8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has run well over C&D, including when a close third in this race 12 months ago, but the track doesn't always lend itself to his hold-up style; drawn widest and could prove vulnerable, for all he is attractively weighted. |
7/1 |

6th 9 (8) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Pounced to grab Thank The Lord (who, when factoring in riding arrangements, is now 6lb better off) over C&D three starts back; has lacked the pace to stake a claim in two C&D starts since; likely to need everything to fall his way. |
25/1 |

31st Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 5lb |
Last three wins have come over C&D and latest was off 3lb lower last month; never got involved here last time but that was against a pace bias and he should get a good tow into this race; not ruled out. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
In-form 8yo who can boast four wins and four seconds from 13 starts here; nailed Jojo Rabbit in the final stride at Pontefract (5f, good) on Thursday; goes unpenalised for that success and must be considered. |
9/4 |

1st 1 (5) |
24th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Musselburgh (5f, good) last month before close second at Carlisle (5f, good), and he suffered a troubled passage when 3l ninth of 13 at Redcar (5f, good) last Tuesday; this in-form 8yo is high on the list. |

9th 11 (3) |
15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Finally back to winning ways at Musselburgh (5f) in August and followed it up with a good neck second of 12 in 5f Carlisle handicap six days ago; not taken lightly in his current mood. |

Form has dipped in two starts this month but his two efforts in August were respectable; dangerous mark but something to prove again now. |

Sole career victory came when trained by Paul Midgley in Britain; highly tried and well beaten in three starts for new yard; impossible to recommend. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two C&D wins on soft and good ground; below best in the autumn and has needed both runs in 2026 but he's run two of his best races for Paul Mulrennan (1-3 on him) who is back up today; on a handy mark and a revival could be imminent. |
7/1 |
|
5th 8 (3) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Shaped as if in need of comeback run at Nottingham (5f, good; sixth of eight) in April; has some decent C&D form to his name and is 10lb lower (and claimer ridden) than when seeing off Our Absent Friends here in August 2024; foolish to discount hastily. |
10/1 |
|
6th 5 (2) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
More miss than hit in 2025 but back on a good mark as a result and a record of two wins and two seconds from his five outings over this C&D means a revival can't be ruled out back from four months off. |

25th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Conditions to suit and he should be well up to making an impact at this level; drawn wide, however, and others come here with less to prove. |

7th 10 (5) |
11th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Four-time course scorer who is a stone below last winning mark; however, has weak claims on his bare form this winter. |

30th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Just one win from 25 starts but that was over C&D and he ran well to finish fourth of 12 over C&D (good to soft) on his penultimate run; has been a bit up and down in five runs this season but his best form form puts him in the picture. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
His sole win from 24 starts came over Bath's extended 5f last May; has the same mark today and some minor honours this term, but the switch from cheekpieces to today's visor needs to make him step back up a notch. |
