23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Behind on his only run here (2023); Doncaster last June saw his only turf win since 2021, amidst plenty of AW success admittedly but he was out of form in February when last seen; has a competitive mark but other cases look a bit more solid, particularly as he's drawn wide. |

Six-time course winner, most recently off 2lb lower in December; finished an aggregate of almost 3l behind Diamondonthehill in two subsequent starts; that solid rival seems to have the upper hand. |

31st May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Ended 2025 with two good runs but he has been well short of that level in two runs this year, a wind op before the latest making no difference; tongue tie returns; risky despite his reduced mark. |

8st 11lb |
First win was on turf (7f) and last two have been on Tapeta (8.6f); reached the frame in two starts at Wolverhampton in December but he had a major blip there the following month; had another wind operation since and needs a major revival after four months off. |

Three wins in a busy campaign this year, the latest at Pontefract (1m, good) last month; another solid effort when second of 13 in a Racing League handicap at Windsor (1m, good to firm) 11 days ago and although up another 3lb, still makes the shortlist. |

5yo who improved his turf record to 3-9 when justifying support at Leicester (6f, soft) last month; up 3lb for that narrow win but he beat a clear second and this return to forecast quicker ground is no problem; respected for in-form yard. |

Went close on Tapeta last month and also ran well when fourth of 12 on turf return at Windsor (good) 12 days ago; not yet tested on soft ground but is fine on good to soft; can give another good account. |

Triple C&D winner; well treated on his early 2023 form but he's been well below that level in all three starts for this trainer; looks in need of more help from the handicapper. |

Retains plenty of vitality despite his advancing years; however, form dipped last time when bidding for a Chelmsford double; gained the most recent win in a lower grade. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Triple C&D winner who took advantage of a reduced mark when coming from rear to score at Brighton (7f, good) in August; remains well treated on old form but his spark was missing at Kempton last time and he needs to step up again after that. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Missed a chunk of last year and has slid to a competitive mark for his current yard; just behind Southbank over C&D a month ago and is one to consider back in headgear (second-time blinkers). |
5/1 |

3rd 9 (10) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |

Down the field on first four starts for Chelsea Banham but fared better when fifth in a Wolverhampton classified (6f; heavily backed) last month; needs to build on that effort but it will be interesting to see whether he's strong in the betting again. |
6/1 |

5th 11 (2) |
24th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won a C&D handicap in December 2024, recording an RPR of 71 in the process; unfancied and has finished down the field in four runs for Chelsea Banham this winter; eligible for this 0-50 classified as a result; a return to form is likely to be foretold by the betting. |
