27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
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. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
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. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
His last win came over C&D last July (good; off 1lb higher) and he stayed on for a close third at Hamilton (5f, good) a fortnight ago; could build on that latest performance now back up in trip; firmly in calculations. |
10/1 |

3rd 10 (12) |
17th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
May have needed his recent comeback from six months off at his age (cracked late on having raced prominently from a low stall over 6f round Chester); 2lb below his last successful mark and has won here before but David Allan has opted for Vince L'Amour. |
12/1 |

8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
On a competitive mark with a handy inside draw but he is returning from a seven month absence and his connections are also represented by Miraculous. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Four-time turf winner who won off today's mark at Newcastle (5f, AW) in February; however, he's finished down the field on his last four starts and a major turnaround is necessary. |
12/1 |
|
11th 3 (13) |
3rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won three 5f AW handicaps through the winter but his last three efforts were nothing to shout about; capable on turf but needs to turn a corner. |
14/1 |
|
9th 10 (6) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
In good form for much of the winter, winning three 5f handicaps, but his form has cooled on his last two starts; others look stronger in this grade. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Close second at Newcastle (5f, AW) in February and likewise at Nottingham (5f, good) last month; however, soundly beaten on his three starts since and he needs to raise his game. |
12/1 |
|
13th 18 (7) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Close fourth in a division of this contest last year but up and down since and his last two runs have been poor; dangerously well handicapped but opposable on balance. |
33/1 |
|
8th 4 (2) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Nine-time winner who scored off 6lb higher at Catterick last May; has been up and down since then but he finished well to go close over C&D (good) on his penultimate run; has possibilities if he can recapture that form and it would be positive if rain arrives. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Too headstrong in a clear lead at Southwell (7f) last time, so did fairly well to be beaten only 2l in the end; gained last win off 10lb higher at Newcastle in August 2024; fighting chance provided he settles. |
10/1 |
|
4th 6 (6) |
23rd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Well treated on last year's high points and it wasn't a bad run from off the pace at Chelmsford 12 days ago, given how that race panned out (pulled hard/got behind/found trouble); the cheekpieces are worth persevering with. |
4/1 |
|
7th 13 (5) |
13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Well suited by York and went close there in June; inconsistent otherwise during a 2025 campaign that has been markedly less productive than 2024; cheekpieces refitted for the first time since 2022; opposed. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
1-34 on the AW, that win coming over 6f at Southwell in April 2021; rather out of sorts over 6f-1m this year and now tries 5f for the first time since May 2024. |
33/1 |
|
11th 11 (9) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Without a victory since 2023 and he has yet to make the frame in seven starts in 2026; hard to warm to. |
33/1 |
|
6th 9 (5) |
23rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Minor classified form at 1m, 7f and 6f this year and it's 13 months since he posed a serious threat in a handicap (over 7f at Southwell); up against it. |
