11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
No problem with fast turf but he has a much better strike-rate on AW; midfield finish at Doncaster last month didn't suggest he is the answer here. |
33/1 |

7th 9 (12) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Both visits here came in the summer of 2024 and yielded a third followed by a win, both at 6f on good to firm; that was his last success on turf but he scored on AW three starts back and last month's return to grass from the widest stall at Chester can be ignored; not ruled out. |
18/1 |

12th 1 (15) |
8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
His last three wins have come on the AW at Newcastle but he is effective on turf and this mark shouldn't be beyond him; stall 15 is a severe hindrance though. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Ended losing run with an emphatic success at Wolverhampton (5f) six weeks ago and the runner-up has done his bit for the form since; still seeking a first turf win though and following up off 7lb higher won't be easy. |
7/2 |
|
1st 4 |
29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Four wins on Tapeta elsewhere, at 5f-7f, all in 2024; has been involved in several tight finishes since December, including for Oisin Murphy at Kempton (6f) in April, and while he's been on much the same mark throughout, he's worth another go over a bare 5f; thereabouts. |
4/1 |
|
12th 8 (12) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Yet to win in ten starts for current stable but he has been placed in seven of them, including back on turf at Wetherby 13 days ago (5.5f, good to firm); should run his race but this looks a tough race in which to end his losing streak. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
He needs to improve upon his last few showings and was held in fifth over C&D most recently; however, this two-time course winner is 6lb lower than when second at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) in March and is not written off. |
10/1 |
|
5th 7 (5) |
18th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
4lb lower than for his win at Newcastle (7f) last September; up and down in 2026 and others bring stronger claims. |
12/1 |
|
8th 4 (6) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
More productive on AW (5-17) than on turf (2-28) and was only run out of it inside the final furlong at Newcastle (7f Class 5; 9-1) in March; less effective since (0-2) but is slowly easing in the weights, and is perhaps best suited by 6f. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has won here but at his best at Newcastle where he has gained his last four wins; can ruin chance by starting slowly but is not firing on all cylinders at present anyway; best to wait until he returns to Newcastle. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 1 (2) |
15th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Better on the AW, but has a 15lb lower rating on turf; Newcastle winner in March; not disgraced on latest turf start at Beverley last month, but modest effort in a visor (on again) on Tapeta last time; a possible. |

Five wins include one on AW, over C&D in late 2024; beaten under a length three times on turf in 2025 and he wasn't far away in a recent C&D classified event after a short break; weights chance back in a handicap. |
10/1 |

3rd 7 (7) |
5th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple turf sprint and C&D winner; losing run stands at 18 starts and although he went close on turf at Redcar in November, he was below par in two AW starts since. |
16/1 |

18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Close second at Redcar last time; 0-15 this year and ran poorly in last four AW attempts but defied a 10lb higher mark at Southwell a year ago; very attractively handicapped and enters calculations. |

3yo who is in and out and was well beaten at Windsor last time; however, prior to that he was a close third at Nottingham (6f) and he's also effective on Tapeta; not written off. |

24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

9st 10lb |
Sole win from 20 starts came at Newmarket last summer; good second off reduced mark at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) in August but he's taken two backward steps since and has something to prove again; first-time cheekpieces replace visor. |

27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Knocking on the door with increasing vigour and went down by just half-a-length in a 0-80 here three weeks ago (7f); no issue with returning to further (has won over 8.6f) and a 2lb rise is justified; claims. |

Inconsistent and regressive this year but down the weights and he was third of 13 off this mark over C&D last month; would have been closer granted a clear run and can be involved if he's on another going day. |

1-1 at Windsor, thanks to a 6f handicap in 2024, and also scored at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) last June; overall strike-rate is 2-29 but usually thereabouts and each-way claims on this first start since leaving Ruth Carr. |
