24th Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
A three-time hurdles winner (around 2m) for Jamie Snowden but signed off for him with a below-par fifth in 2m6f Cartmel handicap 14 months ago; needs to hit the ground running for his new handler. |

28th May 2025 Good To Soft 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Rewarded determined ride when keeping on strongly from poor position to lead on the post at Carlisle (2m1f, soft; visored) in February but again raced lazily at Stratford (2m, good to soft; first-time blinkers) in March, where he was beaten before final-flight fall; worth a go over this longer trip but it's hard to predict the extent to which he'll warm to the task; visor refitted. |

2nd Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
C&D winner who continues to drop down the weights; however, he's struggled on his five outings since last July and a major turnaround is needed. |

3rd Jun 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Won three times in 2023, including here over 1m2f, but he's not been in the same form in four starts since being gelded; possibly needed the outing over 1m at Kempton last time and now steps back up to 1m4f, which should suit, with better needed. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Ran well for second at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) last month; failed to back it up when third of four at Newbury a fortnight ago; Simon Walker booked but others are more appealing for the win. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 2 (3) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Course winner; ran his best race of the season when narrowly pipped at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) last month; 1lb rise is manageable but a tactical race wouldn't play to his strengths. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 1 (5) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time course winner (1m-1m2f) but his last success was over 2m on AW last March; on dangerous mark but he's returned from a lengthy absence with two low-key runs this summer including over C&D; bit to prove and needs to rediscover his spark. |

11th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Narrowly landed a similar event over C&D in March, but well held in three handicaps since; return to this level should help, but others are preferred for the win. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Got up on the line to bag 1m4f AW classified event in March but he's made little impact in two subsequent handicaps and is 0-7 here. |
14/1 |

10th 8 (3) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Better known as a hurdler these days, but he made a successful return to the Flat when narrowly landing a classified event at Lingfield (1m4f, Polytrack) in March; never involved in a C&D handicap last time but that was against a pace bias and he has claims if things go more to plan this time. |

Respected given the best of his juvenile form but has yet to prove that he's trained on; reservations for now. |

20th Jul 2023 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |

raced in second, led soon after start, clear after 2f, reduced lead from over 5f out, headed and dropped to last over 2f out, no impression from over 1f out |
