8th Jul 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Regained the winning thread at Hamilton (6f, good) last time and remains favourably treated on peak form; defied a 4lb higher mark over C&D last August and warrants respect. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
A five-time scorer in 2025, including over C&D; runner-up in 6f handicaps at York and Redcar this summer and not ideally drawn with 14th in 6f Ripon handicap last time; not ruled out. |
25/1 |

14th 5 (5) |
15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
4lb lower than when third of 15 in this race last year; yet to strike in 2026 but there have been some good runs along the way, including his last two starts; looks the likeliest to grab the far rail if the field split into two groups; one to consider. |

Had a fine year in 2025, winning five times; in and out this year but his latest York second (of 19) was a fine run and he needs serious consideration despite a 3lb rise. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |

All his seven victories have come on the AW but he wasn't discredited with fourth of ten in 6f Newmarket handicap 15 days ago; not out of things eased 1lb. |

7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Multiple AW winner; has shown most of his turf form at Ayr, not disgraced last time; 0-22 in this sphere, so the booking of Oisin Murphy (up for first time) needs to make a significant difference. |

Useful on AW on his day but 0-21 on turf; handicapped accordingly but his latest C&D 12th didn't suggest he was the answer to today's puzzle. |

20th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Had a blip at Thirsk last month but generally reliable and was back on song with a creditable fourth of 12 at Newcastle (6f, AW) last time; this return to soft ground is no problem and his last run at 7f resulted in a strong-finishing second on Tapeta three runs back; shortlisted. |

Both wins have been over 6f on the AW; has some fair form on turf; good second on first try at this trip at Newcastle last time despite a tardy start (Kats Bob third, Kalganov fifth); a possible. |

Much better than this on AW in his pomp but there hasn't been much to celebrate in five runs for this yard, including returned to AW when last of seven over C&D two weeks ago; another ease in grade today but he's risky. |

Versatile trip-wise having been placed at up to 1m5f, while his latest win came over 6f here in December; rather in and out since and he failed to beat a rival at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) six days ago; others safer. |

No problem with conditions and he ran his best race back from a short break when fourth of ten at Lingfield last month (7f, AW); more appealing than many off a dangerous mark. |

Three of his four wins have been at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) and latest was in January; finished down the field in last two starts but he had an excuse over 6f last time and he could rediscover his spark back up in trip; not ruled out off workable mark. |

A touch below par at York (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago but third of 19 there (6f, good to firm) two starts ago and he has an eyecatching record at Pontefract, having made the frame on each of his last five visits; firmly in calculations. |
