9st 11lb |
Inconsistent 2023 and while fifth of 16 in Chester Plate last May looked creditable, he like It's Good To Laugh has been off since; 2lb lower today. |

1m6f win at Sandown last July and beaten by a head over hurdles in November; those were two of the best efforts in a very in-and-out campaign (hampered on sole start here) and he was always behind when reappearing 12 days ago; wore cheekpieces on six of his last seven starts but they're off today. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Reportedly had breathing issue when well beaten at Perth last month and is now 0-9 over hurdles but his clear second to next-time-out winner Ruler Legend over C&D (good) two starts ago was a good effort; big player if back at that level. |
4/1 |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
0-8 over hurdles but has posted some good performances this season, most recently runner-up at Market Rasen (2m, good) 18 days ago; also effective on soft ground; makes a lot more appeal than most of these. |

9th Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Won off 5lb higher on Tapeta earlier this year and returned to form with a 3l third behind The Colorist at Lingfield four weeks ago; will need more again, though. |

3rd 4 (7) |
11th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won on Polytrack as 2yo but three later wins on Tapeta, at 1m4f to 1m6f; hard to recommend at present as he's been a slow starter since his most recent win in March and was way back at Wolverhampton in August. |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Scored for the sixth time when making all at Newbury (13.5f, good to firm) off 1lb lower in July and gave it a fair go from the front when second at Bath (2m1f, good to firm; Educator third) three weeks ago; same mark and should make his presence felt. |

2nd 5 (1) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 24y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Often a front-runner but he's a tactically versatile; six wins on turf (1m4f-1m6f) but he's not easy to predict and has been quiet on AW this winter; now only 1lb higher than for his last success but he still has stamina to prove at this trip and others are preferred. |

Sole win in 1m handicap here in 2021 but didn't achieve anything special in his only course start since; work to do on balance of 2023 form. |

9st 13lb |
Inconsistent type with a record of 1-14; didn't fire at Sandown (1m6f) last time but he went close at Newcastle (1m4f, Tapeta) on his penultimate run and has claims if he can recapture that form; has worn cheekpieces in last two starts. |

Took big step back in right direction and arguably ran better than bare form suggests when fifth at Wetherby (2m, good to soft) in March, but was generally very disappointing last season; others have more appealing profiles. |

26th Jul 2023 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Hardy veteran who drew a blank in 2022 but got back in front over 1m6f at Bath this April and his other races this season have been at 1m4f; ground softer than good would be preferable; considered each-way if he gets it. |
14/1 |

5th Jul 2023 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Good summer in 2021 included a win in this race under Serena Brotherton; drew a blank in 2022 but got back in front at Bath (1m6f) this April when last seen; it looks as if ground softer than good may be needed if he races over as short as 1m4f these days. |
7/2 |

1st 1 (13) |
21st Apr 2023 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
His seven wins have all been at middle distances but he has form at up to 2m and is ideally suited on slow ground; last success was in July 2021 but that was off 3lb higher and he returned to turf with an eyecatching fourth at Pontefract (1m4f, soft) ten days ago; kept on well out wide in that race and he looks interesting back up in trip. |
