25th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Three of his five wins have come at this track; not at his best on turf the last twice but he's edging back down the weights and a better showing can't be ruled out. |

Five-time AW winner but made it 0-12 on turf when finishing last at Brighton, where he ran well to be third the time before; even if back on song, all his wins have come at a lower level than this. |

4th 11 (10) |
24th May 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 5lb |
Had two years on the sidelines and it took him a couple of runs to rediscover his spark; back in the groove now, following a good win at Southwell with a close second at Salisbury three weeks ago (both 6f); returning to 7f won't hurt and he's one to consider despite the rise in class. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 6 (5) |
4th May 2023 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Lightly raced 6yo who missed two years of his career; has taken time to recapture form since back in action but was a fluent 6f winner on Southwell AW in February (first-time tongue-tie, retained) and is well treated on past form on soft. |

19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Always the danger he'll fluff the start, as he did on his C&D comeback in March; not beaten far that day and is on his last winning mark but comes with risks attached. |
20/1 |
|
8th 2 (7) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Inconsistent last year and he can have issues at the start; however, he's feasibly treated on the pick of his 2025 efforts and his trainer's horses can go well when fresh; not ruled out. |

9st 7lb |
4lb higher than his latest win at Lingfield in December (7f, Polytrack) and ran well when 1lb higher than this next time; form has been tailing off since then and he has a bit to prove dropping back to this trip. |
7/1 |

8th 9 (4) |
14th Jun 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Last two wins came off breaks of 142 and 131 days but is fine with a quick turnaround; course runs this year suggest he may find a few better handicapped, though; cheekpieces discarded. |

6f and 7f AW winner; 5lb higher than when scoring at Lingfield on his penultimate start; no major excuses when beaten 4l at Kempton latest but still arguably unexposed; needs to step up on previous turf efforts. |

Runner-up over 1m (soft) last October in one of his two starts at this track; not in top form this season (co-favourite last time) but the handicapper is giving him every chance; wore cheekpieces last two outings. |

All five wins have been over 7f on AW but latest was 11 months ago; on dangerous mark but he ended last year on a low note and was tailed off on his hurdling debut last month; has rejoined Darryll Holland since that last run but he has some questions to answer; blinkers reapplied. |

22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Acts of firm and heavy ground; triple course winner who scored at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) in January but he's been quiet there in last three runs; has bit to prove and needs to rediscover his spark back on turf. |
14/1 |
|
8th 8 (7) |
23rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Gained the latest of his nine wins in a C&D handicap in January; good second here next time but his form has cooled in classified events over C&D in last two runs; bit to prove and he needs to get back on track. |

5lb lower than when successful at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) a year ago, but that his only win in his last 22 starts; well beaten on last month's stable debut under Alexander Woodford at Southwell (6f, Tapeta); others preferred. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Has run with credit since winning at Chepstow (7f, good to firm) last July but is a victim of his own consistency and probably needs to drop a couple of pounds before finding another opening. |
