9st 1lb |
Won at Newmarket (1m, good) and Musselburgh (1m1f, good) in his first two starts after reappearing in April, but the handicapper has been in charge in three outings since; 2lb drop not enough to tempt. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Just three wins from his 47 starts, the latest back in June 2024; however, he was short-headed off this career-low mark at Hamilton (8.3f, good to firm) last Wednesday and could be in the mix once more; versatile ground-wise. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 4 (3) |
27th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Not a prolific winner but he is operating off a reduced mark and there were more encouraging signs dropped to a Class 5 at Thirsk 11 days ago; another 3lb lower today and minor money could be on the cards. |
5/1 |
|
6th 8 (4) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Not badly treated on his best form at about 1m but his losing run goes back nearly two years and he's dropped right out in both runs this year. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Right back to form under William Pyle on his last two starts, finishing second to Double Parked over C&D before winning over 1m2f here 18 days ago; handles good to firm and soft ground and should be thereabouts. |
11/2 |
|
1st 4 (6) |
16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
His last win was 14 months ago but he responded well to cheekpieces when going close off a reduced mark here (1m, good to firm) last month; kept on well in that race and he's respected off only 1lb higher on this step back up in trip. |
11/2 |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |

Slipped down the weights and he wasn't beaten far in a Class 4 at Windsor six weeks ago; tongue-tie worn there now left off and new cheekpieces are deployed; one to consider. |

9st 11lb |
1-23 in Britain, the win coming from 2lb higher at Nottingham (1m, good to firm) in May; recent efforts suggest he will need to step up in order to make an impact; first-time visor joins the cheekpieces. |
14/1 |
|
4 (8) |
28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Hasn't kicked on from a winning debut for this yard (1m; 1lb higher) and finished last on his previous AW start; others safer. |
10/1 |
|
4th 1 (2) |
16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Won at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm) on stable debut in May but diminishing returns in three runs since and was only eighth of ten at Haydock last month; now back on last winning mark but he needs to rediscover his spark back up in trip. |

29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won last summer's Carlisle Bell off this mark (1m, soft); ran well when fifth in the Spring Mile at Doncaster on his return before finding only his stablemate Milteye too strong at Ripon 13 days ago (1m, good to soft; Walsingham back in third); fully effective over C&D but he appears to have a preference for slower than good now and drying conditions aren't sure to suit. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 5 (4) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
The vast majority of his wins have come on slow ground but the going was good when he was second in this race last year; reappeared with promising fifth of 22 in the Spring Mile at Doncaster and could be in the mix. |
3/1 |
|
5th 21 (11) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Suited by ground softer than good; record of 11-52 on turf features a win off 2lb higher in the 2025 Carlisle Bell; respectable second to Prosperitas at Doncaster on last appearance; competitively weighted. |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 3 |
8st 8lb |
Front-running 11yo with seven course wins, the latest gained over 1m (good) last spring; creditable placed efforts on his last three starts (including C&D) and should give it another good shot, for all this is a higher grade than he's been contesting. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 9 (6) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
11yo who won three times last year, including this race (good to firm); this front-runner has been placed at Pontefract (1m, good) and Ripon (1m2f, good) on his last two starts; 3-5 at Ayr and he's on the shortlist. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 2 (7) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
14-time winner including seven times at Ripon; his last success was off 5lb higher last summer and he returned to form with a second at Pontefract (1m, good) last month; hasn't run over this far for a long time but he used to be effective at this trip and most of his wins have been in May-August. |

Three wins in a busy campaign this year, the latest at Pontefract (1m, good) last month; another solid effort when second of 13 in a Racing League handicap at Windsor (1m, good to firm) 11 days ago and although up another 3lb, still makes the shortlist. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
9yo who is winless since June 2024 and is nothing like the force of old; however, his recent 4l fourth of eight at Hamilton (8.3f, good) wasn't devoid of promise and he's another 3lb lower today; not ruled out each-way. |
16/1 |
|
4th 2 (7) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Useful C&D winner at his best, but this veteran is without a victory since June 2024 and has offered little in a pair of handicaps (around 1m) at Doncaster and Beverley this spring; cheekpieces are retried. |
10/1 |
|
8th 2 (12) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Useful miler in his prime but his last win was almost two years ago and he's been well held at Newcastle and Doncaster in last two starts; continues to drop down the weights but others are preferred. |

21st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Having tumbled down the weights he returned to form in a 1m1f handicap here last month, winning decisively; second over 1m2f at Ripon on Sunday, staying on at the finish; up in trip but likely to go well. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 8 (13) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Won for the first time since August 2023 off a much reduced mark in a weak contest at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) last month; not sure to back that up in this better contest off 4lb higher. |
11/2 |
|
1st 1 (5) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Triple turf winner (7f/1m) but his last success was in August 2023 and he's been out of sorts since returning in September from a lengthy absence; mark is tumbling but he needs a major revival. |
