1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Currently 2-3 on Tapeta but he's generally struggled since leaving Karl Burke, his only win coming when allowed his own way in a small field last summer (been dropped in lately); the first-time tongue-tie will need to make a difference. |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
5-24; hit by the handicapper after making all at Yarmouth (6f, good) last June, and has taken a while to come back down the weights (now 3lb below that winning mark); posted low-key seasonal reappearance at Leicester; cheekpieces introduced seeking more. |

8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Scored off 3lb higher at Yarmouth (6f, good) last June but he's not come close to that form since and was seventh of nine on Leicester reappearance last month; plenty to prove and four of his five wins were as 2yo; cheekpieces added. |

16th Oct 2023 Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Flopped (behind Kingswood Flyer) on soft going at Doncaster; solid second at Wolverhampton (6f, AW; nursery debut) earlier in September and won on turf (good to soft) in May; could go well granted suitable ground. |
11/2 |
|
6th 8 (7) |
15th Sep 2023 Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won at Bath (5f, good to soft) on second start and close second at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) last Thursday on nursery debut, when clear of the third; runs before a 4lb rise kicks in and he's a key player. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 2 (8) |
7th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won a 5f maiden at Bath in May; similar form when midfield under a penalty later that month; moves into handicaps with some potential and stepping up to 6f for the first time shouldn't be an issue; AW debut. |

14th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

Proved reliable as 2yo but she raced too freely back from nine months off when last of five in 7f Lingfield handicap in July; blinkers are reached for now with a bit to prove. |
9/1 |
|
5th 4 (7) |
30th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Last season's nursery runs came on AW; shaped okay in them without looking a handicap blot and she'll need to have wintered well to take this after 281 days off. |

Not disgraced in a Listed race (found trouble) before finishing second of seven at Leicester in a 7f handicap that didn't really suit his hold-up tactics; this one might and he's worth a second look. |

1st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Didn't appear to be crying out for the return to 1m at Doncaster and weakened late on; this is his trip, over which he was twice runner-up at Wolverhampton in March; not handicapped out of it, either. |
4/1 |

8th 20 (7) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Best form over 7f, including second-place finishes on Wolverhampton AW this year; faded into midfield, having raced freely, when joint-favourite for this contest 12 months ago; not crying out for return to 1m. |

7th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Improved effort when winning a 6f maiden at Pontefract last month, his first run without soft in the going description; failed to build on it at York two weeks ago (7f) but this is less demanding and he still has some potential; AW debut. |
10/1 |
|
19th 14 (15) |
24th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Progressive, striking at the third time of asking when leading towards the finish over 6f at Pontefract (good) 15 days ago; could be more to come now handicapping and completes a strong hand in this race for his trainer. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Left low-key reappearance run behind when scoring at Redcar (5f, good to firm) nine days ago and is now 2-7 for Ron Barr; carries 5lb penalty here but is due to go up by that amount anyway and the slightly longer trip should be in her favour; likely contender. |
4/1 |

1st 2 (10) |
26th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

May have needed her Thirsk reappearance ten days ago, but just 1-28 and this is just her second attempt at 5f; others preferred. |
11/2 |
|
10th 10 (3) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Placed over C&D for Richard Hannon and her three runs at Thirsk for her new yard last summer yielded two close thirds and her breakthrough success; she has a 227-day absence to overcome today but is still likely to give it a good go. |

16th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Placed on AW in three of his six 2yo starts for Michael Bell; sold for 3,000gns in May and subsequently gelded; has been absent for a year, so the betting should be instructive. |
25/1 |
|
3rd 5 (6) |
13th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Placed over 6f at maiden/novice level on AW; has failed to transfer that form to two nurseries (7f/6f), latest at Wolverhampton last week; something to prove off same mark. |
14/1 |

8th 7 (6) |
7th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |

Placed in both AW starts on Polytrack; no progress for the switch to nurseries at Newmarket last time (7f) but returning to 6f may help. |

20th Jan 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Drawn a blank since his Ffos Las nursery win (6f) in September 2023; big prices and well beaten in four runs for John Butler but he ran better than the distance beaten at Lingfield 17 days ago (forced a strong pace and weakened quickly in the final furlong); tumbling down the weights and he needs a close look in the betting now back sprinting. |

Yet to add to 6f turf win for Jack Channon in September 2023 and was safely held on all three starts for John Butler in the autumn (7f-1m); lurks on a dangerous mark though and needs a check in the betting. |

Down to a career-low mark but he's been well held on Tapeta in last three starts and his last win was at Bath in August 2023; opposable. |

27th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Down to a career-low mark and wasn't beaten far at Newcastle three runs back when 4lb higher; however, lesser performances have followed at Southwell, where he's run well in the past. |

16th Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
In good form in the spring, following his Chelmsford win in May with another at Yarmouth 19 days later (both 7f); below par the last twice (1m) and now reverts to sprinting; drawn wide; Oisin Murphy booked. |
7/1 |

8th 4 (3) |
8th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Took him a while to get off the mark, but he eventually scored over 7f at Chelmsford (AW) and Brighton (good) in May; still 5lb higher than for the latest of those, but good to soft ground may not have suited at Ffos Las (1m) last time and possibilities if he can bounce back. |
