18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
In fine form at 6f on the AW of late, winning at Southwell and Newcastle; has a better strike-rate on sand than turf (1-17) but he was running to a similar level on grass as AW in 2025 and it may be unwise to presume he's a one-surface wonder; respected. |

1st 5 (8) |
1st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Good efforts in all three 6f runs this year, placed behind the prolific Yorkshire Glory twice and readily seeing off five rivals at Southwell eight days ago; 1lb well in under a penalty; should go well. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Plenty of short-priced defeats to go with four AW wins (three here over 7f) in recent times for James Owen, from whom he was picked up for 5,000gns recently; fine on turf and has a handy draw. |
8/1 |

14th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
In fine form in 2026, bagging a quickfire C&D hat-trick in March; ran another good race dropped to 6f here when third of 12 last time, bumped start; a player once more back at his ideal trip. |
5/2 |

25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |

Won three over 7f here of late and looked a bit unlucky not to make it four last Friday, when having Way To Dubai just behind; the drop to 6f shouldn't hurt and his claims are obvious off the same mark. |

Has a good record here and, after winning over 6f at Wolverhampton, it was a Class 4 in which she failed to fire here four weeks ago; has only won at 6f, however; tries blinkers (replacing visor). |

Close third at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) in June and bounced back from a lesser effort when just nabbed in a first-time visor over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago; might not be the easiest to win with but still commands respect. |

Recorded sole success over 6f; not particularly solid on his sprint form for new yard but shapes as if this return to 7f is possibly worth exploring; may raise his game. |

28th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
0-6 and needs to produce a lot more than she's managed the last twice; however, perhaps soft ground didn't suit at Carlisle most recently and she's posted some strong finishes over 6f, suggesting this first crack at 1m is worth a go; this 3yo is not a forlorn hope. |
8/1 |

17th Jun 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |

Five-race maiden who has shown bits of promise over 6f on turfAW; failed to beat a rival, albeit in higher grade, most recently; penultimate effort suggests this return to 7f is worth exploring. |

Didn't hit the target immediately once handicapping, but did it nicely at Salisbury (7f, good) six days ago; probably still has more to offer and a major player despite the penalty. |

1st 5 (2) |

Three quick runs last summer before being gelded and put away; came clear with the winner when edged out at Pontefract (6f, soft) and appeared to be crying out for today's trip when done for toe at Newcastle; 3lb higher for this but thereabouts. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Didn't get the breaks at Beverley (5f, good to firm) on penultimate start, but she pounced late to continue her consistent spell at Redcar (6f, good; from 3lb lower) subsequently, justifying favouritism; is well drawn in stall 12, so should have a positive role to play. |
9/2 |

1st 1 (9) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Scored at Wetherby (5.5, good to firm) last month and did well to finish fifth at Beverley (5f, good to firm) on Tuesday, having encountered all sorts of traffic; will be suited by this return to 6f; likely contender. |
3/1 |

12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Proved resurgent with neck success at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) most recently and remains competitively treated on peak form, which features a C&D win; likely player from the inside draw. |

4th Jun 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Soundly beaten on all seven starts but there was a hint of promise when upped to 1m at Doncaster (good to firm) last time, when he was denied a clear run and kept on nicely; perhaps this further step up in trip will help unlock some of the potential in his useful pedigree. |
