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. |

9st 10lb |
Signed off for 2025 with 1m win at Southwell; looked rusty after five months off when eighth of nine in 1m Pontefract handicap last month; took this prize in 2024 so not dismissed with usual cheekpieces refitted. |

Added another two 1m wins to his CV in 2025, including on AW when last seen in November; this 2lb higher mark shouldn't prove beyond him but his record fresh, allied to the absence of cheekpieces (worn on last seven starts), suggest this may not be his day. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 3 |

Ended 2025 in poor form but he built up a head of steam to take a late fourth on his recent Pontefract return (1m, good); now 4lb lower than his Haydock win (1m, good to firm) last August so weighted to be competitive. |

Lightly raced since 7f win in 2022; has dropped some pounds this year and he wasn't far off his best when losing out to an unexposed one at Carlisle (1m1f, soft) 15 days ago; back up 2lb but likely to go well again; the more juice in the ground the better. |

18 visits to Ayr have yielded nine wins, the latest last September; the return to Ayr could be the catalyst for a big run but he's struggled at Musselburgh and Thirsk this year and a major turnaround is needed from this 12yo. |

Sprung a 66-1 surprise in this on good to firm in 2022 (also fourth in 2024); added career win number 17, as an 11yo, at Ayr (1m, good to soft) last September but arrives with something to prove after finishing tailed off behind a couple of these on his Musselburgh reappearance. |
