16th May 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Ended his 2024 campaign with a hat-trick, scoring narrowly at Southwell (1m2f, AW) the final time and taking overall record to 4-11; this progressive sort is effective on turf and one to consider. |

1st 4 (1) |
19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Scored three times, including over C&D, in 2024; has built up a long losing sequence since but is an in-form contender, half-length second when favourite at Carlisle most recently; on an attractive mark and Jake Dickson takes off a bonus 7lb; possibilities. |

2nd 3 (9) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Not beaten far on his last three starts and it was a solid fifth of 14 in the 1m Carlisle Bell (first-time blinkers, retained) ten days ago; handicapped to be competitive again. |
5/1 |
|
5th 16 (10) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
All three wins came in 2024 over 1m2f (good/good to firm) but he was runner-up three times last season; fair effort at York last time and now has first-time blinkers replacing cheekpieces now trying 1m for the first time since his debut. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 177y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner who completed a hat-trick when seeing off 12 rivals at Thirsk (1m, good) four weeks ago; the runner-up franked the form with a good second at Epsom last week, while reopposing third Frankie's Dream has also run well since; the draw hasn't been kind given his run style but it's likely his mark is still workable. |
7/1 |
|
1st 9 (14) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
All three wins for this yard at about 1m2f on a wide range of surfaces, most recently when making a winning return to action at Haydock (made all, just hung on) in April; also effective at 1m but raised 4lb to a career-high mark; non-runner 2.55 York on Friday. |

17th Aug 2024 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Made a promising start at Haydock (1m, good) last September; has been unable to back that up but showed more positive signs again at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) latest; more is needed from her. |
8/1 |
|
4th 6 (2) |
25th Jul 2024 Good 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Close third on debut at Haydock (1m, good) last September; below that level on her three runs since and something to prove on handicap debut, but she could be on a handy mark if tapping back into that initial promise. |
9/1 |
|
4th 3 (4) |
24th Jun 2024 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
350,000gns yearling; promising when third of six on her Haydock debut (1m, good) last September, but didn't build on it in two subsequent starts including on this month's reappearance at the same track (7f, good); needs a resurgence. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |

Usually seen on the AW and just 2lb higher than when winning at Lingfield (7f) in December; placed just once in 11 starts on turf, though, so not hard to have reservations. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Five-time winner but recent C&D second of 14 is as good as anything he's produced, leading until the final 110yds; a 3lb nudge shouldn't prevent a prominent showing if in similar form. |
17/2 |
|
2nd 8 (4) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
This trip on fast ground suits and every chance with a repeat of his two runs at Ripon; took a backward step here two weeks ago but he has C&D form and could run well. |
8/1 |
|
7th 8 (3) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |

1m2f on fast ground suits and comes into the reckoning after two sound placed efforts at Ripon this season, beaten a head into second place last time; chance. |

3rd Oct 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
3yo who has an up-and-down profile and was tailed off at Southwell last time; however, he won at Kempton (1m4f) two starts ago and is also effective over this C&D; not discounted. |
11/2 |
|
12th 13 (9) |
29th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 3 |
8st 2lb |
The only 3yo in this field and made the most of a sliding mark when winning by a neck at Kempton (1m4f, Polytrack) this month; the fourth won here on Monday and he can't be dismissed easily from a 3lb higher mark. |
