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. |

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. |

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. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Most of his 14 races at York have been over 7f, including wins in this race in 2024 and another last June; absent since second on AW in January and that's the longest break he's had for two years, which asks a question, but he has to be considered off his last winning mark. |
16/1 |

2nd 7 (3) |
23rd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Easy to make a case on last year's peak form but signed off with two quiet runs and now back from three months off; not without hope if the break has done him good; has form here. |
14/1 |

11th 7 (7) |
25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Enters the equation on best 7f form this year but his latest run at York, where he often goes well, was a letdown; seems to handle heavy ground, having finished close up in his sole attempt on it, but it's not necessarily a plus and he has a shade to prove now. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
Nine wins on AW; scored at Bath on penultimate outing but is only 2-23 on turf and latest effort confirms that marks in the 80s are probably beyond him, at least nowadays, in this sphere. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 1 (4) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Has a better strike-rate on AW than turf but he's capable of useful 6f form on grass and made short work of his rivals at Bath (extended 5f, good) last week; now 6lb higher but this mark isn't beyond him on past exploits; would have welcomed rain but still considered. |
5/1 |

Nine-time AW winner who won three in a row during the winter and was a creditable fifth in Class 3 at Lingfield (6f, Polytrack) two weeks ago; record of 1-21 on turf but he's on a lower mark in this sphere and he had a close call at Windsor last autumn; dangerous. |

Back to his last winning mark and his first two runs in 2026 were respectable; eligible for weaker races than this and easy enough to look elsewhere. |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Scored at Ripon (6f) in a relatively light campaign in 2025 and back this year with solid fourth placings in handicaps at Newcastle (7f) and Chelmsford (6f); ought to be in the shake-up eased 1lb. |

10th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 100y Class 4 |

In very good form since being upped to 1m2f, which continued when he won at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) last month; it's a long time since he ran well on slow ground but he's in the mix if the surface isn't an issue. |

Now 11lb lower than when successful for David O'Meara last autumn but has lost his way; it's a long time since he won on turf and even longer since he ran in a sprint, so he is hard to fancy back from a break. |

Campaigned only over 7f-1m; justified favouritism at Newcastle (AW) on seasonal debut, registering a first win since joining current yard; back up 5lb but remains well treated on peak form and he's 2-3 at Pontefract; should remain competitive, provided he stays the new trip. |
