Fair form in two Scottish races (1m, good to soft) last term, winning at Hamilton then third at Ayr; still open to progress and warrants respect on handicap debut. |

1st 4 (14) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Broke his losing run in clearcut style when he reappeared at Kempton (2m, AW) in March with restored cheekpieces, which have been kept since; good second in valuable race at Newmarket (1m6f) but he needs to bounce back from a disappointing show at Goodwood five weeks ago. |

6th 3 (10) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
2024 C&D winner who broke his losing run in clearcut style when he reappeared with restored cheekpieces at Kempton (2m, AW) in March; second in valuable race at Newmarket (1m6f) confirmed that he's turned a corner and must remain in serious calculations. |

2nd 5 (1) |
3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Thereabouts on occasions in 2025, crept down the weights and broke his losing run in clearcut style when he reappeared five weeks ago wearing restored cheekpieces in the Queen's Prize at Kempton (2m, AW); back up 4lb but showed plenty of bottle in that win and may have turned a corner. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Ended last season with big-field win at York (1m2f, good) in the autumn and posted another career-best performance when leading close home over C&D (good) on reappearance outing in May; ought to have been suited by the good to soft ground when well beaten in valuable Espom handicap on Oaks day but still enters calculations on return to this track. |
11/2 |
|
14th 14 (14) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Won a soft-ground maiden in 2023 but peak efforts have been on good in the last 13 months; unraced here but scored twice over 1m2f at the similar Chester track, including on his only start this season; all three handicap wins were in tight finishes, but he's gone up just 3lb since latest and is likely to be seriously involved if he goes on the ground. |
14/1 |
|
1st 4 (2) |
7th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner (made most) on reappearance at this meeting last year and, from four return visits, he placed twice last July; ended the campaign with a career best to win at York (1m2f, good; came from midfield) in October, which sees him raised 6lb today but he has to be in serious calculations. |

2nd 1 (8) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Seemed to benefit from combination of drop back in trip and change of headgear when clearcut winner at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW; first-time blinkers) nine days ago; 6lb higher here and too inconsistent to rely upon heavily but the return to turf won't be a problem. |
4/1 |

1st 12 (1) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
0-5 on AW and he was never a threat over C&D in March; remote third over 2m at Musselburgh (good) three weeks ago and he now drops back in trip with added blinkers. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 5 (5) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 217y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Two wins last season, the latter gained by 10l here (1m6f, soft; also suited by much quicker ground) in October; not in same form on either outing since returned to the Flat in March (1m4f/2m; cheekpieces refitted last time) but still considered. |

24th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Began the year with three heavy defeats but has posted a couple of solid placed efforts over 1m4f since wearing blinkers; beaten too far out to blame the trip alone on sole 1m6f attempt; although he doesn't look the most straightforward, he's of interest. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 4 (7) |
18th Jun 2024 Good To Soft 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Began the year with three heavy defeats but blinkers were added over C&D ten days ago (good to firm) and he ran much better, finishing second of seven behind a well-supported handicap debutant from a Newmarket yard; head carriage was a bit ungainly on that occasion but he'll be in the mix with a repeat. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 5 (7) |
8th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Made the frame in four consecutive nurseries on the AW last autumn, but has shown little in three starts since returning from a gelding operation; may not have coped with the soft ground when beaten miles at Redcar (1m6f) last time, but still hard to warm to; blinkers are given a go. |

31st Mar 2025 Good 2m 0f 190y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Seems to have learned to settle better on recent outings and kept on well for close fourth (just behind Willie Shake Hands) over C&D (good to soft) last month; slightly disappointing at Ayr since but still considered. |

7th Mar 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Remains winless but he posted a good fourth of 13 in 2m Newcastle handicap hurdle 22 days ago given he was set plenty to do; this keen-going sort can't be discounted off the same mark. |

7f classified winner at Catterick last August but he's struggled to get competitive on his four starts this year; others are preferred. |

Just 1-22 but on the plus side that win came over C&D (good; 40-1) last August, when wearing first-time cheekpieces; three AW runs since the turn of the year temper confidence. |
