28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
An ideal type for this prize having ended last term with a C&D win, showing career-best form; that was on heavy but he seems versatile as regards ground; further progress is not out of the question; shortlisted. |
7/1 |

1st 11 (3) |
25th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Did well last autumn (including heavy-ground win) and back to form with a 1m Windsor success (good) in September; only a respectable fourth at Nottingham (good to soft) since, though. |
10/1 |

4 (11) |
8th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Off the mark in impressive style in this race last year (heavy); returned to form with a Windsor win (1m, good) on latest start, which sees him back up 4lb today (10lb higher than 12 months ago) but on the shortlist. |

26th Feb 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
0-11; lots of fair form, including at this venue, but her willingness to come home in front is questionable; hood removed for the first time since her debut. |
7/4 |

3rd 6 (4) |
12th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

9/2 |

4th 7 (8) |
20th Jan 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Well-bred filly who is now 0-9 and looking exposed, but was runner-up in her only previous handicap and she beat all bar an unexposed favourite in a 1m novice last time; can be keen out in front and perhaps this belated return to 7f will work. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
In prime form in July, winning twice (7f/1m) at Ayr, but the wheels seem to have come off since and he beat only one home on the same course last time; others preferred. |
16/1 |
|
10th 2 (13) |
20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Back in prime form in July, winning twice here (1m/7f), but two slightly disappointing efforts have followed and he probably needs to rebound with a career-best performance; effective on all ground. |
9/1 |
|
7th 4 (5) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Effective on fast and heavy ground; got back in the groove when winning twice at Ayr (1m/7f) in July but he was disappointing in hat-trick bid there last month; bit to prove again after that and he needs to bounce back near best. |

9th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Has a modest strike-rate but won over C&D (soft) in April; largely consistent since, solid second off this mark at Sandown (1m, good; behind a subsequent winner) most recently; one for the shortlist. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Won twice over shorter last summer; big prices and little to cheer this year; down in the weights but he has plenty to prove. |
50/1 |
|
11th 15 (5) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 8lb |
Returns to his ideal sphere (turf) but brings a question mark over his current form, having trailed home last in both AW outings this year; possibly out of his depth to boot, having never won above Class 4. |
20/1 |
|
7th 4 (4) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Last four wins have come in high summer, including two from the front last year for Jack Dace (rides Tiger Crusade), and he remains weighted to his best; didn't offer much on his comeback three weeks ago and an easy 7f is a bare minimum these days. |

1st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Didn't appear to be crying out for the return to 1m at Doncaster and weakened late on; this is his trip, over which he was twice runner-up at Wolverhampton in March; not handicapped out of it, either. |
4/1 |
|
8th 20 (7) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Best form over 7f, including second-place finishes on Wolverhampton AW this year; faded into midfield, having raced freely, when joint-favourite for this contest 12 months ago; not crying out for return to 1m. |

20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
His good run of form ground to a halt at Thirsk last time but he can be given a pass as he was tight for room at a crucial stage; Billy Loughnane back on board today and his record for him reads 4111; one to take seriously. |
4/1 |
|
8th 2 (4) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
He had dropped a long way in the weights prior to his Wolverhampton win on Boxing Day; added further wins at Wolverhampton (twice) and Bath (1m, good) since; similar form when fourth at Nottingham two weeks ago (1m2f, good); shouldn't be far away if the ground is deemed suitable (untried on faster than good). |
3/1 |
|
4th 1 (10) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Made it 4-7 since cheekpieces went on when seeing off ten rivals back on turf at Bath (1m, good) 13 days ago; a 3lb rise shouldn't prevent another prominent showing in his current mood. |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
No win since May 2024 (1m2f, Bath) but she has fallen a long way in the weights as a result; may have needed her reappearance run at Wolverhampton (9.4f) last month but she had a patchy record last season and others are more convincing. |
12/1 |
|
4th 6 (2) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
No win since May 2024 (1m2f, Bath) but she has fallen a long way in the weights as a result; bogged down on heavy ground at Nottingham last October; it's difficult to know what to expect returned to AW (0-11) off a six-month absence. |

9th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Twice-raced filly who is far less exposed than most of her rivals; got up on the line at Ffos Las (1m, heavy) then ran respectably at Kempton (AW) where she conceded weight all round; still open to progress and is interesting back on turf. |
7/1 |

3rd 1 (3) |
20th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

1st 6 (2) |
30th Aug 2024 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Fourth foal; by Invincible Spirit; closely related to winners Imrahor (6.5f/1m; RPR 101) and Dukeman (1m/1m2f turf; 88); dam placed 7f 2yo (73); needs a market check. |

9st 9lb |
Good second of 16 (AW) on his stable debut/reappearance last April and went on to land similar events in June and July; turf no issue and was second of 17 at Ascot (also 1m, soft; acts on good to firm) in September; career-high mark but still respected on this return. |
