7th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Successful over 7f at Thirsk (heavy) and Catterick (good to soft) this term; good third off this mark in 1m AW contest most recently; solid contender back on turf. |
6/1 |

3rd 5 (1) |
3rd Sep 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Two wins on turf this year, at Thirsk (7f, heavy) in April and at Catterick (7f, good to soft) in June; ran well when third of eight in his only previous AW start at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) in August last year, but still to fully convince over this far. |

5th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Improved form since being gelded and he made it 2-4 this season when justifying favouritism at Catterick (7f, good to soft) 17 days ago; that was a last-gasp success but he reeled in a progressive rival and a 4lb rise looks fair enough; respected. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
His six successes include four last season; retains all his ability but he's still above his last winning mark and he was only eighth at York last Saturday. |

8th 8 (18) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Started 2025 with three wins; wasn't as forward for this year's reappearance but quickly back on form when second (Kats Bob fourth) of nine at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago. |

2nd 4 (8) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Started 2025 with three wins but didn't seem as forward for this year's reappearance, never threatening at Ripon 16 days ago; he'll need to have come on a bit but is nicely handicapped again if staging a revival. |

27th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
On a 16-race losing run but down the weights as a result and he was on the heels of the winner when third of 12 at Thirsk (7f) 11 days ago; having his first race here; thereabouts if he takes to it. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 14 (3) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 8lb |
On a 15-race losing run but he's well handicapped as a result and his stable is in fine form; almost certainly needed the run when seventh of 13 over C&D four weeks ago, fading; likely to build on that and more persuasive than most. |
12/1 |
|
7th 11 (3) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Failed to win in 2025 but he ran some solid races in defeat and he makes his seasonal return off a dangerous mark; interesting to see how he fares in the betting. |

13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Won a division of this off 9lb lower in 2025 when it was run as a 0-85, and raised his highest mark defied twice more after; holding his own in Polytrack Class 2s of late, but has more back in his favour tonight. |
7/2 |

3rd 4 (6) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Has registered all wins over 7f and in lower grades; however, ran respectably in Lingfield Class 2 most recently, while shaping as if this return to 1m is worth a go; whether he can defy current mark is another matter. |
12/1 |
|
4th 3 (5) |
14th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Into the veteran stage but in the form of his life this winter, finishing third over C&D before a Wolverhampton win and a Southwell second; likely vulnerable to an improver but should give his running again. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time course winner, the latest when scoring comfortably over 5f last month; easy wins in successive days in early September (good to firm and heavy); now 24lb higher than when starting his winning spree and he will require another career best to overcome latest 11lb rise; certainly can't be ignored though. |

9st 9lb |
Made it 3-3 since the blinkers were added when comfortably accounting for his two rivals over Brighton's extended 5f yesterday (good to firm); carries a double penalty here but he's fine on slow ground and couldn't be in better form. |

4th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Placed twice over about 1m on turf since winning readily by 3l over C&D in April and has good claims if judged on those exploits but blotted his copybook when refusing to race at Chepstow in August. |
14/1 |

25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Wins have all come in April but there was nothing wrong with his Doncaster second off 2lb lower a month ago, when clear with a subsequent winner; not always been the most consistent, though, and would have preferred some rain. |
6/1 |

24th Jul 2025 Soft 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins for Harriet Bethell in April last year, over 1m at Newcastle and over 7f on soft here (won by 4l); has changed yards twice since (bought for 2,000gns in October); won again at Wolverhampton in April (7f) but hasn't done quite as well since. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
He has won on fast turf (7f) but he is a better horse on AW; not at his best on his last two starts and now tries 1m for the first time on his 26th start. |

6th 5 (5) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Two-time C&D winner who went desperately close to making it three when pipped at the post by Flowstate (won twice since) last month; disappointed back here since but he's nicely handicapped if bouncing back to form in a first-time visor. |

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. |
