8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Missed most of last season but won on good/AW in four of his six starts since, the latest in clearcut fashion with first-time cheekpieces at Newcastle on AW Championships day; raised another 7lb, drawn wide and lacks any race experience at this track, but he's going from strength to strength. |

1st 9 (12) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
In and out on his five runs since returning from an absence in October but he's won three of them, most recently at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) in January; has also won on Tapeta; this steadily progressive 6yo has gone up just 2lb for last time and could again be involved; cheekpieces go on. |

31st Jan 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |

Has won four of his last seven races, including at Kempton (2m) in December, but he ran unaccountably poorly when favourite at Newcastle two weeks ago; needs to rebound but he's back in a lower grade here and it's possible. |

All five wins have been over 2m on AW; couldn't pose a threat at Lingfield last month but the drop back to 1m5f looked against him and he went very close on his Wolverhampton reappearance in March; still looks feasibly treated on that form and has possibilities back at his optimum trip. |

Polytrack hat-trick at 1m3f/1m4f this time last year (made all leg two/made most leg three); all but one of his starts since has been over 2m or over hurdles and he hasn't been finishing his races off, including following wind surgery last time. |

Close third over fences at Fontwell last April but such high points have been scarce in his winless, 17-race rules career; well-beaten fifth in points on his last two starts; reverts to rules with something to prove. |

9th Oct 2023 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |

Not seen over hurdles since two heavy defeats last autumn (2m4f/2m) and both Flat runs last month were underwhelming; tries a new trip here; others have much less to prove. |

27th Sep 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 6 |

Some poor results over hurdles and on Flat in 2022 but had won in both disciplines earlier in career; didn't run badly back from layoff at Bath recently (1m6f), fading and eased late, but needs to show he stays 2m in only his second AW handicap. |

Yet to win this year but there has been a recent upturn in her form, and she would probably have preferred a stronger pace to aim at when a staying-on second behind Fair Dinkum over C&D last month; up in grade today but has the services of Oisin Murphy; shortlisted. |

9st 9lb |
Finished strongly to lead close home at Lingfield (11.6f, soft) in July and is now only 1lb above that mark but her subsequent form has been underwhelming and she's not one to rely upon. |

27th Sep 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 6 |

All races over shorter, getting off the mark over an extended 1m3f on soft at Lingfield in July; lesser effort upped to 1m6f next time and never a threat back on Lingfield AW (1m5f) 11 days ago; stamina unknown for 2m. |

Gained her breakthrough victory here (11.5f) in July and not disgraced off a 3lb higher mark when fourth of ten at Catterick (1m6f) 17 days ago; she can't be discounted. |

First two wins over 1m4f (turf) and 1m2f (Polytrack) but found stamina reserves when upped to 2m over C&D on latest Flat start for previous trainer in February; poor hurdles form since but may have more to come at this trip back with former yard if jumping experience hasn't soured him. |
