5th 10 (9) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Dual course winner who scored twice at Wolverhampton (7f/8.6f) in March; only 1lb higher than for his last win and he's had excuses with traffic issues and a slow start in last two runs; should get a good tow into this race and has possibilities if he gets the breaks; cheekpieces reapplied. |
12/1 |

6th 3 (10) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Two wins and a near-miss to his name in eight starts here and boasts a decent record in the spring down the years, added to when he went in twice at Wolverhampton in March; hit traffic last time and the harder they go the better for him. |

26th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Usually travels strongly; 0-6 this season, coming from the back again for creditable minor honours over 7f on heavy ground at Leicester and Newbury (yesterday) in his two starts this autumn; he's the sort who needs things to drop right but more than capable off this mark if they do. |

25th Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Last win came over 7f on heavy at Newbury 13 months ago when just 3lb lower; hasn't been running badly during a light season on ground too fast; off since June and record fresh isn't the best, but he's strongly considered. |

9st 1lb |
First visit here proved a winning one when taking handicap over this trip (good to firm) last May; flopped on his second go one month later and only bits and pieces of form since; career-low mark and cheekpieces (0-3) make a return after two-year absence. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
His last win was at Brighton (7f, goof to firm) last May but that was off 11lb higher and he's shown signs of a revival on Tapeta recently; should get a good tow into this race and could be dangerous back on turf. |

23rd Sep 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Finally off the mark in a weak maiden at Bath last month and it wasn't his first good effort in handicap company when a close third at Ascot (6f, good to firm) two weeks ago; was ridden more patiently than usual on that occasion; thereabouts. |
5/1 |

3rd 11 (13) |
9th Sep 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Goes well with positive tactics and got off the mark after a gelding operation by making all in maiden at Bath (5.7f, good to soft; handles good to firm) last month; could be unexposed as a sprinter (campaigned at 7f/1m earlier in career) and he needs serious consideration back in a handicap. |

9st 12lb |
Had a very good spell in the first half of 2022, with four front-running wins at 7f on AW and turf (good and soft), but not yet found her form this year; highly tried last time out and return to 7f will suit but an about-turn needed. |

It's now 14 starts since his last success and he beat just one in 1m Southwell handicap when last seen in October; this C&D winner needs a subsequent wind operation to spark a resurgence. |

In the frame in ten of his 12 starts since his latest success, as when fourth of ten at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) 15 days ago where he looked unlucky not to finish closer; his consistency means he gets little respite from the handicapper, but should run his race again. |
