1st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Didn't appear to be crying out for the return to 1m at Doncaster and weakened late on; this is his trip, over which he was twice runner-up at Wolverhampton in March; not handicapped out of it, either. |
4/1 |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Best form over 7f, including second-place finishes on Wolverhampton AW this year; faded into midfield, having raced freely, when joint-favourite for this contest 12 months ago; not crying out for return to 1m. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
An ideal type for this prize having ended last term with a C&D win, showing career-best form; that was on heavy but he seems versatile as regards ground; further progress is not out of the question; shortlisted. |
7/1 |

1st 11 (3) |
25th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Did well last autumn (including heavy-ground win) and back to form with a 1m Windsor success (good) in September; only a respectable fourth at Nottingham (good to soft) since, though. |

8th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |

Off the mark in impressive style in this race last year (heavy); returned to form with a Windsor win (1m, good) on latest start, which sees him back up 4lb today (10lb higher than 12 months ago) but on the shortlist. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Continues to edge down the weights and he's well treated on the pick of this winter's course form; however, he appears to have gone off the boil on his last few outings and needs to raise his game. |
8/1 |

6th 9 (5) |
11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
2lb lower than for his Newcastle win in December but his form has gone off the boil more recently; Billy Loughnane, who was aboard for the Newcastle win, is back on today so a revival wouldn't be a bolt from the blue. |
10/1 |

In good form over 7f/1m in mid-winter but below par on his last two outings and needs to bounce back. |

26th Sep 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Five-race maiden with three seconds, including from the front in handicaps at Ascot (7f, good) and York (1m, good to soft; six ran) on last two outings; improving but dictating the pace in this field should be more tricky. |
4/1 |

2nd 8 (8) |
8th Sep 2024 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Four races, best efforts when second in a novice at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) in June and a handicap at Ascot (7f, good; made most) on latest outing; boxed on well last time and worth another go at 1m (first attempt was debut); could still be capable of improvement, which is needed. |

Four wins for William Muir and Chris Grassick; winless for current yard last year and has dropped to a career-low mark on first run for 209 days; may be best watched this time. |

30th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has won four times from 7f-1m (AW/turf); runner-up at Doncaster (7f, good; first-time tongue-tie) in March off a mark 10lb higher than today but he's mostly struggled since; returns to 1m and drops in grade with the cheekpieces back on and tongue-tie removed. |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Has won four times from 7f-1m (AW/turf); runner-up at Doncaster (7f, good) in March off a 7lb higher mark when tongue tied first time but, with that equipment retained, he's mostly struggled since; needs a revival. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) at Lingfield (1m, AW) last month but not at the same level at Epsom (8.5f, good) and Kempton (7f, AW) since, and needs to get back on track. |

6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Added to a good record in the spring when winning off 2lb lower at Lingfield (1m) last month in first-time cheekpieces; a long way below that level on turf since and this trip is a bare minimum round here, especially from a wide stall. |
16/1 |

28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |

7f nursery winner here (good; has won on good to firm) in 2023; landed seventh AW win when scoring at Lingfield (1m; first-time cheekpieces, retained) a fortnight ago; has won off higher marks than this and must be considered on his return to turf. |
