6f course winner last August, when 4lb higher; stays 7f; needs to be much better than on his three starts for this trainer in 2025. |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
All three wins at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta), though he has been placed three times from eight starts over this C&D; a losing run of 38 isn't ideal, though; blinkers return. |

All wins have come over 6f here, though he has gone close over this trip at Southwell; fair fourth of nine here (6f) a fortnight ago, but a record of 3-82 does suggest a degree of caution. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
This is only his third race on turf but he finished last and second last in the others; none of his 2025 or 2026 form reads well enough and his 0-33 overall record is probably the bottom line. |
66/1 |

21st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Poor maiden who's done most racing in sprints and not looked to see it out in a handful of starts over this trip; two poor efforts this spring leave him hard to recommend. |

8st 10lb |
C&D winner who was a close second at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) 19 days ago; remains feasibly treated off 2lb higher but almost all of her turf runs have been on good or quicker and this return to soft ground is a concern. |

Two 5f turf wins this year but she's fought a losing battle on the AW for a long time now (0-43); well drawn and back down in the weights so she isn't without hope. |

Seventeen wins to his name but he hasn't won on turf for nearly three years and isn't in much form of late; up against it if his current mark of 37 is any guide. |

13-race maiden who has struggled in his last six runs, including when pulled up on reappearance at Brighton (reported to have bled from the nose) in June; has lots to prove after another break and can only be watched. |
