30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Almost as good as ever at the age of seven and went down narrowly at Ripon (6f, good) earlier this month; hard to knock but this is a warm race and he faces some unexposed rivals. |

8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Began this year with two Newcastle wins (6f, Tapeta) but he was only eighth of ten there last month; has won over C&D but has a patchy profile and needs to step up again on this return to turf. |

13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Began the season with two C&D wins, the second an impressive one; only fourth at Wolverhampton last time but he was putting in good late work and that form has been well advertised since; another 4lb higher today but the return to Newcastle is in his favour. |

Hold-up sprinter; just one win to his name since May 2022; shaped with some promise at Haydock three weeks ago (after a break) and he's on a fair mark; effective at the track. |

Below par on both runs this term but didn't perform badly at Hamilton in May last time on good going that may not have been ideal; now 2lb lower than when winning at Wetherby (soft) last year and the more rain the better. |

17th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Went close over C&D last month and was a fair fourth at Southwell (first-time cheekpieces) last time; hard to rule out a good run with visor now tried but he's not easy to predict and losing run is mounting up. |

4th 8 (3) |
7th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
Patchy form since winning off 6lb higher at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) last May and has a bit to find with Many A Star and Ormolulu on last month's C&D running; application of cheekpieces needs to make a difference. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
He has a much better strike-rate on AW than turf and was well beaten over C&D last time; however, prior to that he was second of six at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) and is not written off today. |

5th 5 (5) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Eight AW wins but just one on turf, at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) last May; no match for well-treated reviver there 18 days ago but he saw the race out nicely to take a late second; can play a part. |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |

26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Last eight starts in classifieds and he didn't always get the breaks when third over C&D 12 days ago; that was one of his better recent efforts and he's firmly in calculations. |

14th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Regressive 8yo; running respectably at this level in 2026 but 2l behind Woodrafff at Newcastle last week; never threatened over 1m2f on Thursday; easy enough to look elsewhere. |

12th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Spent most of a long career racing at shy of 1m and didn't look to see it out in one try over this far (C&D); not as good now and can miss the break and/or pull hard, so comes with risks attached. |

9st 5lb |
Won at 6f and over C&D for James Owen at the start of the year, then over 1m here on yard debut in March, but his last three runs have been nothing like as good; has plenty to prove back at 7f. |
25/1 |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

Enjoyed a revival for James Owen and this yard earlier in the year, with three wins, including two round here; up in the weights now, though, and finished well behind a couple of these over C&D a month ago; needs more from somewhere. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Enthusiastic front-runner who shone for Ruth Carr in 2025, winning five 6f handicaps (including a defeat of Jonny Concrete here on good to firm); creditable in-frame efforts on two of three starts this year without necessarily suggesting he's ready to strike again. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Enthusiastic front-runner who shone for Ruth Carr in 2025, winning five 6f handicaps (including here on good to firm); encouraging seasonal return at Catterick (6f, good) last month and likely remains in better form than his subsequent Ripon ninth might suggest as he was second home on his side. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

23rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

13th Feb 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Three turf wins for Charles Hills and feasibly treated on last season's best; should come on for last month's stable debut here but he will need to leave that effort well behind. |
40/1 |
|
8th 3 (2) |
16th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Promise on AW for Charles Hills but his three wins have come on turf; doubt he's handicapped out of things for new yard (sold for 6,000gns in October) but he'll need to be at his best back from 173 days off. |
12/1 |
|
7th 4 (3) |
27th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Has missed two chunks of his career but returned from the latest one in good form, finding plenty to win going away at Newbury before just losing out there in June (both at 6f on good; has won on soft); solid chance under Kieran Shoemark, who is 2-3 on him. |
