15th Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
5.5f course winner (firm) who arrives on the back of a revived 5f win at Chepstow (good to firm); up 3lb for that but has won several times from higher marks and has to be taken seriously. |
5/2 |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has eight wins on turf but losing run is mounting up; needs to rediscover his form. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Close third off this reduced mark at Brighton (6f, good to firm) last month and he can't be discounted; however, this 8yo has been inconsistent this season and was soundly beaten back at Brighton most recently. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has shown inconsistent form, mostly on AW, this year and ran below par over C&D in most recent turf attempt; far from sure to take advantage of a reduced mark. |
20/1 |

22nd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won off 9lb higher at Bath (5.6f) last August but he's been up and down since then and has been well held in last three starts; has plenty to prove again and he's not run over this trip since 2021. |
8/1 |

4th 1 (5) |
11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Should be making a big impact off this sort of mark but mixed record early in the year and well held, albeit after 164 days off, at Brighton five weeks ago; others look safer. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Not the force of old but he ran creditably when second to Alshimali over C&D ten weeks ago; wouldn't be sure to build on it. |
7/1 |

8th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual AW winner who is 1-19 on turf; now 10lb lower than for his Kempton win (6f, Polytrack) last March but he's been well held in last six runs and others are preferred; cheekpieces back on. |
20/1 |

18th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Completed a hat-trick in the spring of 2024 but he's drawn a blank since then and has been beaten 6l or more in his last five runs; opposable. |
33/1 |
|
11th 12 (2) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
The first four of his five wins were at Brighton but no success anywhere since May 2024; discouraging record from autumn 2024 onwards. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Solid strike-rate on AW but not so good on turf and latest sixth of 12 at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) will need improving on; nothing wrong with this mark, though. |
16/1 |
|
6th 7 (13) |
28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Enjoyed a hot spell in late 2025, winning three times (5f) either side of a close second over C&D; it has been tougher going this year and although Billy Loughnane's booking heightens interest, the draw could have been kinder. |
14/1 |
|
7th 9 (5) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Last five wins have been over 5f, the most recent at Wolverhampton (AW) in December; below his best in four starts since and now returns to turf for the first time since October 2024 following a 120-day break; best form on grass has been on soft/heavy. |
