7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Spent most of his career running over a bit shorter in better company than this; cracked late on his return from an absence, having been gelded, at Salisbury a fortnight ago and is entitled to have come on for that; one to consider. |

Dangerously handicapped on old form but looked out of sorts during five-race turf/AW spell from August to January; gelded in March; needs to have been revitalised by 203-day break. |

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). |

Goes well here; all four AW wins have been over C&D; third over C&D last month but below his best at Bath since; looks sure to go close at his favoured track. |
14/1 |

8th 6 (10) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
His last four wins have come on AW at Wolverhampton; six C&D runs have yielded formfigures of 243234; third at Wolverhampton 12 days ago (for today's rider) and he should be in the thick of the action once again. |
4/1 |

3rd 10 (2) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Three-time C&D winner, latterly off 4lb higher in February; fine on Polytrack but the return here is an obvious plus off a career-low mark and he's another with claims in an open handicap. |

13th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
The last of his four wins came back in April 2024; creditable efforts here on his last three starts but he needs a thorough test at this trip and that doesn't look assured this time. |

3rd 5 (4) |
18th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Course regular; came second over 8.6f here in June 2025 and his third of seven over C&D later that month was respectable but this is his first appearance since. |

3rd 5 (3) |
16th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
All four wins have been at this track; his last success was 14 months ago but he's run plenty of good races since including when runner-up here (8.6f) 13 days ago; didn't get a smooth run in that race and has possibilities if he gets a good pace back at this trip. |

17th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Often slowly away but has plenty of Southwell form, including four wins off higher marks; posted a resurgent effort (third of 13) over C&D most recently; possibilities, provided he takes to new headgear. |
7/1 |

3rd 2 (3) |
24th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Now 10lb below his last winning mark, which came over C&D (Class 5) in January; probably a bit better than the bare facts (slowly away and met trouble) when seventh of 12 over C&D one week ago. |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
All four wins have been on the AW, the last three at Kempton, most recently over 1m in June; another good AW run when second of nine over 1m at Lingfield 23 days ago but has a career-high mark on likely ground he's yet to prove he handles (all three turf runs on good/good to firm). |
11/2 |

All four wins have been on the AW, the last three at Kempton, most recently over 1m in June when last seen off a 4lb lower mark; went close here over 7f in April and can be competitive on his return from a 76-day break. |

Justified favouritism in a C&D handicap in April off 5lb lower; beaten a nose at Lingfield later that month and then met trouble in running at Ripon last week; should remain competitive. |
