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. |

1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

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. |

Had a tongue-tie on for the first time when dead-heating at Chelmsford (6f) in October and he ran another solid race off this mark at Southwell (6f) next time; returns from a 160-day break and he could have more to offer on the AW. |

Below par at Sandown this month but a return to his May form, namely an AW success flanked by second-place finishes on turf, would put him in the picture. |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Back in good form off his reduced mark, winning easily at Southwell (5f) before nearly defying a penalty at Chepstow (good to firm; effective on softer); 3lb higher for this but well drawn and must have a shout for all that he's back up in grade; Seamus Cronin aboard for last three races. |

Has dropped a fair way down the weights over the last year or so, but looked back in prime form when scooting clear to win readily by 4l at Southwell (5f, AW) last week; also suited by good to firm turf and is 4lb ahead of the handicapper under his 5lb penalty. |

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 |

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. |

Beat his 17 rivals at Thirsk (6f, good) in April, his second run for David O'Meara, and there have been a couple of good second-place finishes since, including over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago; a bold show is on the cards. |

Won at Thirsk (6f, good) in April on second stable start and second of 20 at York (6f, good) in May, before respectable fifth of 14 at Thirsk (6f, good); uncharacteristically below par at York three weeks ago but not written off in view of his previous exploits. |

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 |

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. |
