1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Rated much higher when joining this yard in autumn 2024; remained consistent enough off a sliding mark during the winter but needs more if he's to snap the losing run. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 5 (5) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Both wins when trained by Hugo Palmer; now finding it difficult to get his head in front and has dropped to a career-low mark; may get in the firing line but doesn't appeal for win purposes. |
10/1 |

5th 3 (9) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
His last win was in September 2024 but that was off 19lb higher at Chester, and he ran well to finish third at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month; still lightly raced on turf and has possibilities if he handles the conditions back in this sphere (best form has been on soft ground). |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Came good for Jim Goldie at third attempt, in refitted cheekpieces at Hamilton last month, and bettered that form when close third in competitive race at York (also 1m1f, good) soon afterwards; not quite at same level over the extended 1m2f at York last time but still a major player here. |
2/1 |
|
6th 7 (12) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Only his third run for Jim Goldie when scoring at Hamilton (1m1f, good) and off a 2lb rise he was a closing third over 1m1f here (good) when not assisted by his track position; bang in form and should run well. |
15/8 |
|
3rd 15 (13) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 177y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Just his third run for Jim Goldie when taking advantage of his reduced mark at Hamilton (1m1f, good) nine days ago; only nudged up 2lb and remains well treated on old form (won last year's Spring Mile at Doncaster off 10lb higher); top of the list. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won a 6f handicap at Kempton in January and he has run several good races since, notably a narrow defeat back at Kempton two weeks ago; Billy Loughnane retains the ride; as this 5yo showed at Ascot in May, he's a strong contender back on fast turf. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 5 (8) |
2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner in January off a 1lb higher mark than today's and he's posted some good efforts since, including when fifth of 18 in a 0-80 at Ascot in May; beaten about 3l when sixth at Goodwood (7f, soft) 25 days ago and now drops in grade. |
6/1 |
|
6th 9 (6) |
7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 6lb |
Win here last August (6f) came off 2lb lower; several good runs this year, including in a big field at Ascot four weeks ago, but others look stronger for win purposes. |

15th Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Won two of his first four races, the handicap over Chester's extended 7f on good to soft; raced freely back there last month after a break and can improve on that form. |

1st 7 (4) |
12th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Made a pleasing start to his career when winning a Doncaster maiden (7f, good to soft; 7-2) in May, but only fourth under a penalty at Wetherby next time and has since bombed out (last of six) on fast ground at Newmarket (1m; on handicap debut); questions to answer. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 60y |
9st 4lb |
Over two years since latest of only two wins; second over 6f at the Curragh in October and ran well over 7.5f on return, but poor strike-rate overall; prefers it soft but handles good. |
10/1 |
|
4th 1 (2) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 94y |
10st 2lb |
Only two wins from 40 starts, but placed 16 times; last won at the Curragh (6f, heavy) in April 2024 off 3lb lower; generally below best last year apart from Listowel fourth and Currgah second in the autumn; has a preference for soft/heavy |

18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
8yo who capitalised on a reduced mark to win over C&D (good) last month before 7l second to easy winner in amateur jockeys' race at Pontefract (1m2f, good); he's not ruled out back here. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 1 (6) |
29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Prevailed narrowly at Ripon (1m2f, good) last time, recording first win since 2024; no spring chicken, being an 8yo, but he's technically still unexposed over this trip and remains well treated on historical data; should remain competitive. |
5/1 |
|
1st 4 (3) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
No win since August 2024, and he's yet to score beyond 7.5f, with a Flat record of 0-5 at 8.5f plus; this easing mark is helpful though, and he wasn't too far behind the reopposing King Of Fury at Carlisle (1m1f, soft; 6-1) ten days ago; stablemate of the veteran Poets Dawn. |

13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Won a division of this off 9lb lower in 2025 when it was run as a 0-85, and raised his highest mark defied twice more after; holding his own in Polytrack Class 2s of late, but has more back in his favour tonight. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 4 (6) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Has registered all wins over 7f and in lower grades; however, ran respectably in Lingfield Class 2 most recently, while shaping as if this return to 1m is worth a go; whether he can defy current mark is another matter. |
12/1 |
|
4th 3 (5) |
14th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Into the veteran stage but in the form of his life this winter, finishing third over C&D before a Wolverhampton win and a Southwell second; likely vulnerable to an improver but should give his running again. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |

In prime form in July, winning twice (7f/1m) at Ayr, but the wheels seem to have come off since and he beat only one home on the same course last time; others preferred. |

10th 2 (13) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Back in prime form in July, winning twice here (1m/7f), but two slightly disappointing efforts have followed and he probably needs to rebound with a career-best performance; effective on all ground. |
9/1 |

7th 4 (5) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Effective on fast and heavy ground; got back in the groove when winning twice at Ayr (1m/7f) in July but he was disappointing in hat-trick bid there last month; bit to prove again after that and he needs to bounce back near best. |
