10th Dec 2024 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Knows how to win as he showed when successful from four rivals at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) last month, but he was allowed to dictate there and didn't back it up at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) a week ago (has won over that C&D); needs to bounce back. |

3rd Dec 2024 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Recorded his sixth win when making all to justify favouritism off reduced mark at Wolverhampton (1m6f) 18 days ago; this is a deeper race but he's only 2lb higher than last time and has won over C&D in the past; could be a major force again. |

Absent since justifying favouritism off only 1lb lower at Wolverhampton (won going away; stable debut) in April 2024 to complete a 2m double; major player provided he returns in similar form; the market signals may offer further guidance. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Industrious and usually dependable sort at 1m6f-2m2f; turf strike-rate is 1-20, however, and he was tailed off at Thirsk (good) on penultimate start, before he failed to shine at Newcastle's Northumberland Plate meeting (AW) for the third year in a row; not the percentage call. |
20/1 |

27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Industrious and usually dependable sort at 1m6f-2m2f; turf strike-rate is 1-20 and he was tailed off at Thirsk last time; back to AW and he's 7-34 in this sphere, but he's not shone at this meeting (16th in the Plate, 12th in the Vase) in the last two years. |
25/1 |

12th 5 (2) |
31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Industrious and dependable sort at 1m6f-2m2f but turf strike-rate is 1-19; not discredited on latest start (1m5f) but others are preferred. |

29th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
11st 13lb |
Dual Nottingham winner; acts on soft, unraced on heavy; shot back to some form when storming home in an amateur riders' race at Bath (11.5f, good to soft) last month; well below form next time (1m6f, which he stays) but Henry Callan galvanised him to a 1m4f win at Newbury (soft) on Saturday; sole attempt at 1m2f was in 2021 but he had to hold on at Newbury after going clear and his appearance over this trip with 4lb penalty no longer looks ridiculous. |

Acts on soft, unraced on heavy; shot back to some form when storming home in an amateur riders' race at Bath (11.5f, good to soft) last month; well below form off this 7lb higher mark at Haydock (1m6f, which he stays) 13 days later, however. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Veteran; seven-time C&D winner, but latest success was back in 2024 and he hasn't been at his best on the Flat this year. |
33/1 |
|
9th 9 (2) |
18th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Seven wins over 2m on the AW here; getting on and lacks consisency now; hard to recommend having twice been pulled up over hurdles latterly. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Had lots of Flat racing and won eight times; has yet to offer a great deal over jumps (0-7) but soft ground was no good to him here last time; others are still far more convincing. |

20th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 110y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Has had a couple of close calls at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) this winter but he's now 1-26 on the Flat and his only hurdle run was at Kempton (well-held sixth) in December 2022; probably best watched back in this sphere. |

30th Jan 2025 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 5 |

Only 1-26 but he's consistent and gone down narrowly over 1m6f at Wolverhampton the last twice; effective here and at this trip; chance. |
