Now 2lb lower than when winning a 7f handicap here on New Year's Eve; also ran well at Southwell (6f) in February but his last three runs have been underwhelming; needs a full revival. |

Won a 7f AW handicap at Lingfield on New Year's Eve; also ran well at Southwell in February but his last two efforts have been disappointing; lightly raced on turf but fully effective on fast ground; new visor needs to turn things around. |

9st 8lb |
Won a 6f Catterick handicap in June 2024 (good to soft); best run this time when beaten a nose at Ripon in June (6f, good); poor efforts either side of that; not easy to predict. |

Missed out by a nose at Ripon last month (6f, good); 3lb higher in a stronger race but he has been rated much higher in the past; couldn't dismiss. |

7th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Went very close in a Group 2 at the Curragh (6f, good) in May and comfortably made all in Listed race at Newmarket last month (6f, good to firm; Elmonjed second); carries a 3lb penalty today but has leading claims nevertheless at a track where he has plenty of strong form. |

22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Had a fine 2024 campaign once blinkers were added, winning two Newbury handicaps then blitzing his rivals in the Ayr Gold Cup; 0-4 this year but he has been running with great credit in good company; drops into Listed company and his record of 211 over C&D features a notable 3yo handicap win; looks sure to go well. |
3/1 |

28th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |

Last season's Ayr Gold Cup winner who has returned in good nick, going down by only a short head in a 6f Group 2 at the Curragh (good) five weeks ago; also had some good 7f form last year. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Long time since he won on turf and isn't as good now but remains consistent; returns from three months off but he can go well fresh; down to a career-low mark but he'd have preferred plenty of rain. |
14/1 |

12th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Ran well in a 0-90 at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in December and was only beaten around 2l when fifth of seven there nine days ago; now 5lb below his last winning mark but this isn't guaranteed to be run to suit his hold-up style. |
4/1 |

5th 1 (3) |
3rd Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Conditions suit and he ran well for third in a stronger race over C&D in late December; not so good at Newcastle two weeks ago but he's still a key player dropped into a Class 4. |

9st 9lb |
He boasts a high level of form on AW, running to an RPR of 105 or more in ten of his 20 AW starts; has left the impression most of his ability is intact on turf this summer and although he has a higher mark in this sphere, he's still a contender of some interest. |

17th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Has not won on turf since 2019 (last three wins have been on AW); never seriously involved when fourth of eight over 6f at Hamilton (good to firm) nine days ago and again opposed for win purposes. |

25th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
8yo who has finished down the field on his last four runs and needs a major turnaround; however, he's just 1lb higher than when winning in a big field over C&D (soft) in April on his last run here, and his good record at Doncaster also includes a win in this race in 2021; dangerous to dismiss. |
12/1 |

28th Sep 2024 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

Three heavy defeats have followed his impressive Doncaster win in April (6f, soft); not the easiest to predict but conditions won't be an issue and he's dangerous to write off. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Two course wins, the latest over this trip last October off a 4lb lower mark; good second two weeks ago and this veteran can make another bold bid. |

24th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

He was ending a losing run when scrambling home in a C&D handicap last October; finished lame when down the field here one month later; others are more appealing. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner; responded well to a change of tactics when making all at Pontefract in July (6f, good); not so good in either start since but not handicapped out of things if bouncing back. |
12/1 |

11 (12) |
14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 111y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Inconsistent 6yo who hasn't gone beyond a bare 6f for a long time and finished down the field at York in July when last seen; however, he won at Pontefract (6f, good) earlier that month and has shown some strong form here in the past (including a soft-ground win); could go well. |
20/1 |
|
12 (2) |
26th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
C&D winner; exploited his drop down the weights when making all at Pontefract 18 days ago (6f, good); still has handicapping scope despite a 4lb rise; one to consider. |
