11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Stable yet to get rolling for the year but he was a bright spot when springing a surprise over C&D off 3lb lower in February; not entirely convinced over 7f a couple of times since and holds each-way claims. |

4th 7 (6) |
11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
6f winner here on his penultimate start and he didn't fail through a lack of stamina when third at Chelmsford 13 days ago; he was well positioned in a race where nothing challenged from the rear there though and others appeal more for win purposes. |

26th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Strong at the finish when winning a 6f handicap at Southwell two weeks ago; the subsequent 4lb rise looks less of a concern than the additional furlong. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Done his winning on the AW but is fine on turf; not best drawn when behind All Ways Glamorous at Ascot in the spring (now 2lb worse off) before not looking to see out 6f last time; needs a career-best off his current mark but this is less competitive. |
6/1 |

9th 14 (3) |
13th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Has done most of his racing on AW (4-20) but seems at least as effective on turf and he went close at Chepstow three weeks ago; all wins over 5f but he tends to finish strongly and should be just as good at 6f; may not be fully exposed and the booking of young Aussie star Zac Lloyd catches the eye. |

11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Finally ended a 49-race losing run at Southwell (5f, AW) in January; now 2lb lower than for that success and this company is much easier than that he normally keeps, but his record of 1-47 on turf still makes him hard to warm to. |

13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Ended a lengthy losing run at Southwell in January and posted a respectable effort at Newmarket (5f, good) last month; however, he was down the field at Ascot (5f, good to firm) 12 days ago and is now just 1-46 on turf; others preferred. |
20/1 |

14th 15 (16) |
1st May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Ended a lengthy losing run at Southwell in January and he is just 1lb higher today; solid effort at Newmarket 17 days ago when not ideally positioned; each-way claims at a track where he has run well in much better races than this one. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has won here but at his best at Newcastle where he has gained his last four wins; can ruin chance by starting slowly but is not firing on all cylinders at present anyway; best to wait until he returns to Newcastle. |
16/1 |

3rd 1 (2) |
15th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |

Better on the AW, but has a 15lb lower rating on turf; Newcastle winner in March; not disgraced on latest turf start at Beverley last month, but modest effort in a visor (on again) on Tapeta last time; a possible. |

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 |

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. |

15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
No great love for softer surfaces these days, but her present good heart still carried her to second at Lingfield latest (good to soft); record of 13412 in C&D class 5s includes June's win (good to firm); chance. |
7/2 |

22nd Jul 2025 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Refound some form last two outings for first and second at Yarmouth; best efforts last year were better still but, despite form on testing ground earlier in career, she came last of six on last season's two runs on soft. |

Won this race last year off a 5lb higher mark and came back to form when pulling away with one other over C&D a fortnight ago; has had her moments at the stalls and isn't the most consistent but will rightly be popular. |

Well treated on this year's best and his penultimate effort suggested he was still in good order; latest Chelmsford run was disappointing though and he'll need the new hood to have a positive effect; drops in class. |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |

Has won four of his last seven starts and the latest defeat at Chelmsford was no backward step; however, his mark has taken a hit and this 9yo is returning from a lengthy break; fine on all ground. |

Resurgent 8yo who has won three of his last five starts including a game success at Catterick (6f, good) last Saturday; only 2lb higher back on AW and he's a big player again in hat-trick bid. |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Both wins have come at Chelmsford (5f, Polytrack) and is 5lb lower than for the latest in January; hasn't enjoyed the smoothest of runs in two of his last three starts and could go well from the inside stall granted a kinder trip. |
8/1 |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |

All ten runs over 5f on AW, winning a novice and a Class 5 handicap at Chelmsford; cheekpieces didn't have a positive effect back at Chelmsford last month though and others are more appealing; first run at Southwell. |
