9st 9lb |
Triple turf winner (1m2f) on fast and slow ground; got back on the scoresheet at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) in March but he's not easy to predict and has been well held in last three runs; still 4lb higher than for his last win and he comes with risks attached back at this trip. |

10st 0lb |
No turf win since August 2021; kept on well when winning on AW at Southwell (1m3f; from 3lb lower) in March; perhaps found 1m (here) and 1m2f at Pontefract on the sharp side since; Becky Smith now takes the mount. |

8th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |

First and second in 1m3f handicaps at Southwell before unsuited by the drop back to 1m at Ripon; he's fine on turf and could be given another chance. |

Last of four wins on turf came in August 2021 but he's been in good order on AW recently, winning at Southwell (1m3f) in March; not sure that the drop back in trip will suit on this return to turf. |

Has won eight races, including four over 1m1f here; third to Dandy's Angel in this race last term, but not been in the best of form this season; others appeal more. |

8st 4lb |
0-18 overall and, after 265 days off, never dangerous in his two starts last month; several minor honours last year and one was a C&D second, which would make him look well handicapped but he's not the percentage call. |

No wins in 18 starts and was only seventh of nine runners over 7f at Kempton on his return from a break; needs to step up on that effort, though 1m is fine for him. |

Just one win from 17 starts and he's finished out the back in his three for this yard; mark is tumbling but he needs to turn things around back in trip; cheekpieces added. |

Just one win from 16 starts and out the back both starts for this yard; dropping in the weights but stamina has to be taken on trust. |

28th Aug 2023 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 4 |

Should take well to Epsom as he's locally trained now and shaped encouragingly at similar Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) on final run for previous yard; blew the start on debut for new stable; each-way hopes granted a clean break. |

25th Sep 2023 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Big chance on last season's form but he's been struggling this time around; dropping down the weights but soft ground would ask a new question of him and he's usually seen over further. |

26th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |

Regressive maiden who's undergone two rounds of wind surgery this year; the tongue-tie goes back on tonight, along with first-time cheekpieces, and would want to see good support before considering him. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Runner-up on the Flat last September and he's been in top form over hurdles of late at Market Rasen, winning two in a row (2m/2m4f, good) before finishing second on his last start; respected back in this code. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 7 |
19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Improved RPRs with each successive visit to Market Rasen, culminating in good-ground 2m1f and C&D wins in the past three weeks; unpenalised for an 11l romp in the latter, and he'll rarely have a better opportunity to round off a hat-trick. |
100/30 |
|
1st 5 |
12th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Usually saves his best for this track, third to Trust House (runs in the 8.01pm) in March and runner-up to a subsequent winner in April, prior to gaining his first win over hurdles here (2m; good, 4-1) a fortnight ago; a 6lb higher mark (close to a career-high) will make life tougher. |
