30th Apr 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Won easily and produced a very useful handicap performance at Southwell when last seen, taking form figures (all over 1m on AW) to 2111; interesting, assuming his big progress is transferred to turf. |

17th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Gained last success off just 1lb lower at Meydan in March; hasn't scored on home soil for over two years but ran respectably in competitive field at York (1m) last Friday; possibilities back down in grade. |
13/2 |
|
5th 13 (16) |
10th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Failed to kick on after big-field handicap win at Meydan (1m, good to firm) in March but returned from a break in the Cambridgeshire (1m1f, good to firm) a fortnight ago and was denied a clear run when finishing an encouraging 11th of 23; he may be able to build on that performance. |

27th Sep 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Won a big-field handicap at Meydan (1m, good to firm) in March; however, didn't really threaten in Britain on his next three starts in April and May, and returns from a break today; others are more appealing. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Five-time AW winner over 1m and he was runner-up on turf over this C&D two weeks ago on his first start for 270 days; the winner has won again since; has major claims in the returning cheekpieces. |
15/8 |

2nd 10 (5) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Drew a blank in 2025 after a successful time of things in 2024; returns from nine months off on a dangerous mark but he is a better horse on AW. |
20/1 |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won his first five starts on the AW between October 2023 and October 2024 including twice over C&D; has run well on several occasions since then and just 2lb above his last winning mark, but the outside stall makes things tricky. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Has gained all wins on Newcastle AW, the most recent on finals day last year; however, ran well at Ascot (1m, good to firm) returned to turf last time, taking form figures in this sphere to 3232; seems effective over 7f and may remain competitive. |
33/1 |

2nd 1 (2) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
All four wins have been on the AW at Newcastle, including a hat-trick early last year; back on his last winning mark and he did chase a strong pace last time (in a race he won 12 months earlier) before folding late on; lightly raced on turf. |
8/1 |
|
10th 7 (6) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
He was completing a C&D hat-trick when winning the corresponding race 12 months ago off a 3lb lower mark; not at his best in two runs this year (following a gelding operation) and he needs to raise his game. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Placed on both starts here and he continues to slide down the weights, but was beaten 17l into seventh of eight at Pontefract (1m2f, good) last time and will need to do a good deal better than that; no headgear today. |
14/1 |
|
7th 3 (11) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 5y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
His form deteriorated last year and he went 0-9; however, he's dropped down the weights and could improve for his recent comeback in a Listed race at Kempton (fourth); this C&D winner is not ruled out. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
1-23 in Britain, the win coming from 2lb higher at Nottingham (1m, good to firm) in May; recent efforts suggest he will need to step up in order to make an impact; first-time visor joins the cheekpieces. |
14/1 |

28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Hasn't kicked on from a winning debut for this yard (1m; 1lb higher) and finished last on his previous AW start; others safer. |
10/1 |
|
4th 1 (2) |
16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Won at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm) on stable debut in May but diminishing returns in three runs since and was only eighth of ten at Haydock last month; now back on last winning mark but he needs to rediscover his spark back up in trip. |
7/1 |
