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. |

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. |

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). |

8st 13lb |
Front-runner; 0-10 on turf but placed at Windsor (6f, good to firm) and here (5.7f, firm) on his last two starts; cheekpieces return after one run in blinkers. |

12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |

3-34 on the AW and 0-9 on turf; has been threatening a breakthrough on grass and looks sure to go well again from the front; blinkers replace usual cheekpieces. |

3rd 8 (10) |

Front-runner; arrives on the back of two second-place finishes over 5f on the AW; 0-8 on turf but is effective on good to firm; not sure to benefit from the return to 6f. |

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. |

25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

Veteran who is on a losing run but he was finishing his race off strongly when second over C&D last month; a 2lb rise doesn't handicap him out of things and he's on the shortlist. |

All seven wins have been here, including three over C&D; in the money twice here since his last win and holds place claims at least. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Frequent Wolverhampton winner who's 0-12 on turf, including in his Irish days (has 4lb lower mark than on the AW); very consistent, though, and should get the good pace he wants, so every chance he gets involved again. |

13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

6th Mar 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Ran his best race for this yard when third of ten at Wolverhampton on Monday (6f), leading in the straight but hanging sharply to his left and causing chaos in behind; stays this longer trip but he'll need to keep straighter to win. |
6/1 |

3rd 10 (3) |
4th Mar 2024 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

0-14 since successful at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) on his second start as a 2yo when trained by Kevin Ryan; first-time blinkers join the tongue-tie, but this looks an inadequate test for him now. |

Won off 6lb higher at Epsom (8.5f, good) last August but he's been out sorts since then and has been beaten 12l or more in his three runs for new yard; AW record now stands at 0-9 and he has a lot to prove. |

Hurdle winner in 2022 but he's raced only intermittently since and hasn't done nearly enough in two recent AW runs to lay claims today. |
