20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 5f 143y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Good strike-rate of 7-17 and he should have brighter prospects than some of staying this extreme trip given he wasn't stopping at the end of the Chester Cup over an extended 2m2f last time; has raised his game in cheekpieces (fitted in only his last two races) and he could outrun his odds if coping okay with fast ground. |
16/1 |

6th 6 (15) |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Missed most of last season but won on good/AW in four of his six starts since, the latest in clearcut fashion with first-time cheekpieces at Newcastle on AW Championships day; raised another 7lb, drawn wide and lacks any race experience at this track, but he's going from strength to strength. |
10/1 |

1st 9 (12) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
In and out on his five runs since returning from an absence in October but he's won three of them, most recently at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) in January; has also won on Tapeta; this steadily progressive 6yo has gone up just 2lb for last time and could again be involved; cheekpieces go on. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won over C&D in October 2024 off 9lb higher; however, he's run just five times since and has been disappointing in the main, particularly on both starts this season. |
14/1 |

6th 4 (1) |
11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 104y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Five-timer for the Charlton stable between September 2023 and July 2024 included a win over C&D, but he was beaten out of sight on his stable debut/reappearance at Kempton 15 days ago; has plenty to prove now. |
25/1 |

10th 2 (2) |
27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Won his first five handicaps (including on Tapeta, unproven on Polytrack) but the last of those was in July 2024; generally disappointing since and, after 307 days off, this is a new trip on first run since changing hands and leaving Harry Charlton. |

7th Jan 2025 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won twice last year and is 2lb lower than when successful at Nottingham (1m6f, good to firm) in June; met late interference when beating one home over C&D 11 days ago (Green Team second); capable of playing a part at this level granted a clearer run. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Winless in three years and has regressed for this yard; consisent run came to an end when below-par at Kempton a few weeks ago but he won't mind the return to turf off a career-low mark. |
6/1 |
|
6th 4 (6) |
10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Multiple winner at up to 1m6f, including here but hasn't won for almost three years; even so, has been placed on five successive occasions and is capable of going close from this mark now back on this surface. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 5 (5) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Losing run stretches back to July 2023 but he ended 2025 in good form and his reappearance at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) 18 days ago was a positive one; stepping back up in distance is a positive but he could do with the ground drying out. |
