25th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Four wins last year, two of them coming here (5f-6f); usually seen in a lower grade though and he will need to leave his return to action well behind him. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Four wins last year, including 6f on good to firm; mark went up as a result but showed he can still be very competitive when runner-up on AW on his penultimate outing of 2025; no great record fresh so it might be best to look elsewhere this time. |

1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Trip and track no issue and he arrives on the back of a hard-fought win at Redcar two weeks ago (6f, good); a 2lb rise shouldn't prevent another good run. |

6th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Course regular who's going beyond 5f for the first time in almost two years; remains consistent and is on a winning mark but others are preferred over this trip. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
In-form 8yo, placed at Wolverhampton and Newcastle on his last two starts; goes back up in class but it's difficult to rule out this eight-time course winner who should get a good pace to aim at. |

3rd 1 (7) |
11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Eight of his nine wins on the AW have been at Wolverhampton and the other came over this C&D; ran well but was no match for the winner when second of nine at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) nine days ago; claims off his last winning mark. |

23rd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y |
9st 13lb |
Won at Tipperary in August (5f, good); solid efforts off revised mark at Naas and over C&D when denied by a head (hung left); cut out much of the running when below best over C&D in October. |

31st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y |

Has followed up his Tipperary win with solid efforts off his revised mark at Naas (5f, good) and over C&D 17 days ago when denied by a head by Jordan Breeze (hung left); weighted to turn that around now; player. |

2nd Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won a 5f classifed stakes at Lingfield last month, but fared less well upped in grade over C&D last week. |
12/1 |

7th 6 (4) |
27th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
It was a classified race he won at Lingfield recently (5f) and he's now 8lb higher than for his sole previous success at handicap level; could be vulnerable but at least there are no wellbeing issues. |

14th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |

5f win at Southwell last October; mixed record since but this is his first attempt in 0-50 company and he can't be ignored; visor experiment quickly aborted. |

1st Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Both wins have been on AW and latest was 11 months ago; 0-15 on turf but he had a near-miss at Nottingham (5f, good) in July and has run respectably in two of his three subsequent runs; usually comes from off the pace and has possibilities if he gets some luck. |
12/1 |

3 (6) |
9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Finished five places behind Arlington at Ripon 11 days ago but he met trouble in running; beaten only a head at Nottingham (5f, good) earlier in July and a repeat of that form would give him reasonable claims. |
5/1 |
|
7th 4 (8) |
29th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Chased home Canaria Queen in a Nottingham classified event 11 days ago and 1lb better off for a head defeat today; ran another good race at Newcastle on Saturday, never nearer than at the finish; new blinkers replace cheekpieces; has the ability to win a race of this nature but he's an habitual slow starter so will always need some luck in running. |
