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. |

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. |

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. |

7th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |

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. |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Eight-time AW winner but he's 1-21 on turf; placed a couple of times this season, including over C&D (good to firm) in April, but he's not easy to predict and was out the back at Doncaster last time; has another switch of headgear and he comes with risks attached. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

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. |

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. |

3rd 6 (5) |
14th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

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. |

4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
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 |

10th 6 (12) |
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. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Looked as good as ever when second of nine at Catterick (6f, good) on his reappearance in April but that hasn't been a springboard to better things; conditions no problem and he's on a manageable mark but this is a warm race in which to try to bounce back. |
25/1 |

7th 8 (8) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Very productive in the first half of 2025 but has subsequently been unable to add to his tally; admittedly ties in with a couple of today's opponents on C&D form three weeks ago (penultimate start). |
12/1 |
|
20th 19 (22) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Tends to lead and he made all to beat 18 rivals in this race (good to firm) 12 months ago; bubbling under this season, beaten off only late on at Doncaster last Friday; won't mind if rain softens the ground (used to be considered a mud-lover); should make a bold bid for a repeat success. |

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

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 |

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. |
