3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Both wins came over 6f on soft ground in 2024 but he's mostly struggled since the latest of them; off for 134 days and he's best watched. |

20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Produced one of his better efforts in last C&D attempt but is by no means sure to reproduce it, being far from consistent; yet to win on AW. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Snapped a string of lacklustre efforts when a much-improved third at Southwell (5f AW; 100-1); RPRs illustrate this is his optimum trip but whether he can replicate that latest effort back on turf is questionable. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Pushed out under hands and heels to score at Musselburgh (5f, good; from 4lb lower) last month, but was no match for stablemate Marajito over C&D (good, 9-2) last week; remains in fine fettle though, and has a C&D win to her name, so she ought to be thereabouts. |

2nd 7 (2) |
28th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Made it two wins in last three starts when seeing off seven rivals at Musselburgh (5f, good) last Thursday; a 5lb penalty shouldn't prevent another bold bid in her current mood. |
7/2 |

1st 4 (3) |
21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Off the mark for the year with a determined effort in a Class 6 at Doncaster last month (5f, good to firm); not in the same form at Ayr 16 days ago but this C&D winner could rebound with a big run. |

On a long losing run and he comes here on the back of a below-par sixth of nine in 7f Redcar handicap 13 days ago; others appeal more. |

5th Nov 2024 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Two wins at up to 6f on slow ground; has a squeak based on his Hamilton second in September but he's been badly out of sorts on his last three starts; steps up in trip but he's half-brother to two winners over it, so he could see it out; one of two in this for his trainer. |

27th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Both wins on soft but has useful form on good to firm; has yet to race on this course but he's versatile track-wise and comes here in good form after finishing close up at Hamilton (5f, good) recently; thereabouts. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Suited by ground softer than good; five-time winner, most recently off current mark over C&D last August; ran respectably at Doncaster on reappearance; in the mix. |
7/1 |
|
5th 17 (13) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Has gone well fresh in the past, as when winning a division of this race in 2024 (soft ground); only 2lb higher than when winning at Hamilton last August (first run after wind surgery); failed to beat a rival in his two subsequent runs; unlikely to find it easy dominating in this field. |

12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Ties in with Glory Hyde on Wetherby reappearance running; has done all her winning in Class 6 but she's 2-3 over C&D and could go well from a good draw back here. |
8/1 |

3rd 8 (7) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Won two 5f handicaps at Beverley in the space of a week last July; went close off 1lb lower at Pontefract in October; ran well on last year's seasonal debut but just a suspicion others are better handicapped. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Five times a winner on turf and she lurks on a dangerous mark; ran well for second behind Eldeyaar over C&D on her reappearance last month (not the quickest away) and she did well when only fourth behind Run This Way at Redcar nine days ago having completely blown the start; should be involved if breaking on terms but that 'if' is substantial enough to prompt some caution. |
5/1 |

7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

C&D winner; had a few of today's rivals behind her when second of 17 at Thirsk 19 days ago, her first outing since November; promising apprentice takes off 7lb; shortlisted. |

2nd 7 (7) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

22nd Oct 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has always been happier on Tapeta than turf but he's handicapped accordingly (12lb higher than for his latest Ripon run); may well be on the downgrade and is some way down the pecking order. |
