Ran poorly when favourite for a C&D handicap in May; in good form prior to that and a return to form would come as no surprise; high on the list. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |

Dead-heated in a 6f handicap at Chelmsford last October; three solid efforts have followed and he should appreciate returning to 6f; drying ground no problem and he's high on the list. |

Two solid placed efforts have followed his AW win (6f; dead-heated) at Chelmsford last October; still has relatively low mileage and a promising claimer has been booked; first 5f run since his 2yo days. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |

He has plenty of ability but he isn't the easiest to win with; not at his best in 6f handicaps on his last two starts; handles softer than good but others are more appealing for win purposes. |
10/1 |
|
8th 6 (3) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Yet to win a turf handicap and he was only ninth of 11 in this race last year; ran well when fifth of 17 at York over 5f last month but surprisingly found it happening too quickly over 6f at Brighton last Friday; others hold more interesting claims. |
11/1 |

7th 7 (9) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Back in form at York last time, despite being rather drawn away from the action in a race in which the leaders didn't stop; a while since he went beyond 5f but this may well be run to suit if he gets some luck once dropped in (as seems likely) from stall 9. |

Lost chance by blowing the start last time; prevailed narrowly off 1lb lower in Class 4 event over C&D (soft) in June but needs to prove he has the required quality at this better level. |
33/1 |
|
7th 3 (8) |
16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Inconsistent but he won at Goodwood (7f, soft) in June and wasn't beaten far when seventh of 17 at York (7f, good to firm) last time; his career-best performance came when winning easily over C&D (good) last June and he's an intriguing candidate back here; capable of playing a leading role. |
9/1 |

7th 14 (9) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
In fine form last spring, winning three times including over C&D; cheekpieces returned at Goodwood last month and he recorded a narrow soft-ground success; 2lb rise shouldn't handicap him out of things and faster ground should be beneficial. |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Losing run stands at 14; twice a runner-up at Kempton over the winter (6f) but he hasn't beaten many rivals in five starts since April; return to 5f, drop in class and latest change of headgear not enough to tempt. |
25/1 |

27th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Off the mark in 6f novice at Salisbury as 2yo but he's had some seriously poor results either side of wind surgery, failing to beat a rival on last four starts; visor replaces cheekpieces; hard to see the light. |

12th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |

Won 6f turf novice as 2yo; finished placed in three of first four AW starts for this yard but he's been through difficult times since the spring, including when back from wind surgery latest; now in cheekpieces; risky. |

10st 1lb |
Thirsk winner (6f, good; from 6lb lower) in April; various near misses since, including at Newmarket and York, and as recently as last week at Thirsk (beaten a head); high draw is helpful, the prospect of rain-softened ground less so; still rates a player. |

2nd 14 (8) |
28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Quick to make his mark for current yard when going in over C&D in April; largely in good form since and posted a solid fifth of nine in 6f Pontefract handicap 12 days ago; considered. |

Twice went close last month at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) then ran pretty well when seventh of 21 at York (6f, good to firm) most recently; this is less competitive than last time and he could be thereabouts. |

10st 3lb |
Bounced back to form when second of seven at Salisbury (7f, good) last month; 1lb rise for that still leaves him 1lb below his last winning mark and he ran well in his only previous attempt over this far; shortlisted. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 213y Class 4 |

Won off 2lb higher in Class 4 on AW last November; has failed to land a blow in Class 3 races since returned to turf but this drop back in grade may have a positive effect; fairly useful in this sphere as a 2yo. |

8th 12 (6) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Consistent filly who's been inclined to pull hard over 6f here the last twice; did well to get as close last Friday, given she fluffed the start and had to switch for a run, and has a chance of breaking her duck on turf (0-13; three-time winner on Tapeta). |

Won at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) in February on just her second start for this yard and defied a penalty over that C&D four days later; creditable effort when sharing third over this trip at Southwell (AW) in April and maybe the cheekpieces backfired when fifth at Wolverhampton one week ago; that equipment is now removed and she has form on turf, so she's not ruled out. |
