8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has recorded the majority of his wins on Newcastle AW; below par over C&D ten days ago, failing to build on his Hamilton effort; still hasn't scored on turf since 2022. |
16/1 |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Handy sort who is 1-1 here and ran well returned to turf when beaten a short head and a neck into third of eight at Hamilton (1m, good) a fortnight ago; ground faster than good probably not ideal, though. |

Ended a long losing run at Newcastle (7f) in February but below par both runs since, sixth in 8.5f handicap at Wolverhampton last time; has a rare run on turf now. |

15th Oct 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
9lb lower than when beaten a head over C&D in February and last month's fourth of 14 back here (just behind Mr Heinz) was another good effort; just 1-21, but shortlist material on the pick of his form; blinkers return. |

12th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

9st 6lb |
Six of his seven wins have been on AW and yet to win beyond 8.5f; second of 11 at Pontefract (1m, good) ten days ago where he stayed on to suggest this longer trip should suit. |

2nd 3 (7) |
30th Apr 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |

Probably better on the AW but won on turf for David O'Meara in July 2021 (6f, good); good second over 1m at Newcastle two runs back and not beaten far when seventh of 13 at Thirsk last week (7f, good to firm). |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 87y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Won in a first-time visor (retained since) at Catterick (1m7f, soft) in January and easily made all at Sedgefield (2m1f, good to soft) next time; having gone up 9lb he was beaten 9l when third of 14 at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) last time but today's sharper track may help; could make bold bid. |
14/1 |

3rd 6 |
16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Two from two since visor went on, winning at Catterick (1m7f, soft) and Sedgefield (2m1f, good to soft; won by 13l); put up 9lb for last win but should be competitive again. |
100/30 |

4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
0-26 (0-9 over hurdles) prior to getting off the mark in a first-time visor at Catterick (1m7f, soft) a fortnight ago; came clear with the favourite and he's a strong candidate if the headgear maintains its effect. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Eight times an AW winner but he has run just three times on turf and offered little on each occasion; plenty to prove. |
33/1 |

8th 10 (6) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Hasn't troubled the judge since returning in December from a short break and finished well behind Spirit Of Bowland over C&D last time. |
33/1 |
|
9th 8 (5) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Last win away from Newcastle was in 2021; slow starts have been holding him back so both classified fourths over C&D this month can arguably be upgraded; chance rests largely on the start. |

1st 4 (9) |
14th Feb 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Latest three wins at 6f/7f in early 2023 but he confirmed he's perfectly effective over C&D when running well against a next-time winner in January (first-time visor); another sound effort back over 7f since; solid claims for in-form yard. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 7 (9) |
4th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Five wins here including two over this trip; one of his better recent efforts when second of 11 in a 0-50 classified event over 1m here (first-time visor) 12 days ago; could go well but a losing run of 21 tempers enthusiasm. |

Won this race in 2022 and finished second in it last year; much lower rated this time around and last month's third over C&D was more encouraging; should have a part to play. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Slow starter whose losing run goes back 17 races to March 2025; however, he went down by only a nose over C&D (good) last month and was caught too far back in a Class 2 at Ayr since; bold show likely with his sights lowered. |
6/1 |
|
9th 11 (11) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 26y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Slow starter whose losing run goes back 16 races to March 2025; however, he's been second on three of his last four starts, most recently at York (1m4f, good) last Saturday; slow ground is probably fine; each-way chance. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 5 (4) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Often a slow starter; couldn't get into it at Carlisle (1m3f, good to firm) a fortnight ago but runner-up twice in a row at Hamilton (1m5f/1m3f, good) before that; could be involved if today's race pans out favourably. |
