26th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Runner-up twice in a row on AW in the winter before two heavy defeats; didn't run badly back on turf at Haydock (1m, good) last month after a break but the AW seems to be his preferred sphere (just 1-15 on grass). |
33/1 |

7th 7 (4) |
21st Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Four-time AW winner but he was disappointing at Southwell (1m) in his final two runs during the winter; has won on turf but that was a long time ago and he doesn't have a great record when fresh; opposable on return. |
16/1 |

22nd Feb 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |

Disappointing here three weeks ago but he'd been in good form beforehand, second at Wolverhampton and Lingfield around the turn of the year; needs a full revival to win though. |

31st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
One win (C&D) and three second-place finishes in six AW starts since October; front-running second, beaten a nose, over 8.6f here four weeks ago; in the mix again. |

2nd Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won over C&D in 2023 but better known as a 7f performer now; safely held over that trip here on last two appearances and needs to up his game. |
7/1 |

7th 2 (2) |
19th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Won over C&D in October before a good second at Southwell the following month; no impact after a slow start here on Boxing Day but that was against a pace bias and he still looks on a workable mark; dangerous if he can bounce back. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Back to form a little out of the blue when awarded a handicap over the extended 1m at Wolverhampton four weeks ago; retains plenty of handicapping scope on peak form but has done the majority of his winning on AW. |
6/1 |

1st 4 (1) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Patchy record since winning a 9.4f handicap here in December 2024; however, that was when ridden by Rossa Ryan (form figures of 11312 when he has been aboard) and he is now 13lb lower; needs a revival but a return to positive tactics from stall 1 would seem likely and he is an interesting contender. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
11st 1lb |
Won back-to-back races at Musselburgh (2m) and Les Landes (1m5f) in April but he's been generally disappointing since; on dangerous mark on this step back up in trip but needs to turn things around; tongue-tie added. |
9/2 |

9th Sep 2025 Good 1m 5f 192y Class 6 |
10st 7lb |
Won back-to-back at Musselburgh (2m) and Les Landes (1m5f) in April but has been below par of late; paid the price for doing too much too soon when a weakening fifth to Stellarmasterpiece (1m4f, here; beaten 2l) on penultimate start; easing mark helpful. |

26th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Made all when winning in a small field at Musselburgh in April (2m, good) and he followed up in Jersey 19 days later; poor run at Doncaster last month but he bounced back with a solid effort at Catterick last week (1m4f, good to firm); shouldn't be far away. |

10yo who has been beaten 19 times since his last win in September 2024 but he's been runner-up a few times this year (including here) and was third at Hamilton (1m, soft) last time; has a career-low mark; each-way chance. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Just one win from his 21 starts but he's been a creditable third on two of his three starts this season, most recently at Chepstow (7f, good); he's probably fine on good to soft; in the mix if he's on another going day. |

21st May 2025 Good 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Only 1-20 but his comeback run was encouraging, over 1m at Pontefract; Wetherby next time was disappointing but he did go down by only a neck on his last run over 7f (last August) and he's his Yorkshire-based yard's only runner on the card; Oisin Murphy rides. |
