22nd Feb 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
All five wins have been over 7f on AW but latest was 11 months ago; on dangerous mark but he ended last year on a low note and was tailed off on his hurdling debut last month; has rejoined Darryll Holland since that last run but he has some questions to answer; blinkers reapplied. |

11th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Should be well treated but he hasn't offered a great deal since January; this trip perhaps more suitable than the 5.7f he tackled at Bath on his return from a break four weeks ago; still looks opposable. |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |

All wins on AW and his best turf form has come on good ground; lowly mark but others have more compelling claims. |
25/1 |

10th 8 (3) |
3rd Jun 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Four wins on the AW and 8lb lower than for the latest; promising return when beaten under a length into third of six at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack) in January, but hasn't built on it; switch to blinkers needs to have a positive effect. |

2nd 6 (8) |
13th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
His heyday was two winters back but he still won last July (1m1f on turf) and is often thereabouts, including on Tapeta; not totally ruled out despite the 106-day absence. |
10/1 |

4th 1 (5) |
18th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Landed a sixth success when winning a 12-runner handicap at Redcar (1m1f, good to soft) in July; kept at in when fourth at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) under a penalty six days later and excuses both starts since; very much respected. |
7/2 |

3rd 4 (9) |
2nd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |

Has won three times over 7f here; best run this year when winning over 1m1f at Redcar three runs back; stamina to prove on first run at 1m4f (can pull hard). |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
No sign at all of age wearying him during the winter, having won over C&D in November, and he returned from a break as fresh as paint with a 7f win at Southwell last month; back up 4lb; one of a few to consider. |
8/1 |

1st 4 (11) |

13yo whose most recent success came at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in November and he ran well when runner-up there when last seen 157 days ago; contender if ready to go on his return. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All of his four turf wins have been on good or slower including heavy; his last win was at Bath (5.6f) last September but he's finished down the field there in his last three runs; now drops back in grade but he needs to rediscover his spark; regular hood is removed. |
25/1 |

7th 7 (5) |
27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
8st 5lb |
Ties in with a couple of today's rivals on C&D reappearance form but ideally needs a return to further; yet to score over a bare 5f; gained his Bath win over the extended 5f. |
10/1 |

7th 10 (2) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |

Won three times in the second half of 2025, including at this track (5.7f); looks high enough in the weights on his return from a five-month absence. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual AW winner but he's generally struggled this year and was beaten 10l at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) last month; continues to drop down the weights but he has plenty to prove and is 0-11 on turf. |
14/1 |
|
11th 14 (12) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

His last win was in October 2024 and he's been well held in most of his runs this year; on reduced mark but this looks tough back up in grade and others are preferred. |

C&D scorer didn't enjoy the best of runs when a solid fifth of ten in 6f Newcastle handicap 13 days ago; he merits serious consideration off a 1lb lower mark. |

Won twice at Wolverhampton in 2023 (6f/7f); mainly disappointing this year but well handicapped as a result (8lb lower than for only handicap win). |

9th 2 (11) |
19th Nov 2023 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

It's now 12 starts since her last win and she beat only two in C&D handicap 19 days ago on her first run since leaving Iain Jardine; needs to take a big step forward for her new yard. |

A dual 1m/1m2f turf scorer in the summer and not seen to best effect when tenth in 1m2f Chelmsford handicap nine days ago, helping set a strong pace; he can't be discounted off a 3lb lower mark. |
