10th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Three AW wins when trained by Ed Dunlop; 0-5 for current yard but was placed over 1m2f here last month; 1m too sharp last time; each-way claims if on his game. |

10th 5 (7) |
1st Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y |
9st 11lb |
Four-time winner for Ed Dunlop (three on AW); won four-runner 1m2f Brighton handicap last July; best run for this yard so far when a dead-heating third of nine with Star Mind over the extended 1m2f here last Friday; this trip is possibly a bit shorter than ideal. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 12lb |
Four-time winner for Ed Dunlop (three on AW); won four-runner Brighton handicap last July; some encouragement in his 5.75l seventh here in February, but that is sandwiched between two poor efforts for new yard. |

23rd Nov 2023 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Comparatively exposed, with record only 1-14, and has edged up the weights; however, he's in good form having gone close in three of his last four outings, latest at Chelmsford (1m2f); could go well again. |

27th Oct 2023 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Consistent since blinkers went on and will be 3lb higher from tomorrow for last Monday's Kempton near-miss (one of three to come away despite edging left); can miss the break and pull hard but could well get this run to suit, so needs considering. |

26th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Showed some improvement on her most recent start, when trying to make all and finishing over 3l fifth at Bath (1m, good to soft); initial mark a bit stiff based on that but there could be improvement to come over this new trip; interesting. |

30th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Raced exclusively over 1m2f this year and has come 9lb down the weights; has hung left more than once and first-time headgear will need to prove the answer if she's to make it 12th time lucky. |
12/1 |

Ten-race maiden who isn't improving but her third at Brighton (1m2f, good) in April showed she may be capable of picking something up. |

9th Sep 2024 Soft 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Placed in low-grade handicaps on the Flat and bettered his disappointing hurdle debut when ridden much more positively at Uttoxeter (2m, good; first-time visor) in July, finishing third behind Torrent; has a fighting chance if he handles the slower ground. |
9/1 |

3rd 12 |
28th Jul 2024 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Modest maiden on the Flat; should have the stamina for hurdling but was tailed off at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) on first attempt at this discipline; swaps usual cheekpieces for first-time visor. |

25th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |

No wins in 11 on the Flat but mostly consistent and he stayed 1m4f; could make a hurdler. |

14th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Best on the Flat at around 1m2f and his two wins over hurdles came over 2m round undemanding courses; stamina would be a concern then for a yard also responsible for Aggagio and Galactic Jack. |
6/1 |
|
5th 7 |
9th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Dictated a modest pace when just holding on over 2m here (soft) a fortnight ago, for which he's gone up only 3lb; it remains to be seen whether he'll get this far as he's bred for the Flat. |
7/2 |

1st 2 |
26th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Off the mark over hurdles in juvenile maiden at Warwick (2m, good to soft; 50-1) in December 2024; well held on handicap debut at Fontwell (2m1f, heavy) last month; needs to have come on for that; cheekpieces return. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Hit form, winning classified contests at Wolverhampton (8.5f) and Lingfield (1m) earlier this year; not far off those levels when last seen at Wolverhampton (sixth) two months ago; possible player on first visit to Newcastle with the promising Conor Whiteley booked. |
13/2 |

6th 7 (2) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
His options have improved since eligible for classified events and he's 2-3 at that level of late, over C&D and 1m at Lingfield; needs more back in a handicap. |
7/2 |
|
1st 2 (4) |
25th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Successful in this grade at Wolverhampton last month (8.6f) and backed it up with a solid C&D second two weeks ago; no obvious reason why he wouldn't be in the thick of the action once again. |
