Six wins on turf and 0-9 on the AW, though was only beaten a head here (8.6f) last October and is now 3lb lower; each-way claims. |

Six-time turf winner but his last success was in August 2023; returned to form with a close call at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in October but diminishing returns since and was only fourth of five on his Bath reappearance (1m, firm) last month; others preferred. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
C&D winner in 2024 but three subsequent visits have not gone nearly so well; none too consistent but two of his last four AW runs, including in January latest, give him a shout if he's ready following the absence; he's twice been runner-up after longer layoffs. |

31st Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
C&D winner as a 2yo and back to form when successful at Kempton (7f; solid form) in October; below that level twice since but better than the result when seventh of 12 over C&D latterly having been caught wide from the outside stall; has fared better with the draw this time and could be dangerous having dipped to only 1lb above the mark he defied at Kempton. |

22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Ran okay in a hot race over C&D last month and duly built on that when winning by a cosy neck 12 days ago (also C&D); major claims off 3lb higher; a positive showing from Waistcoat, who he beat last time, in the 6.40 would increase confidence. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Won two from five last season and made an encouraging reappearance/stable debut when fourth of nine at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago; stepping back down to 7f looks a positive move and the booking of promising claimer Jake Dickson is a plus; high on the list. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
In fine form for Denis Quinn last summer, winning Class 5 handicaps at Southwell and Newmarket in August and running well when fourth of 17 at Ascot 258 days ago; he will need to be cherry ripe to defy this mark back from his absence though. |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Record of 211 since wearing visor, the wins at Southwell (7f, AW) and Newmarket (1m, good to firm); back on career-high mark and back up in class but may have more to offer in the retained headgear. |

Just one win from 14 starts but he's been placed in his last four handicaps and didn't get much luck in a Racing League event at Windsor (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago; on same mark as for that close third and he's respected. |

16th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Bettered disappointing seasonal debut when respectable fourth at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) a fortnight ago, but needs to take another step in the right direction here and his tendency to race too freely remains a nagging concern. |

1st Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Leicester novice winner (7f, good to firm) last October after having been gelded/undergone wind surgery, but beaten a long way on return from six months off at Musselburgh (7f, good to soft) in April; possible that the ground didn't suit and it was a much stronger race than this one, so no surprise if he left that effort behind. |

Has been well beaten first time out in each of his three seasons, so it may be best to forgive last month's Kempton reappearance (1m, AW); won over C&D as a 2yo and back off the same mark as when winning at Goodwood (1m, good to firm) last summer; drying ground in his favour and respected for stable that won this with Mamillius in 2019 and 2022. |
