf winner on a variety of ground, but has shown precious little in nine starts for this yard despite a plummeting mark; market should indicate whether a revival is expected. |
14/1 |

13th 5 (7) |
3rd Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Five-time winner over 5f on turf; out of form since joining present yard, but has dropped to a good mark and may do better on return from a break. |

25th Oct 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

took keen hold, towards rear, outpaced over 2f out, rallied and kept on inside final furlong, not pace to challenge |
6/1 |
|
10th 4 (8) |
18th Oct 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Came from off the pace to chase home an improver at Chelmsford 18 days ago; his losing run is gathering momentum but he's capable of going well at this level. |
5/1 |
