25th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Three of his five wins have come at this track; not at his best on turf the last twice but he's edging back down the weights and a better showing can't be ruled out. |

Five-time AW winner but made it 0-12 on turf when finishing last at Brighton, where he ran well to be third the time before; even if back on song, all his wins have come at a lower level than this. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
May have needed the run at Kempton 12 days ago but he ended up well beaten; he has a lower turf mark to exploit but is a better horse on AW; others look safer. |
16/1 |

10th 5 (1) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Has claims on his best form last year but he ended last season with a poor run at Leicester (7f, good) in October and his last win was 21 months ago; others preferred. |
25/1 |

14th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Capable but not particularly consistent; won four times last year, at 7f/1m, three on the AW, the other a 7f Newmarket handicap; sound run when fourth at Kempton last time (7f, standard to slow); capable of going well. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

All seven wins have been on AW; yet to hit form in two runs for this yard; cheekpieces return but best watched at present. |
16/1 |

8th 7 (10) |
7th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
A fairly useful 6f-1m AW winner at his best for Darryll Holland, but he failed to beat a rival on his yard debut in 7f Kempton handicap in November; needs to take a big step forward after a break. |
16/1 |
|
14th 3 (5) |
27th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
He has made good progress in the last 12 months, winning three AW handicaps in the second half of 2024 and taking another step forward when scrambling home at Southwell (7f) on his return in March; less good twice since and now drops to 5f for the first time; others perhaps better treated. |

10th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
His last win was 11 months ago but he's a reliable type who has been placed at Chester (7.6f, good) and Chelmsford (7f, AW) in last two runs; finished behind Finbar's Lad last time but he's 5lb better off with that rival and should go well again back on turf. |
11/2 |

3rd 1 (9) |
1st Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Ran respectably at Chester returned to turf last time; he's 0-8 this year but remains favourably treated, being 6lb below last winning mark; three-time C&D scorer. |
15/2 |

13th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 5 |

On a losing run but he arrives in decent nick, sixth of nine in 7f Chelmsford handicap 50 days ago; one to consider after a break. |

Over two years since the last of his seven wins; several good runs in 2025, including when keeping on for second over 1m four weeks ago; 1lb higher this evening but back at his optimum trip. |

27th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |

Retains plenty of vitality despite his advancing years; however, form dipped last time when bidding for a Chelmsford double; gained the most recent win in a lower grade. |
14/1 |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Triple C&D winner who took advantage of a reduced mark when coming from rear to score at Brighton (7f, good) in August; remains well treated on old form but his spark was missing at Kempton last time and he needs to step up again after that. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Drew a blank last year but came down the weights, won over 7f on AW in February and competitive over 1m in two recent outings; case can be made but others have a bit less to prove in this big-field scenario. |
16/1 |

3rd 8 (10) |
12th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Was back off the same mark as for his Chelmsford success (7f, Polytrack) in February when second of six at Bath (1m, firm) 13 days ago; back up 2lb but he can't be left out of calculations. |
7/1 |

2nd 2 (3) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Not at the top of his game on AW on his last three starts but he won off today's mark at Chelmsford (7f, AW) in February and his sole run here yielded a C&D win in May 2024; versatile ground-wise; not written off. |

19th Nov 2024 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Still below his winning C&D mark in March despite 6f Chelmsford success last month; should be all the better for the return to 6f after failing to find much over 7f last month but this looks tough. |

10st 11lb |
Won on Jersey and Chepstow (both 1m2f, good) under Brodie Hampson earlier in the year, but finished behind three of these at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) last month; needs to bounce back from that. |

Back on the mainland after game win under Brodie Hampson in Jersey (1m2f, good) in April; this race is almost certainly stronger but he's still on a workable mark and probably won't be far away; cheekpieces refitted. |

2nd Oct 2024 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Placed twice over 1m since joining Gemma Tutty in the spring and probably wasn't suited by the drop to 7f when sixth in Class 4 handicap on latest outing; eased significantly in grade for this first venture beyond 1m and ought to pose a significant threat. |
