30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Four wins here (three over this trip) and has dropped 2lb below his last winning mark; defied a five-month absence as a 3yo, but his reappearance efforts in the meantime suggest this first start in seven months may be needed. |

Has defied current mark three times, including in this race 12 months ago, and Jack Callan removes a bonus 5lb today; close second at Brighton (7f) latest start; respected. |

5th 1 (5) |
4th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Recorded the 18th win of his long career when leading late over C&D in February (for Myla Coppins); ran well behind a thriving rival at Lingfield next time but he failed to fire over C&D a fortnight ago (finished behind Coloane); he has bounced back from quiet runs before so can't be ruled out. |
6/1 |
|
8th 7 (7) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
18th success of his long career when getting the better of Antiquity (winner since and runs in the 6.00) over C&D last month; bumped into an in-form opponent at Lingfield two weeks ago (7f; blinkered first time); another 2lb rise is not ideal but he is likely to give his running. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well into the veteran stage but he retains plenty of enthusiasm and ran on well to beat a subsequent winner (Age Of Time third) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) three weeks ago, his 18th success; a 2lb rise not excessive but late in the day to be giving blinkers a go (has run well in new headgear before). |

8th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Four-time winner, split between turf and AW; last success was off 2lb higher at Salisbury (1m) last August but he's been out of sorts in last three runs and needs a major revival; reapplied cheekpieces replace a visor. |
10/1 |

31st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Ran well at Bath in June but has lacked consistency this year; 7yo who's far from guaranteed to take advantage of being 2lb below last winning mark. |
14/1 |
|
4th 5 (5) |
2nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Recent form a bit patchy, but his second of 11 at Bath (1m, good; first-time visor) on his penultimate start took his record off today's mark to 313212; does most of his racing over shorter these days, but shouldn't have a problem with this trip. |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Just three wins from 64 starts but he returned after a short break with a near-miss in a classified at Brighton (7f, good) last month; has possibilities back up in trip and his first two wins came on AW at Lingfield. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 8 (6) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Strike-rate of 3-63; he won a 0-52 handicap here (1m, good to firm) last September and his latest fourth of 14 in a 0-55 handicap at Bath (1m, good) was commendable; frame possibilities again. |
4/1 |

4th 14 (13) |
5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Running fairly well on the AW when last seen but in only 0-50 company and he is a highly infrequent winner; no more than each-way claims. |

24th Feb 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
12-time winner including over C&D; has mixed record since last success in May 2024 but he's reached the frame here in two of his last four runs; things didn't go well over C&D last time but he had a wide trip in that race and could be dangerous if he can bounce back. |

4th Nov 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Moderate in just three starts since her successful handicap debut at Chepstow (1m, good) in September last year; being a half-sister to two AW winners the main positive. |
14/1 |
|
10th 4 (5) |
30th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Made all at Chepstow (1m, good; handicap debut) last September; absent after flopping at Brighton the following month until she reappeared with big defeat back there one month ago; quite possibly needed that and she's not fully exposed, however; heed any market signals. |

0-14 but placed a few times and wasn't beaten too far in 1m4f races at Wolverhampton before a lesser run there last time after getting bumped at the start; could have a part to play. |

0-13 but has made the frame in five of her six starts this year, finishing close behind Two Plus Two and Douglas Dc over C&D early last month and third of nine (just behind Walk The Moon) in a 0-50 classified event back here 12 days later (met trouble); frame material again. |

Catterick nursery winner (7f, soft) for Ed Dunlop in September 2023, and runner-up on AW at Southwell (7f; 28-1, when 8lb higher) last summer; nothing positive to take from recent C&D stable debut; risky in first-time hood. |

29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Tended to be all or nothing under both codes when last seen; entitled to need this after more than a year off (first Flat run in going on two years) and Nelson Gate looks his yard's best chance. |
14/1 |

6th 5 |
14th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Best on the Flat at around 1m2f and his two wins over hurdles came over 2m round undemanding courses; stamina would be a concern then for a yard also responsible for Aggagio and Galactic Jack. |
6/1 |
|
5th 7 |
9th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Dictated a modest pace when just holding on over 2m here (soft) a fortnight ago, for which he's gone up only 3lb; it remains to be seen whether he'll get this far as he's bred for the Flat. |
