27th Sep 2025 Yielding 0m 5f 0y |
9st 5lb |
His five wins have all been over this trip, including a premier handicap over C&D last year; below form over 6f here last time but is capable off this mark and is ground-versatile so looks a player. |

14th Sep 2025 Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
9st 0lb |
Highly progressive last year, winning four 5f handicaps and taking a big hike up the weights; yet to score this term but some encouraging signs, notably from York fourth on latest; reproduction would give him a chance of reversing previous form with Red Evolution and Sarahmae. |

20th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
He made giant strides as a 3yo, winning four 5f handicaps and soaring up the weights; both this season's efforts have been encouraging and this Irish raider shouldn't be passed over lightly. |

10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Four wins over 5f for Iain Jardine, but unplaced in three starts on the AW since returning for this yard in January; 8lb below last winning mark, but drying ground and return to 6f pose questions; cheekpieces return. |
12/1 |

7th 2 (12) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
A fair 5f scorer for Iain Jardine; shaped encouragingly for his new yard when fourth at Southwell (5f) in January but raced too freely over 6f when seventh at Wolverhampton since; can bounce back here. |
16/1 |

16th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Campaigned mostly over 5f; posted a resurgent effort at Southwell on stable/seasonal debut; successful twice off current mark, so holds possibilities provided he's as effective back at 6f. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
String of good runs in 2025, winning three times with the last of them coming in the Ayr Bronze Cup 248 days ago (6f, soft); 4lb higher mark to contend with and may come on for this return to action. |
7/2 |

19th Sep 2025 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb
|
Progressive since these cheekpieces went on, winning at Doncaster (5.5f, good) and Epsom (6f, good) and finishing a close third of 16 to Eternal Sunshine at Thirsk (6f, good) recently despite having to wait for a clear run; he's right at home on slow ground and could play a leading role. |
15/2 |

6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Thriving on racing this year, following a second of 22 at York by winning in clearcut style at Epsom (6f, good) three weeks later; a further 6lb rise demands another career best but that's not out of the question. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Promising reappearance after wind surgery when fourth at Newcastle (6f) but has taken two backward steps since; has his first run beyond sprint distances here and needs to bounce back after seven weeks off. |
9/1 |

8th 6 (2) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Promising reappearance after wind surgery when fourth of 14 over C&D in January but failed to build on that when only sixth of seven at Lingfield (6f) four weeks ago; bounce back needed. |
11/1 |

6th 5 (7) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Excelled as a 3yo but found the handicapper in command last year; promising reappearance at Newcastle six weeks ago (first run after wind surgery) and he is on a dangerous mark; widest stall to deal with but foolish to discount. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Beaten 19 times since his last win in September 2023 and good runs have been scarce over the last year and a bit; however, it's possible he'll improve for this month's reappearance outing and he's not discounted off a handy mark in a reapplied tongue-tie and first-time blinkers. |

3rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Gained last season's win over C&D (good); slightly disappointing in first-time blinkers (retained) on AW a week ago but now 2lb lower than when fourth of 17 behind Right And Exact at Thirsk (5f, good) two starts ago. |
8/1 |
|
4th 5 |
29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Useful 5f turf form in 2025 but his season slowed down later in the year and he's been below best, despite the reduced mark, this term; 0-3 on Newcastle AW but he did handle that Tapeta earlier in his career, so perhaps the switch to this track might pay off in first-time headgear. |
8/1 |

4th 9 (17) |

Second to Castan in a division of this race in 2025; led for a long way when fourth of eight at Musselburgh 17 days ago; 6lb below his last winning mark; has plenty in his favour. |

11th Mar 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Early promise for this yard but he's been struggling for form this winter; tackles 7f for the first time; stable may have stronger claims with Straight A. |

19th Feb 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Rated considerably higher this time 12 months ago but he's down in the weights as a result of some modest runs since March; returning to 6f not enough to tempt this time. |

9th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

Down to a career-low mark but he's been well held on Tapeta in last three starts and his last win was at Bath in August 2023; opposable. |

6th 2 (8) |
27th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Down to a career-low mark and wasn't beaten far at Newcastle three runs back when 4lb higher; however, lesser performances have followed at Southwell, where he's run well in the past. |
10/1 |
|
14th 8 (14) |
25th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Won twice as a 2yo for Ed Dunlop; 0-11 for current stable and he's been well short of his best so far this year; drawn widest on a rare 6f run. |
25/1 |
