26th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Runner-up at Lingfield (1m, AW) in May on second start and occupied same position at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) in June behind a subsequent Group 3 winner; soundly beaten fourth of six on handicap debut at Goodwood (1m, good) last time and needs to settle better today but he retains potential. |

4th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Recorded his sixth Flat win when scoring at Sandown in August and he's won twice over hurdles since then, with his latest success in a Huntingdon handicap (2m, good) last month; open to more progress in this sphere and he's strongly respected on this switch to a claimer. |

took keen hold, raced in second, jumped slightly right 2nd, led after 3rd, pestered home turn, good jump 2 out, ridden out run-in, always doing enough |

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. |

1st Apr 2024 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |

Had wind surgery since last run; should be suited by this sharp scenario on stable/hurdles debut, having gained his Flat wins over 7f/1m on good ground; interesting. |

His nursery win came off a similar mark; beaten favourite on his last three starts and some hanging didn't help last time at Windsor; others appeal more. |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Turf winner who has bagged four wins at this venue; returns following a two-month break (has gone well fresh) but he's more a place prospect than a win-only one. |
20/1 |
|
2 (5) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Returned to form with 8.6f AW win in March and comes here after two good efforts over 1m on turf; drops in grade here and should be fine over this extended 7f; might be the answer. |
7/2 |
|
8 (6) |
18th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 212y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Four-time AW winner who returned to form when scoring at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in March; record of 1-18 on turf but he went close at Chepstow (1m, good) last month and is a big player if he can back that up off unchanged mark. |

24th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Resumed winning ways at Lingfield (1m2f) in May and backed it up with a good second of five at Sandown (1m2f) following month; must enter calculations after a break. |
7/1 |
|
6th 6 (7) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Returned to form to win at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) this month and he's since been second at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm), albeit no match for the progressive winner; there's every chance he'll be in the mix. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 5 (2) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Prevailed narrowly at Newbury last time, taking record to 5-28 and confirming that he's well suited by fast ground; back up 3lb but remains well handicapped on peak form and is a dual C&D winner; good third in this race last year; one of the main players. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 32y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Scored at Newcastle (1m4f) in March but largely below form since, last of four in 1m4f handicap at Thirsk ten days ago; this course winner needs to take a step forward in refitted blinkers. |
12/1 |
|
4th 1 (1) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Exposed 6yo who concedes weight to 3yo rivals but brings positives, being the only C&D scorer in the field and a winner off 2lb higher in most recent attempt in this grade. |
11/2 |
|
5th 4 (3) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Strike-rate of 7-50; won off this mark in March but well beaten in three of his four subsequent runs and has become hard to predict. |
