Up against it on the wrong side in the Silver Cup ten days ago but he'll be happier back in a Class 4 and now on the same mark as the latest of his three course wins (6f, good to firm) in June; one to be interested in. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Unraced on this course but some of his best form has come over Sandown's similarly stiff 5f and he's back on the same mark as his latest win there last June (good; a race he'd won 12 months earlier); every chance of being seen to good effect back on turf. |

Both wins on soft but has useful form on good to firm; has yet to race on this course but he's versatile track-wise and comes here in good form after finishing close up at Hamilton (5f, good) recently; thereabouts. |

15th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Has gone well fresh in the past, as when winning a division of this race in 2024 (soft ground); only 2lb higher than when winning at Hamilton last August (first run after wind surgery); failed to beat a rival in his two subsequent runs; unlikely to find it easy dominating in this field. |

Tailed off at Doncaster last time but he reared at the start so has an excuse; prior to that he was a good third at Nottingham (5f, good) and can be in the mix if reproducing that form; ran well on soft last year. |

28th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |

2nd Jun 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |

Usually takes a while to come to hand and two runs in Class 5 handicaps this year have seen him finish a modest seventh; conditions won't faze him and he's one to consider for a yard in form. |

All four wins have been at sprint trips on good/good to firm; well treated on old form but she's generally struggled in last eight runs including three for new yard this season; was never travelling over 6f here on her course debut last month and has lots to prove at this new trip. |

Back-to-back wins at Hamilton last September (6f); regular cheekpieces were left off for return and he shaped as if needing the run; can build on that in refitted headgear here; last AW run (over C&D) was his best effort on an artificial surface. |

Scored twice on a soft surface over 6f at Hamilton last September, but was weak in the market when failing in his hat-trick bid at Pontefract (6f, soft) the following month; may need this first start in six months and wouldn't want the ground to dry out too much. |
