11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Good third over a mile here last month but he failed to back it up over that same distance 11 days ago; perhaps vulnerable once again. |

Record of 1-27 on AW but he gave it a good shot when third behind Aisling Oscar over C&D three weeks ago; on same mark here and he could be in the mix again. |

2nd 5 (3) |
31st Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
C&D winner as a 2yo and back to form when successful at Kempton (7f; solid form) in October; below that level twice since but better than the result when seventh of 12 over C&D latterly having been caught wide from the outside stall; has fared better with the draw this time and could be dangerous having dipped to only 1lb above the mark he defied at Kempton. |

22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Ran okay in a hot race over C&D last month and duly built on that when winning by a cosy neck 12 days ago (also C&D); major claims off 3lb higher; a positive showing from Waistcoat, who he beat last time, in the 6.40 would increase confidence. |

Good second over 6f here in April when rated 7lb higher; not come close to that level since, including over C&D 16 days ago; drops in class but with enough to prove. |

25th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Three of his five wins have come at this track; not at his best on turf the last twice but he's edging back down the weights and a better showing can't be ruled out. |

Five-time AW winner but made it 0-12 on turf when finishing last at Brighton, where he ran well to be third the time before; even if back on song, all his wins have come at a lower level than this. |

4th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Recorded the 18th win of his long career when leading late over C&D in February (for Myla Coppins); ran well behind a thriving rival at Lingfield next time but he failed to fire over C&D a fortnight ago (finished behind Coloane); he has bounced back from quiet runs before so can't be ruled out. |
6/1 |
|
8th 7 (7) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
18th success of his long career when getting the better of Antiquity (winner since and runs in the 6.00) over C&D last month; bumped into an in-form opponent at Lingfield two weeks ago (7f; blinkered first time); another 2lb rise is not ideal but he is likely to give his running. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well into the veteran stage but he retains plenty of enthusiasm and ran on well to beat a subsequent winner (Age Of Time third) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) three weeks ago, his 18th success; a 2lb rise not excessive but late in the day to be giving blinkers a go (has run well in new headgear before). |

7lb lower than for his Newbury win last summer; second of 11 at Lingfield (1m, AW) last month but that has been followed by two heavy defeats; comes with risks attached. |

8st 13lb |
Couple of 6f wins at Brighton last term; proved resurgent over C&D (good to soft) last week, going down by only a whisker; now 2lb lower and due to go back up 6lb in future; leading player. |

7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won twice here (6f) last year but on a downward trajectory since then; shaped okay here (fifth) on return from a 266-day absence in early September but his more recent AW efforts (6f-7f) have failed to offer further encouragement. |

9st 9lb |
Prominent racer; ran well for second at Epsom in July (6f, good to soft); less convincing in his three starts since, albeit latest run on heavy is easy to excuse; risky but not impossible that this first taste of a Class 5 handicap will prompt a revival. |

Made a bold bid when runner-up off a reduced mark at Epsom (6f, good to soft) last month but he failed to beat a rival in a big field at Windsor (behind Supreme King) last time; has something to prove again after that and his last win was over two years ago. |

10th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
His last win was 11 months ago but he's a reliable type who has been placed at Chester (7.6f, good) and Chelmsford (7f, AW) in last two runs; finished behind Finbar's Lad last time but he's 5lb better off with that rival and should go well again back on turf. |
