Low-mileage son of Cracksman who landed 1m6f handicap here in December before doing really well to complete his hat-trick at Wolverhampton (2m) the following month when carried very wide on the home turn; big player after a break. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 208y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Better expected last time, after two poor efforts and back to the visor from cheekpieces, but ran below market expectations in finishing behind Merrijig; 2lb better off today but has work to do if he's to turn things round. |

C&D win last August came off an 8lb higher mark; the booking of Billy Loughnane will draw some in, back to the visor worn for his two AW victories, but two poor efforts on turf lately will need overlooking. |

Two 2m wins last year on good and faster ground; a return to hurdling stalled his progress and hasn't been at his best back on the Flat in his last two races, though 1m4f was on the short side after a break at Newbury; could stage a revival. |

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. |

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. |

Fourth in three starts off this mark since returning from wind surgery, including twice over C&D, the latest ten days ago (winner has gone in again since); should go well again but a bit more is needed for the win. |

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. |

A fairly useful 2m4f hurdles winner but he has yet to match that form in four runs on the Flat, coming in a never-dangerous fifth on his handicap debut at Wolverhampton (2m) 17 days ago; he may still do better. |

Defied a much higher mark over C&D in 2022; however, recent form is nowhere near that level and he finished behind two of these rivals here five weeks ago; losing sequence looks set to continue. |

Habitual slow-starter, fluffing the stalls badly in recent outings; showed three outings ago that plenty of ability remained and he's now 4lb below his last winning mark (last February) but there are clear risks. |

Habitual slow-starter who ran as well as could have been expected over C&D last time after fluffing the stalls completely; that was better on his second run back from a break and he's on his last winning mark, so he's a player if getting away fairly. |
