19th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

No win since 2023 but he did record his best effort since returning from a 296-day break when second in 1m Southwell classified event 15 days ago; claims if in similar form with cheekpieces added. |

Won at Ripon (1m, soft; Barley was second) last July off a mark 8lb higher than today's but he's struggled since; others have stronger claims. |

22nd Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Well served by slow ground and he won over this C&D (good to soft) in July; however, not at the same level at Nottingham (1m, good) last month and it was the same story here (7f, good to soft) yesterday. |
8/1 |
|
6th 10 (5) |
21st Sep 2023 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Built on a solid reappearance third (7f, soft) when scoring over 1m here (good to soft) in July; hung left under pressure (not for the first time) when only fourth over the extended 1m at Nottingham six weeks ago but he did travel well for a long way and the return to 7f won't inconvenience him; the likely ground conditions will suit him, too, and his yard is in form, so there are reasons to be positive. |

A maiden after 14 runs but made the frame in consecutive 1m turf races last month and is also suited by 7f on Tapeta; continues to edge down the weights and drops in grade here; probably won't be far away. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
He was gaining his first win away from Hamilton when landing a C&D handicap last October off a 2lb lower mark; promising return to action at his beloved Hamilton 19 days ago; that should have blown away any cobwebs and he rates a strong contender for a yard who could be hitting top gear judged on recent results. |
9/2 |

3rd 4 (2) |
3rd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
One of his seven wins here came in this race two seasons ago; had the benefit of a run that year and record after this sort of break isn't overly encouraging; however, his course record is too good to ignore, he's on a competitive mark and goes on all ground. |
7/2 |

14th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 53y Class 5 |

Prevailed by a neck at Pontefract (1m, soft) last week, making it three wins from his last four starts and recording first success away from Hamilton; only 3lb higher even with another penalty; respected in current form. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Popped up at Southwell (1m) off a 2lb higher mark in January; the odd good run since but he needs to bounce back from a lacklustre AW run last month. |
14/1 |

10th 8 (4) |
7th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Gained his fourth win at his track when coming from off the pace to win by a neck here in January; kept on into fifth behind Avatar Jet over C&D 12 days ago and has each-way claims if this is run to suit. |

25th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |

Four-time course winner, all in the winter months, latterly off this mark in January; usually misses the break and again hung left when behind Marry The Night over C&D last time; a stronger pace would help for last year's winning yard. |

Yet to add to his two C&D wins in spring 2024 but got back in the groove with two placed runs last month, the latter in Class 4 C&D contest; ought to pose a potent threat at this lower level. |
7/2 |

3rd 8 (8) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Yet to add to his two C&D wins in spring 2024 but got back in the groove with a close second at Pontefract (1m2f, good) this month, his second run this season, and remains well handicapped on some of last year's placed form; a possible. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |

On a handy mark and may be back in better form with Thirsk reappearance under his belt; however, he's on two-year losing spell and record suggests he'll be more interesting when returned to Ayr. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Scored over C&D (good to soft) off 3lb higher last summer and returns here after respectable fifth at Musselburgh (1m, good) this month but has a modest strike-rate and a steadily regressive profile; others preferred. |

8st 11lb |
Gained all four wins over 7f+ and is yet to hit top gear this season but attracted stewards' attention when keeping on for sixth under tender handling over C&D (soft) last month and remains well handicapped; one to keep a close eye on in the betting. |
14/1 |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Four-time winner, all over 7f-1m, but none since May 2024; has run well over C&D in the past and rain won't bother him; beaten favourite in Class 5 events on his last two starts and this is tougher. |
7/1 |
|
8th 2 (3) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |

His losing sequence goes back 16 races to May 2024 and his form has gone the wrong way; however, he's dropped to a dangerous mark and ran respectably when fifth of nine over 7f at Ayr a fortnight ago (11-8 favourite), when shaping as though the return to 6f may help; not ruled out. |
