Course scorer but he arrives below par, only sixth of nine to Odd Socks Havana in 1m handicap at Newcastle 31 days ago; needs to take a big step forward. |

Gets away with this trip but it's easy to argue 7f suits ideally; pulled hard on heavy ground last time and is better than that but he'd been turned over as favourite three times on the spin previously and there's little room for manoeuvre off this mark. |

6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Four-time Tapeta winner who resumes from eight months off on a career-high mark; gone well fresh before but is used to plying his trade in lesser company and may need some help from the handicapper. |
12/1 |

31st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Scored four times on AW last winter; opened his turf account with Brighton success (7f, good to firm) latest start, taking record here to 27221; likely player, provided he copes with drop in trip. |
9/2 |
|
2 (3) |
19th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Four-time Tapeta winner who twice went close over C&D earlier in the summer; has had his moments at the stalls, can pull hard and will always need races to set up given his run style, but he's one to consider; blinkers return. |

Back to form to win at Catterick last time (7f, good to firm); just as effective on the AW (C&D winner last December); chance. |

1st 9 (3) |
24th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

C&D scorer who hinted at a revival when seventh of 12 over C&D two weeks ago; he's very much one to consider off a 2lb lower mark. |

29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Hasn't troubled the judge since returning in December from a short break and finished well behind Spirit Of Bowland over C&D last time. |
33/1 |
|
9th 8 (5) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Last win away from Newcastle was in 2021; slow starts have been holding him back so both classified fourths over C&D this month can arguably be upgraded; chance rests largely on the start. |
20/1 |
|
4th 5 (7) |
14th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
It has been a long time since he won away from Newcastle and he has run to just a modest level in two Southwell runs this year; others appeal more for win purposes. |

24th Apr 2025 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won at Southwell (1m, AW) last month and kept on for good third there (7f) on Sunday in a first-time visor (now left off); he's 8-52 on AW as opposed to 1-13 on turf but he ran fairly well on grass at Doncaster two starts ago and could have a part to play in this less competitive race. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Returned from break with hard-fought C&D win in January and has held his form pretty well since, albeit his latest run was a shade disappointing; current mark is workable; no surprise if he features. |
10/1 |
|
6th 9 (4) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Kickstarted 2026 with C&D victory (third one) and has continued in good form, fading late on when third of 11 in 1m classified event here last time; ought to be thereabouts again. |
10/1 |

3rd 2 (6) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Running well here this year and he landed a classified in January; subsequently placed in two course handicaps (also 7f); didn't beat a rival in previous three starts at this sort of trip but still commands respect in current mood back in a classified. |

10th Nov 2023 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Multiple Flat wins; 2-3 on AW, albeit four winters ago; unknown quantity these days, not showing much on the Flat and over hurdles for previous trainer in 2022 and finished remote back from absence on stable debut at Ayr last month; tongue-tie discarded. |

14th Nov 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Tumbled down the weights but with good reason; this more suitable than the heavy ground he tackled a fortnight ago but would only be of interest if backed (yet to start at shorter than 22-1 for current yard). |

Four wins at Newcastle when trained in Britain and won over this trip at Down Royal last summer; two low-key runs on first two runs for this yard but showed more when sixth of 19 at Navan last time; on a good mark if he can build on that. |
