6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Gained all four wins over 7f+ and is yet to hit top gear this season but attracted stewards' attention when keeping on for sixth under tender handling over C&D (soft) last month and remains well handicapped; one to keep a close eye on in the betting. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Four-time winner, all over 7f-1m, but none since May 2024; has run well over C&D in the past and rain won't bother him; beaten favourite in Class 5 events on his last two starts and this is tougher. |
7/1 |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
His losing sequence goes back 16 races to May 2024 and his form has gone the wrong way; however, he's dropped to a dangerous mark and ran respectably when fifth of nine over 7f at Ayr a fortnight ago (11-8 favourite), when shaping as though the return to 6f may help; not ruled out. |

17th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Four-time AW winner in Britain; pleasing start for this yard when staying on third at Leopardstown (7f, good) in August and excuses following month when disappointing favourite at Fairyhouse (ground, too keen and not clear run); drops in grade for AW return, Keane booked. |

27th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Veteran who dipped into a seller for his latest win, at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) in July; current handicap mark is workable but his AW strike-rate is 0-13 and he needs to rebound from two down-the-field runs. |

24th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Better effort when a front-running fourth at Newcastle last week (1m); returning to 7f no problem but others appeal more for win purposes. |

15th Oct 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |

Winless since his 2yo days; went close off 4lb higher here in March (7f) but he hasn't matched it in six runs since; stamina not proven. |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Last two wins have come over 6f at Redcar and he returned to form when third over that C&D (good to firm) in May; well beaten in a big field at York since; first visit to Catterick. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Last two wins have come over 6f at Redcar and he returned to form when third over that C&D last month; however, this is warmer and he has been unplaced on all four of his starts at York. |

3rd 7 (10) |
25th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won the corresponding event 12 months ago off a 6lb higher mark; not come close to matching that form in seven runs since but this spring's two efforts have come over 5f and this will be more suitable; 2-2 at Redcar and a full revival could be imminent. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Handy sort who bounced back to form with easy wins over this trip at Musselburgh (soft) and Ayr (heavy) this month; only fourth of ten off this mark over C&D (good) ten days ago, but ground conditions today may be more to his liking and he is respected back down in grade. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Suddenly thriving again, racing up with the pace when winning over this trip at Musselburgh and Ayr this month; those successes came on soft/heavy ground but he has plenty of form on good to firm; more of a concern is a further 8lb rise to a career-high mark. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Hold-up performer who is thrown in on his 2025 form; yet to get going this time around but he wasn't beaten far at Carlisle 11 days ago and cheekpieces could give him a lift. |
7/1 |

9th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Hold-up performer who is thrown in on his 2025 form; yet to get going this time around, typically blowing the start, but it wouldn't be a bolt from the blue were he to bounce back in this company. |
8/1 |

9th 3 (6) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Not one to rely on but he hinted at a revival with fifth of nine over C&D 16 days ago; a three-time C&D scorer so can't be discounted off a reduced mark. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
A two-time 1m scorer at Newcastle last autumn; yet to hit top form this season though, only seventh of 14 back over 1m there last month; mark is slipping but he still needs to take a step forward. |
10/1 |

7th 5 (9) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
He hasn't been at his very best this year and a refusal to settle is becoming an issue; however, he was returning from a break at Doncaster three weeks ago and that run may have got the freshness out of him; impressive when winning two in a row over C&D last autumn and not written off. |
20/1 |

5th 12 (7) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Two clearcut wins at Newcastle (1m, AW) last autumn but he wasn't at his best on Tapeta during the winter; has scored over C&D in the past but he's never won a Class 4 and this is competitive on his return; others preferred. |
20/1 |
