Raced exclusively on AW; placed in four of his six starts, close second at Newcastle (1m) latest; holds a solid chance but some of these rivals have greater room for progress. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Not disgraced in the Victoria Cup last time but, generally speaking, is perhaps still on a difficult mark on turf; gained last three wins on Newcastle AW and has shown peak form there. |
12/1 |

8th 24 (25) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Registered last three wins on Newcastle AW and ran respectably there on finals day; came up well short in the Spring Cup returned to turf last time and remains on a difficult mark in this sphere; sole handicap success on grass was off 13lb lower. |

Kept busy on AW during the winter, winning over 7f at Newcastle and far from disgraced in a valuable 1m event there on Good Friday; however, his turf form is at a lower level and he'll do well to regain the winning thread. |

Narrowly beat Individualism when winning over C&D off 2lb lower in June (good to firm); excuses for two lesser runs since (soft ground; too free); contender. |
6/1 |
|
2 (9) |
10th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 100y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Soft ground provides an excuse for below-par effort last time; solid record (1333121) otherwise for current stable and gained the most recent success, at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm), in game fashion; remains of interest. |
6/1 |
|
9th 8 (12) |
24th Jul 2025 Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
In very good form since being upped to 1m2f, which continued when he won at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) last month; it's a long time since he ran well on slow ground but he's in the mix if the surface isn't an issue. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner who won twice in the second half of last year, the latest in a big field at Thirsk (7f, good) in September; went close on last month's reappearance at Newcastle (7f, AW) and he can make another bold bid. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 1 (4) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner who is a C&D winner and added another AW success at Southwell (7f) last July; ended 2025 with a good third back at Southwell (7f again) in October; formerly trained by Ann Duffield; claims if ready to roll after five months off. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 8 (5) |
30th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Front-runner who has won three times on the AW, the latest over C&D in July; scored at Thirsk (7f, good) last month, but needs to put a lacklustre effort at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) last month behind him, while an easy lead seems unlikely. |

17th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Found three races not run to suit his hold-up style in the summer and this mark is likely within range when he gets a decent pace to track; maybe that will happen today, under Silvestre De Sousa (11-46 for the yard), back from a short break. |
4/1 |

Won a Southwell novice (1m) last September and that was it for the season; hasn't threatened in either handicap this year, though wasn't beaten far at Newmarket last time (1m2f) when held up in a slowly run affair; has a handicap in him. |

29th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Made a winning debut as a 2yo but beaten on his next 23 starts; revitalised by a drop into Class 5 company though, winning 7f handicaps at Haydock and Doncaster (impressed in a good Topspeed figure); up 7lb for last time but still has some handicapping scope. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Has slipped to a career-low mark and well-backed fifth of 15 when returned to turf at Doncaster (1m2f) in March last time wasn't too bad; however, his record over that sort of trip is far more appealing than his two runs at 1m4f and his turf tally is 0-11. |
10/1 |
|
5th 3 (13) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Drawn a blank since AW debut success but was placed over this trip on turf (good/good to firm) off higher marks last season; hard to get too excited by this winter's AW efforts but it's possible an eight-week break could have had a reviving effect; one to note in the betting. |
10/1 |

10th 8 (10) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 4 |

7f Tapeta winner but has not won since that debut in 2023; was a close second on turf from a higher mark last season but needs to be much better than his latest AW effort. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Two wins last year, the latest at Pontefract (1m, good to firm) in September off 8lb higher than today; beaten about only 3l when ninth of 16 at York (1m, good) 46 days ago and now drops in grade on his return to AW. |
7/1 |
|
13 (15) |
7th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Two wins last year (including C&D) and he's 7lb below his last winning mark; there has been the odd bright moment this season and he was a close fourth of seven at Redcar a fortnight ago, but it's been a regressive campaign and it's hard to be confident regarding his claims. |
14/1 |
|
5 (6) |
23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Well handicapped now, lower than for last season's two wins (both 1m, good to firm), and notable that he was sent off favourite at Chester three weeks ago (extended 1m2f, good to firm); could not reward the support, again unable to pick up from off the pace, and he is risky, for all he has the ability if things set up favourably. |

7th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Runner-up twice in a row at Newcastle (7f/1m, AW) in March; not at his best in two turf starts this summer but his mark has eased 4lb as a result and his better AW record provides hope for a revival. |

8th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Runner-up twice in a row at Newcastle (7f/1m, AW) in March; handed tough assignment in Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot when back from a break (well beaten) but he's now just 1-17 on turf and others have more compelling credentials; wears a first-time tongue-tie. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Returned from two-month break with a win at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) last month and he went close at Thirsk (1m, good) on Saturday; this C&D winner has very solid claims off the same mark as four days ago. |
9/2 |

2nd 3 (9) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Yard won this or a division of it three times since 2016, including with this one in 2024; successful return to turf at Wetherby (1m, good to firm; second Rajapour was hampered) in April and didn't do much damage to his mark by going back up just 2lb; the stronger the pace the better; respected. |
11/2 |

1st 4 (10) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

He was winning for the fifth time when landing a 1m handicap at Southwell in December; not far short of that level in defeat on his next two starts; each-way shout if getting a good pace to aim at. |

1st Aug 2024 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 3 |

7f course winner who had dropped 6lb lower than when successful at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) last December when beaten less than a length into third of 11 at Ripon (1m, good to soft) 12 days ago; races off the same mark but this trip looks to be right on the limit of his stamina. |
