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. |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Has shown most of his handicap form over 7f, winning twice on AW; however, both 2026 efforts suggest this return to 6f is worth exploring; effective on turf and he's on a handy mark. |
9/1 |
|
5th 9 (6) |
19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

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. |

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 |

14th Jun 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

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. |

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. |

Placed over C&D twice in a row in July (firm) and respectable fourth at Windsor (6f, good to firm) since; this three-time course winner is high on the list. |
3/1 |
|
4th 10 (7) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Nine wins in his 91-race career and he was beaten by two noses (by Jackie Brown and Symbol Of Hope) over 5.7f at Bath on latest start, flying at the finish having been last of nine inside the final 1f; that classified race puts him back in the picture but Bath is his most usual hunting ground and his only appearance here was in 2023. |
8/1 |

3rd 5 (8) |
31st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |

Gained three of his nine wins here, two on firm ground over this trip; kept on for second (no match for winner) off his basement handicap mark over C&D (firm) at start of this month and has each-way claims again. |

Needs to rebound from a poor handicap run here nine days ago but is generally very consistent; came second in similar race to this over C&D (good) in June and probably won't be far away. |

12th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Admirably consistent 7yo who chased home Angel's Call in 7.3f classified race here in June and was third over C&D in that grade a fortnight ago; probably in the mix again. |
