20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Usually apprentice ridden but Jude Fernandes rides him for the first time; 6lb lower than when winning at Sandown (1m6f, good to firm) last June; he has not beaten many in his four starts this season, coming last in a four-runner race last time, but can't be dismissed and the hood he often wore last term (and first run this year) is reinstated. |
10/1 |

26th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |

4lb lower than when winning over this trip at Sandown (good to firm) last summer, but heavy defeats in his last four outings leave him with plenty to prove. |

9st 10lb |
Won at Wolverhampton (1m6f, AW) in March latest; won on good to firm in 2023 but it's a concern that last year he did much better on AW than turf. |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
His last win was 14 months ago but he made some good late headway when runner-up at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) last month; only 1lb higher here and he looks interesting back up in trip. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 2 (7) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Defied an 8lb higher mark over C&D in May 2025 but was in better form at the time; chance depends on the effects of a belated third attempt in blinkers (last worn in 2023). |
8/1 |
|
11th 13 (9) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Won twice over about 1m4f (AW/good to firm) last spring and he's thrown in judged on that form; twice close up on AW in January and a respectable third at Bath (2m) in April, before Ascot 2m race last week proved too tough; there's a rethink on trip today and cheekpieces (last used in June 2024) return. |

12th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Landed another Chester win in May but behind Stressfree, Have Secret and Paddy The Squire there last month, albeit perhaps just needing the outing after 11 weeks off; acts on heavy. |
18/1 |
|
7th 1 (8) |
14th Sep 2024 Heavy 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
C&D winner on soft and good to firm at the last two May meetings; below par at Epsom and Newcastle this summer but returns from an 11-week break only 1lb above the mark he defied in May. |
11/2 |

29th Jun 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 3 |

Enhanced his good Chester record there in May (1m2f, good to firm); comfortably held off this mark at Epsom since but good chance he'll bounce back and Wolverhampton exploits bode well for his first visit here. |

21st Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 2f 37y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Returned after wind surgery with close thirds at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) and Windsor (11.4f, good) but he didn't find much when disappointing at Kempton last time; bit to prove again after that and he's had only one win in his last 17 starts. |
6/1 |

11th 10 (3) |
25th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Only recently returned from wind surgery and under positive rides has finished close up at Lingfield (1m4f AW) and Windsor (1m3.5f); had no excuses either time but he's unlikely to be far away. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 5 (8) |
16th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
First run after wind surgery when unable to exploit a soft lead on the AW recently (1m4f); however, six of his seven wins have been on turf and he likes it around here; dangerously handicapped. |

The handicapper was in command on the Flat this summer and although his latest hurdle second (October) was respectable, he will need to raise his game to win here. |
