11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |

Zipped around Wolverhampton when recording a couple of impressive 5f wins this winter so this track should suit; two solid placed efforts since returned to turf; might find a few better treated though. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |

Made all at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) in February and returned from a break with good third at Thirsk (5f, good) recently, when making the running under Hope Regan; could make another bold bid. |

9st 9lb |
Yet to win away from Tapeta, and while June's half-length second in a Doncaster handicap (6f, good to firm) represents his nearest ever miss on turf, it's been diminishing returns from him again since. |

1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Three-time AW winner but 0-14 on turf; his last two runs on grass have offered hope that he can win a small race on fast ground though and he is one for the shortlist. |
