Not beaten far into fifth in the 2023 renewal when rated much higher; not the obvious answer today from 4lb wrong. |

3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Most of his success has come on AW but he showed at Nottingham last spring that he could get the job done on turf (5f, good); looked as though his recent seasonal return would bring him on and his lacklustre end to 2025 has seen him drop to a dangerous mark. |

4th 6 (6) |
17th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Not seen in six months, but finished first and second in two starts over C&D as a 3yo, on each occasion when returning from an absence; 6lb below last winning mark; worth a second look. |
9/1 |
|
5th 2 (2) |
24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Three of his six wins have come over C&D and has dropped 4lb lower than when successful at Chelmsford (5f, Polytrack) in June, but he does seem at his best when dominating and that won't be easy with Night On Earth in the field. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
His last win was at Windsor 13 months ago but that was off 13lb higher and he finished a close third over C&D (good to firm) on his penultimate run; has possibilities if he can recapture that form and he won't mind what the weather does. |
15/2 |

8th 4 (5) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Windsor last April off a mark 12lb higher than today's and he took a step back in the right direction when a close-up third at Nottingham (5f) a week ago; claims if building on that now returned to the AW. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Weakened quickly at Southwell 15 days ago but had been a model of consistency in 2025 prior to that, winning twice (including C&D) and placed on three other occasions; capable of bouncing back. |

12th 5 (5) |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Confirmed trailblazer who has won 13 races in his career (six on AW), but has finished out of the frame in all six starts over C&D; blinkers go on for the first time on his 86th start; others preferred. |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
One of the faster sprinters in training and he belatedly got off the mark for the year with a front-running win at Wolverhampton 17 days ago; 6lb rise against stronger opposition could find him out. |
8/1 |

Trailblazing sprinter who got no peace up front when beaten favourite in a Racing League handicap last time; ran a stormer the time before at Haydock and should give it a good shot from stall 3; has form here. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

C&D scorer but his recent form is far from encouraging, beating only two in 5f Southwell handicap 17 days ago; hood goes back on; work to do. |
14/1 |

7th 1 (2) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Possibly needed latest run (when back from a break); losing sequence is mounting up but this drop in class may do the trick; interesting at this level off 11lb below last winning mark. |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Needs things to fall just right for him but he is on a lowly mark and some of this summer's form gives him leading claims; wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Leicester run and he holds each-way claims again. |

Strong traveller with eight wins on his record, the latest off this mark in March (5f, AW); well beaten in three starts for his new stable though and enough to prove at present. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Four-time turf winner who scored at Lingfield (5f, AW) in March; however, he was soundly beaten on his final run for Tristan Davidson and it's been the same story on both outings for this stable. |
40/1 |

8 (3) |
26th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Comfortably saw off six rivals at Lingfield (5f AW) in March but went up 7lb for that and then failed to figure at Wolverhampton and Chepstow; had some traffic issues on his stable debut last time but this is a deeper race and others are preferred. |

17th Dec 2024 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Career blighted by a couple of absences; promising run at Wolverhampton in March after 645 days off but he hasn't fired in two runs this winter after a wind operation (off eight months before the first); edging down the weights but others look safer. |
16/1 |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 6 |

18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |

Made a good return to turf when narrowly denied over 5f at Bath (good) 13 days ago; nudged back up 3lb but remains 1lb below the mark he defied on AW last autumn; needs considering. |

26th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |

Third, beaten 1.25l by Over Spiced, in a C&D handicap three weeks ago; that represented his best turf result but this race will demand an even bigger effort. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 6 (3) |
4th May 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Big chance on his AW form but he has finished out of the placings in all nine turf runs; BHA mark is 15lb lower on turf but he's likely to remain vulnerable. |
14/1 |
|
6th 3 (3) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won from a similar mark at Lingfield (5f; 8-1) in November; form levels have dipped since finishing third back there in January, failing to beat a single rival the last twice; is 2-4 over C&D, so it's possible that added cheekpieces can rekindle a spark. |
