7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Developed into a very useful handicapper for Ray Craggs in 2024, including a C&D win on good to firm; failed to scale the same heights for David Thompson in 2025 but has a reduced mark to work with now back under the care of his owner. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
C&D winner off this mark last summer and better than the result (met trouble) when fifth to Sir Busker in this 12 months ago; shaped as if retaining all his ability when sixth on C&D return in June and there have been excuses for two lesser runs since, with Thirsk fifth last time coming over a 7f trip which is likely a little on the short side for him nowadays; no shock were he to go well. |

Has faced a few difficult tasks this summer and he proved resurgent when back down in grade at York (1m2f) last time; remains on same mark as when winning a spring event; beaten twice (fifth in 2024, down the field last year) in this race, however. |

18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
One-time useful AW handicapper but 0-8 over hurdles, though he went close at this level a couple of times over the summer; appeared to stay this sort of trip when a 5l third of ten at Downpatrick last time and looks sure to be involved. |
2/1 |

3rd 6 |
31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 180y |

Not the force of old (one-time useful AW handicapper) but runner-up in modest maiden hurdle company three times in Britain this summer; well beaten back in handicap company at Galway earlier this month but okay fourth of eight in a Tramore maiden hurdle last time (2m1f, good to yielding); place chance. |

Not the force of old (one-time useful AW handicapper) but runner-up in modest maiden hurdle company in Britain this summer at Stratford (twice) and after making most (carrying head awkwardly, hung right) at Worcester (2m, good); no show on handicap debut at Galway and back into maiden company probably with a bit to find. |

Had gone badly off the boil but back in a Class 4 he came from behind to score narrowly at Chester (extended 1m2f); if he's turned a corner then likely to have some say off 3lb higher. |

Won in a first-time visor over hurdles in July (2m, good) on second stable start and he followed up in a small field on the Flat at Newmarket (2m, good to firm) last month; he's run well on soft ground over hurdles and may have more to offer in the headgear; chance. |

Form for new yard comprises a staying-on third at York (1m4f; first Flat start since 2024) and career-best success, with visor applied, in notable 2m handicap hurdle at Market Rasen; may have more to offer in the retained headgear; respected. |

15th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |

8/1 |

7th 4 (2) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 4 |

Well handicapped on even last year's best form for Ed Dunlop; 25-1 and shaped with more promise than the distance beaten suggests at Goodwood (1m4f, good to soft) in June; back to a more suitable trip today and he's an intriguing contender. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |

6th 1 (3) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 3 |

9st 4lb |
Placed twice in a row in Bahrain earlier this year and didn't run badly when fifth of seven at Windsor in June following a three-month break; could build on that latest run and continues to drop down the weights, but he's without a win since July 2023 and others are more compelling. |
40/1 |

30th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
10st 4lb |
Well treated on old form but his last win was almost two years ago; two placed efforts in Bahrain (1m1f/1m2f) earlier this year but he returned to Britain with a heavy defeat at Kempton in March; now drops back in grade but he's hard to predict and comes with risks attached after a break. |
16/1 |

29th Mar 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Made most when second in this race last year off 11lb higher, the last of only three ventures on AW; that has to catch the eye and he also has a chance on turf form for Charlie Johnston as recent as September; fit from placed efforts in Bahrain for new yard this year and a case can be made. |

28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 2 |

Increasing tendency to blow the start last season culminated in a refusal to race on final appearance; that was at Newbury, where he'd previously been at his best; he's contrastingly 0-6 on AW and none of his form in this sphere lives up to today's mark; probably best watched. |

Had been spiralling down the weights and took advantage of a basement mark to win unchallenged at Ffos Las (1m, good) in August; followed up under a penalty back there (7.5f, good) and was beaten a short head off his revised mark at Bath (1m, good to soft) last month; clearly thriving at present and must come into calculations. |

Once useful but went into the doldrums for a while; back on it now though after back-to-back wins at Ffos Las, winning by 12l and then following up under a penalty when 5lb well in; that was by a shade over 2l but cosily; new mark has kicked in. |
