1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Third in his last three starts, but may not have achieved that much and remains without a win on the Flat since the end of 2023; others more compelling. |
9/1 |

3rd 5 (4) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 27y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Comes here on the back of two third-place finishes but the latest was behind Trojan Soldier and there is no obvious reason why the placings would be reversed. |

3rd 5 (7) |
17th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
There was some restoration of his Flat fortunes when third of five at Southwell (1m6f, AW; stays 2m) on latest start but he's without a win on the Flat since the end of 2023; has another career-low mark but it's hard to know when he will take advantage. |

22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 15y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Front-runner who has been keeping busy, winning at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) last month and going close on two of his three starts since, most recently beaten half a length at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm); has won here and is capable of another bold bid. |
7/1 |
|
3 (6) |
9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
Usually front-runs; never better than with his first and second at the end of last month, which were on AW however and his top four RPRs have now been registered in that sphere; something to find on turf, including as he was third here (1m6f, good to firm) earlier in July but is now 7lb higher and he dropped out at Chepstow on Thursday. |

2nd Oct 2023 Standard 1m 4f 99y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
held up in rear, headway 2f out, challenging when ridden over 1f out, no extra final 110yds |
6/4 |

1st 6 (8) |
22nd Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Sent handicapping for three wins (all on softer than good; unraced on heavy) and a controversial second from four starts this spring, all at odds on; good to firm may have been against him in June on his only appearance since; absent three months but he catches the eye with the ground back in his favour and his sire gives encouragement for 1m2f. |
3/1 |
|
7th 2 (10) |
25th Jun 2023 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Three wins and a controversial second in four handicap runs this year, climbing 31lb in the weights as a result; suspect there is more to come and he's one to take seriously; untested on faster than good to soft. |

16th Dec 2023 Standard 1m 4f 99y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Didn't reappear until August and yet to really get going this year, although the pick of those four efforts did come over C&D; eased another 3lb since Kempton latest but it's not enough to tempt. |

slowly into stride, soon prominent, raced wide early, switched right and went second with one circuit to go |
6/1 |

6th Nov 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Won a 1m4f handicap here in June off 2lb lower and suffered a narrow defeat at Newcastle one month later; wasn't at his best at Newcastle last month and unlikely to get things all his own way in this field. |
10/1 |
|
5th 1 (1) |
2nd Oct 2023 Standard 1m 4f 99y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Very patchy since winning his first three last season; has claims on July's C&D second (Chillhi fourth) but was always well placed in a messy affair that day and has since bombed on turf; hard to know what to expect in truth. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Flat and dual hurdle winner for James Owen last summer but well beaten in three runs for new stable (Flat/hurdles) this spring; now 4lb lower than for his last success but he needs a major revival; blinkers return and visor is removed. |
25/1 |

11th 10 |
4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Flat and dual hurdle winner for James Owen last summer but well beaten on both starts for new stable last month (hurdle/Flat); might be aided by refitted visor and/or first-time tongue-tie here but has lots to prove. |
33/1 |
|
8th 1 (4) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Flat and dual hurdle winner during busy summer for James Owen last year but well beaten (over hurdles) on stable debut on Tuesday and returns to the Flat with quite a bit to prove. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Didn't run badly in a low-grade Flat marathon last month but he ended the last jumps season with two disappointing runs (both 2m4f) and has a bit more to prove than some of these. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 8 (1) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 139y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Well beaten over hurdles on his last two starts but hasn't run badly on his last two Flat outings (1m4f/2m, AW) and his trainer has won two of the last six runnings of this race; not discounted. |
14/1 |
|
9th 3 |
11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Scored twice over hurdles (at about 2m4f) in 2024-25 but has failed to fire this term and beat just two in 2m4f Sedgefield handicap hurdle ten days ago; others appeal more. |
25/1 |
