10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Second in this race in 2024 and won it last year (good to firm); now he has a 4lb lower mark than last year; that's having failed to finish in the first six in any of his seven races since, but at least his latest start was better than reappearance and it's not unheard of for runners from this stable to surge back to form. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 26y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
His form went the wrong way last season and he was soundly beaten on last month's return at Newmarket; however, he may have needed that run and is 2lb lower than when winning at Newmarket (1m6f, good to firm) last July; versatile ground-wise; not ruled out. |

Of his five AW wins, two have come at this track, one over today's distance; respectable third at Chester (2m, good) on his reappearance in May but needs to be at the top of his game here as he is 5lb above his last winning mark. |

28th Sep 2024 Soft 1m 6f 1y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Veteran whose last win was in August 2021; second off a career-low mark at Wolverhampton (1m6f, AW; second run since wind surgery) on penultimate start but he's lightly raced on turf these days and has not made a significant impact in this sphere for a long time. |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 102y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
16lb below his last winning mark, but losing run now up to 15; might get more of a pace to run at than when fifth of nine over C&D last time, but others have more to recommend them; stable also runs Simiyann. |

28th Aug 2025 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 3 |

Handicapper has been relenting and he showed a lot more with third of 14 in a Racing League handicap at Newcastle (about 2m, Tapeta; 25-1) one week ago; a repeat of that puts him bang there; 2lb well in. |

6th Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Former Group 3 winner who's been on the slide for a while now; suggested he was about to exploit a much reduced mark when fourth at Wolverhampton (9.4f) last month and he attracted good support when keeping on for third at Brighton (1m2f, good to soft) ten days ago; overall profile far from persuasive but he still warrants consideration. |
3/1 |

3rd 6 (1) |
27th May 2025 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Suggested he might be able to exploit his much reduced mark soon when fourth at Wolverhampton (9.4f) a fortnight ago but his run at Kempton (1m4f) on Wednesday was a backward step and he remains without a win since his Irish Group 3 success in June 2022. |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
His last win was 14 months ago but he made some good late headway when runner-up at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) last month; only 1lb higher here and he looks interesting back up in trip. |

2nd 2 (7) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Defied an 8lb higher mark over C&D in May 2025 but was in better form at the time; chance depends on the effects of a belated third attempt in blinkers (last worn in 2023). |
8/1 |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Won twice over about 1m4f (AW/good to firm) last spring and he's thrown in judged on that form; twice close up on AW in January and a respectable third at Bath (2m) in April, before Ascot 2m race last week proved too tough; there's a rethink on trip today and cheekpieces (last used in June 2024) return. |

His last four wins have been over C&D, albeit spread over nearly three years; latest came by a nose in July and he was runner-up at Haydock on penultimate outing, before losing his chance at the start at Chester latest; well capable of being on the premises, including on soft. |

Well treated on 2023 form but hasn't raced on the Flat for over two years and recent hurdles efforts suggest he's not the same horse now; needs to prove he retains peak ability. |

10th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |

Useful on the Flat in his prime; yet to win over hurdles, but has made the frame on his last three starts, since returning from a lengthy absence; down to a career-low mark and holds claims. |

17th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |

Useful on the Flat in his prime; 0-8 over hurdles but posted best of three runs for new stable (since a long absence) when third at Taunton (2m, good; behind Mi Sueno) last month and is another 1lb lower here; respected. |
