13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
6f wins at Newcastle and Lingfield this winter; not at his best at Newcastle (5f; tried in a visor) last month and the return of his usual cheekpieces isn't enough to tempt. |

15th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
6f win here in November; back on the scoresheet when landing a 6f handicap at Lingfied four weeks ago; closely matched with a few of these on a C&D run on January 13; new headgear tried today. |

6f win at Newcastle off this mark in November; not beaten far over 5f back at Newcastle on Tuesday; ability to feature and Billy Loughnane a positive booking for the yard (four wins and five placed runners from 15 rides). |

3rd 10 (14) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Has had only one run over 5f and it was in this race in 2024 when he finished a well-beaten 2-1 favourite; quiet in a light campaign in 2025; others look stronger. |
25/1 |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
All four wins at 6f, including on heavy last October, but he hasn't been nailing it in just three runs this year and these will be tough conditions in which to prove stamina in first attempt at 7f. |

15th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Ended 2024 in top form but he has been restricted to just two runs so far in 2025 and not at his best on either occasion; the accessories return this afternoon and a revival could be forthcoming. |

27th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Resurgent 8yo who has won three of his last five starts including a game success at Catterick (6f, good) last Saturday; only 2lb higher back on AW and he's a big player again in hat-trick bid. |

9st 2lb |
August's Sandown win was over 5f but showed he's as effective over 6f when landing a Kempton apprentice event on Wednesday; escapes a penalty and Jack Dace also takes 5lb off so his claims are obvious from a handicapping perspective; yet to win back to back in his 56-race career, though. |

17th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well handicapped on his best form and is effective in the mud but he's still maiden after 14 starts and was disappointing at Lingfield (7f, good) in August; has something to prove again after a break and others are more convincing; tongue-tie back on. |

15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Three wins from 32 starts; unlucky not to go closer when fourth of 11 here over 6f last month but he failed to build on that when seventh here ten days ago; steps back up to 7f. |

7th 7 (9) |
5th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Losing run up to 19, but he has dropped a long way in the weights and met all sorts of trouble when fourth of 11 over C&D last time (Starsong second); withdrawn at the start on vet's advice in the race won by Good Earth here ten days ago; worth considering. |
4/1 |
|
10 (6) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
He has never been prolific but lurks on a dangerous mark and his latest unlucky-in-running fourth over C&D served notice he was ready to strike; high on the list. |

Holds weak claims on his form this winter for new yard; possibly found 5f too sharp last time but returning to 7f may not be the answer; 6f has looked his optimum trip. |

1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
First 7f win at Newmarket in May; just 1-22 on the AW but this surface suits and he was unlucky in his sole C&D run, when runner-up in September, and looks well worth another go back over this trip. |

All bar one of his seven wins has come over 6f, but he has finished runner-up in both goes over this trip including here; still 6lb above his last winning mark, though, so needs to find a bit more. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won two in a row over C&D last September (good to soft/soft) and returned to form with very close fourth at Southwell (6f, AW) in April on his second start of the season; slow ground would be a major boost to his claims. |
5/1 |
|
4th 3 (4) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Back-to-back wins at Hamilton last September (6f); regular cheekpieces were left off for return and he shaped as if needing the run; can build on that in refitted headgear here; last AW run (over C&D) was his best effort on an artificial surface. |
7/1 |
|
11th 7 (5) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Scored twice on a soft surface over 6f at Hamilton last September, but was weak in the market when failing in his hat-trick bid at Pontefract (6f, soft) the following month; may need this first start in six months and wouldn't want the ground to dry out too much. |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

His C&D win last October came off a 16lb higher mark so his ability for a race of this nature isn't in doubt; he hasn't been firing in recent starts though, including when well supported. |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |

Two 6f wins in 2024, both off a mark 14lb higher than today's; the odd promising sign this year and Hector Crouch replaces a 7lb claimer tonight. |
14/1 |

4th 1 (4) |
6th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
5yo who has a regressive profile but has dropped down the weights and took a step back in the right direction when sixth of 14 at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June last time; might not be far away. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Was running well at 6f and 7f here in the spring but he's never won on the AW and has seemingly gone off the boil a touch, having run a rare moderate race at Chepstow recently. |
20/1 |

7th 2 (5) |
21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dual C&D winner who was also beaten a nose off this mark in September on last visit here (7f); running respectably on AW earlier this year but below par returned to turf at Haydock last month; this is easier and he's never confidently ruled out at this track. |
12/1 |

8th 9 (8) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Knocking at the door over 6f and 7f on AW this year; won't mind getting back on turf and he should give it another good go from the front. |
