11lb below his last winning mark and ran well when a close fourth of ten over C&D early last month, but twice held over 1m back here since; not quite sure what to expect. |

Finished well for fourth over 7f here two starts ago ago but faded into sixth when back up to 1m in refitted blinkers here last time and remains without a win this year; cheekpieces given another whirl today. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Gained last year's two wins over 7f on good ground in August and came second in a 15-runner race next time; made a respectable return to action one month ago and enters each-way calculations. |
16/1 |
|
5th 8 (1) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Gained last year's two wins in August but has recorded his other two successes (2023/2024) in the month of April; drawn against the inner rail and could be a danger, provided he's in top form on seasonal debut; market support would heighten interest. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
His form went the wrong way after he made a winning reappearance at Carlisle last May but he returns having had wind surgery and the break may have helped; 2lb lower than when last successful and could be involved. |
9/1 |
|
8th 4 (10) |
4th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Made virtually all off 1lb higher on seasonal debut at Carlisle (7f, good to soft) in May but not really firing on all cylinders since (six more runs) and has stamina to prove on first venture beyond 1m. |
10/1 |
|
1 (10) |
24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Mainly below his best since winning at Carlisle (7f, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) in May, including when well beaten with blinkers applied (retained) here over 1m eight days ago; back to 7f. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Hasn't the best of strike-rates and hasn't won since May 2024 when scoring off 13lb higher mark at Ayr (7f, good); however, has run creditably on his last three starts, all over C&D, and is one with a chance. |
15/8 |
|
9 (4) |
1st Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
0-13 since winning at Ayr last May but this two-time C&D winner has been runner-up on his last two starts, most recently over C&D (good); has won on good to soft; might not be far away. |

20th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Started this season with a 7f win at Thirsk (soft; 9-2) in April but he's not come close to that form since; now 2lb lower than for last win but he needs a major upturn in form; tongue-tie back on. |
25/1 |
|
6th 8 (8) |
21st Sep 2023 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Hard to get excited by his recent efforts but he has dipped back to the mark he was successful from at Thirsk (7f, soft) in the spring and it wouldn't be a surprise to see him stage a revival back from a short break. |
16/1 |
|
7th 7 (6) |
30th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Returned from a six-month absence to beat his nine rivals at Thirsk in April (7f, soft), completing a hat-trick in the process; three lesser efforts have followed and the returning tongue-tie (worn for his first two wins) needs to turn things around. |

6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Hold-up performer who needs the cards to fall right; losing run stretches back to July 2024 and others appeal more for win purposes. |
14/1 |
|
6th 7 (11) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
7-91 but without a win since July 2024; didn't get the breaks when fifth at Southwell (6f) on penultimate start and was an encouraging third to an in-form pair over C&D (beaten under 2l) 11 days ago; a likely player under Mulrennan. |
4/1 |
|
13 (13) |
18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Three-time course scorer; on a long losing sequence but holds a good chance off current mark, provided he takes well to first-time visor; has won in cheekpieces. |

20th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

On a handy mark on this season's best efforts but losing run is up to 18 and he's finished a well-held eighth in his last two runs; down the list. |
33/1 |

8th 3 (11) |
21st Sep 2023 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |

21st Sep 2023 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |

Has drawn a blank since winning in small field over C&D in April 2022; hasn't shaped too badly in some of his recent starts but he was down the field at Carlisle last time. |
11/1 |

9th 3 (12) |
7th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
No win since April 2022 (7f, Ayr) but has slipped to a workable mark, running consistently at Musselburgh; didn't enjoy a great deal of luck when a closing fourth over 7f there last week; returns to a trip which probably suits best; stablemate of Loom Large. |
7/1 |
|
4th 8 (8) |
30th Aug 2023 Good 0m 7f 33y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Beaten 16 times since last win last April but he's run three good races over C&D this season and is edging down the weights; each-way possible. |

Course scorer but he arrives below par, only sixth of nine to Odd Socks Havana in 1m handicap at Newcastle 31 days ago; needs to take a big step forward. |

26th Apr 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Gets away with this trip but it's easy to argue 7f suits ideally; pulled hard on heavy ground last time and is better than that but he'd been turned over as favourite three times on the spin previously and there's little room for manoeuvre off this mark. |

Just 1lb higher than when winning at Carlisle (6f, good to firm) in July and runner-up on soft ground last season; however, he's been well beaten on his last four starts, the latest here yesterday. |
