Not the force of old and, although he retains some ability, others in this field have more pressing claims. |

12th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Multiple 5f winner down the years, including over C&D, but his powers appear to be on the wane; a couple of respectable efforts last month but more will be needed to win. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Solid strike-rate on AW but not so good on turf and latest sixth of 12 at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) will need improving on; nothing wrong with this mark, though. |
16/1 |
|
6th 7 (13) |
28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Enjoyed a hot spell in late 2025, winning three times (5f) either side of a close second over C&D; it has been tougher going this year and although Billy Loughnane's booking heightens interest, the draw could have been kinder. |
14/1 |

7th 9 (5) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Last five wins have been over 5f, the most recent at Wolverhampton (AW) in December; below his best in four starts since and now returns to turf for the first time since October 2024 following a 120-day break; best form on grass has been on soft/heavy. |

awkward start, towards rear, hung right and dropped to last over 1f out |

13th Apr 2024 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Record over C&D reads 133 and her latest third of six behind The Defiant here (first-time blinkers) was even better than it looked with the blindfold being removed late; down another 1lb but the draw hasn't been kind; no headgear today. |

28th May 2024 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Course winner who has been a wonderful servant to the yard but now on the decline; won off this mark on Lingfield AW (5f) last November, but well held in four starts since. |

Front-running teenager who won three times last year (once over C&D); not firing on all cylinders in recent months, though, and recent 2lb drop is not enough to tempt. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Can lead; has won at both sprint trips on this course; two good runs in classified events during February but below best at Wolverhampton last month and was beaten nearly out of sight back over 5f on turf last time; first-time visor replaces blinkers; others higher up the list. |
9/1 |

8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Three times a runner-up on AW this year; unplaced in five turf runs and he comes here with a point to prove. |

24th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

He has finished second in three of his last four starts and dropping back in to classified company is in his favour today; should go well. |

28th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Maiden whose handicap career hasn't borne much fruit as yet and never reached a challenging position over 6f on Chelmsford AW latest (first-time visor, retained); worth another go over further but unknown quantity at 1m. |
