4th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
He has no problem with soft ground but hasn't scored since last May and there were diminishing returns in four starts for this yard earlier in the year; career-low mark, however, and maybe a 147-day break will have chalked his cue; watch the market. |
20/1 |

10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Four wins over 5f for Iain Jardine, but unplaced in three starts on the AW since returning for this yard in January; 8lb below last winning mark, but drying ground and return to 6f pose questions; cheekpieces return. |
12/1 |

7th 2 (12) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
A fair 5f scorer for Iain Jardine; shaped encouragingly for his new yard when fourth at Southwell (5f) in January but raced too freely over 6f when seventh at Wolverhampton since; can bounce back here. |

31st Jan 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
The veteran of the field but he arrives in top form, finding only the revitalised Mondammej too strong over C&D three weeks ago; not dismissed lightly off an unchanged mark. |

30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Hit hard for his easy Catterick win (6f, good to firm) in May and he has come up well short twice, including C&D latest; handles any ground but others look better treated. |
16/1 |
|
8th 2 (1) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Admirable 8yo who recorded his 11th win when surging clear on his reappearance at Catterick (6f, good to firm) under Tom Kiely-Marshall in May; not in the same form when last of five at Nottingham (6f again) since but he's bagged the inside stall on his first Beverley visit and is capable of bouncing back. |
14/1 |
|
5th 2 (2) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Admirable 8yo who recorded his 11th win when surging clear on his reappearance at Catterick (6f, good to firm) last month; has a 10lb rise to deal with but he still looks on a workable mark and his last four wins have come under Tom Kiely-Marshall; key player. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Posted a second-place finish in May but isn't particularly solid on the rest of his 2025 form; further drop in weights takes him to 10lb below last winning mark. |
16/1 |
|
6 (1) |
1st Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
10st 7lb |
Runner-up at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) in May but he has been below his best in five starts since; needs a return to form with the visor back on for the first time since 2021. |
7/1 |
|
10th 8 (12) |
21st Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Four-time C&D winner; runner-up here in May but not in anything like the same form since and needs to stage a revival. |
16/1 |
