30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
4-8 at Wolverhampton and never ideally positioned in a slowly run race here 17 days ago; never ruled out around here. |

13th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Newcastle run and he had bumped into a progressive one at Southwell beforehand; this C&D winner has the assistance of Billy Loughnane in the saddle today; contender. |

6th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |

Had a good spell in late 2025, winning three Tapeta handicaps at around this trip; good second to a well-handicapped opponent at Southwell last week; one to take seriously. |

20th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Blows hot and cold but he is 2lb lower than for his last win (8.6f here in June) and fully effective over C&D; not solid but couldn't discount with confidence. |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
0-10 here but scored at Wolverhampton (1m4f, Tapeta) in February; campaigned over shorter since March and won again at that venue (8.5f) in June; case to be made now he's back on that winning mark. |

Retains a fair chunk of ability aged nine but all of his 2025 AW form is at Wolverhampton, winning twice; not sure quite what to expect back elsewhere. |

3rd Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Good C&D record since joining this yard and ran well at Lingfield on Good Friday off this mark on his most recent AW outing; fair run off his lower turf mark at Doncaster four weeks ago; could yet rate higher on this surface. |
5/1 |

6th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Recorded his eighth AW win when completing a double at Newcastle (1m) in March; came up short at Lingfield last time but that was another good effort in a valuable handicap on Good Friday; now returns to turf but he's still lightly raced in this sphere and is 11lb lower than last time; not ruled out. |

27th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Dipped into Class 5 company at Newcastle in March and won comfortably (extended 1m4f); two disappointing runs have followed and he now has a point to prove; has run well in two course visits, at least. |

1st May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Won for blinkers first being fitted and did so again for them going back on over C&D two months ago; lacked consistency in recent times and there's not much wiggle room off this mark but he's capable if on a going day. |

C&D winner; 5lb lower than for his last success; ran a solid race on this month's return to turf at Windsor; one to consider. |

7th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Bagged a pair of 1m handicaps at Chepstow and Sandown last summer; failed to fire on the AW over the winter but yard is going well so he could bounce back returned to turf after a break. |

26th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |

Course winner (8.6f) who has dropped 2lb below his last winning mark, but his four efforts since returning to the AW in Sepember leave plenty to be desired. |

11th May 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

Three-time C&D winner who's getting on and been on the downgrade since missing a year; found his level again lately but is some way down the pecking order. |
16/1 |

5th 2 (7) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Used to stay this sort of trip; very low-key start for this yard but has gradually found his level and was blinkered when third in 9.5f course selling handicap ten days ago; cheekpieces, previously worn without success, are refitted. |
10/1 |

3rd 4 (2) |
31st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

Won three over C&D and once on turf when trained by Mark Rimell; has not been in the same form since and blinkers now replace cheekpieces; down to a career-low mark but doesn't look ready to take advantage. |

9st 10lb |
All five wins have been at this track (9.4f) but losing spell goes back to April 2022 and he's been quiet in his three runs this winter; mark continues to fall but he's 0-8 at this trip and others are more convincing. |

25th Mar 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Pleasing return from over eight months off in February; no issue with dropping back to 1m 19 days ago but proved disappointing; rather watch. |

6th 4 (1) |
6th Mar 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Last win gained in C&D Class 4 two years ago; most recently runner-up in 1m2f Class 6 here off 249-day absence (beaten by Rock Armour who runs in the 5.30); player if backing that up. |
5/1 |

2nd 9 (12) |
14th Feb 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

His last win was in April 2023 and he generally struggled in eight runs last year; has dropped a long way in the weights but he has lots to prove after 249 days off. |

18th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Soundly beaten in three low-grade handicap hurdles for Ben Pauling in early part of last year and has a lot to prove in this sphere but came good for David Evans with narrow 1m4f Flat win (RPR 66) last month and is evidently in good nick. |

7th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |

Finally off the mark in an apprentice handicap over a bit further on slower ground 11 days ago; has no penalty for that (will be 3lb higher from tomorrow) and enters calculations. |

0-13 but he's still relatively unexposed as a sprinter and he wasn't beaten far into third at Brighton ten days ago; one to consider. |

3rd 4 (6) |
9th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
12-race maiden with form figures of 5808756 for his new yard since December; has dropped a long way in the weights but slow starts have been an issue at times and he was never involved at Salisbury two weeks ago; others are more convincing. |
9/1 |

24th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Started handicap life on an unrealistic mark for Richard Hannon last year but is competitive now and shaped nicely again last time; it remains to be seen whether he has the toe for 5f but he's a keen-goer and one of the more interesting runners. |
