17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Last of his two wins in 2025 came over C&D; signs he was on the way back when fifth of 12 here (7f) last month; holds claims in his first classified. |

30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Two solid efforts in April over 6f when the hood was applied, but he's failed to beat a rival over this trip on his last two starts and is still unproven on this far; has been absent for 70 days and others are preferred. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
1-21; close fourth at Thirsk (6f, good; from 7lb higher) in April; has lost his way since, failing to beat many in 5f contests at Pontefract, Beverley, and Chester; questions to be answered for the time being. |
20/1 |

9th 10 (5) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Only run to form once in four runs back on turf this summer and that was over 6f; still 1lb higher than for his AW win in December; others appeal more. |
14/1 |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Blitzed his rivals at Southwell in December (5f) when a visor was first used; mostly creditable efforts since until down the field at Pontefract on latest; needs to bounce back from that. |

18th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
On a losing run but he shaped better than his placing suggests in 5f handicaps at Redcar and Lingfield on his first two runs this term; went without headgear when only sixth of eight in 5f Newcastle handicap last time but no surprise to see him play a prominent role here in refitted blinkers. |
7/2 |

6th 2 (7) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Only win was a 5f handicap at Chelmsford in March 2025 when visored for the first time; would have a chance on his C&D second off 8lb higher last November, but below-par recently; no visor this time. |
6/1 |
|
8th 8 (2) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
Had a BHA mark 26lb higher than today when starting out for this yard last summer but he's struggled to make much of an impact; did finish second at Newcastle in November (well backed) but that form hasn't worked out at all; recent Redcar reappearance is easy to excuse (went off hard and raced in a group of two, finishing sixth and seventh, on the far side); stable looks to hold stronger claims with Birkenhead. |

5th Apr 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Expensive to follow (0-6) but was twice bang there (including here) before perhaps failing to take to a hood last time at Southwell; unlikely to be far away. |

25th Jun 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Sent off 4-1 and 9-2 for his two handicaps but couldn't match the pick of his novice/maiden form (stepping up to 7f was no real help last time); perhaps first-time headgear will focus him. |
11/2 |

5th 6 (5) |
6th May 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Showed ability here over 5f in February on his second start and ran to a similar level when finishing third of nine over 6f at Newcastle on handicap debut; should be suited by this step up to 7f, in line with his pedigree, and holds solid claims. |

8st 13lb |
3yo who has been beaten at least 11l in each of his five starts (5f-8.5f), including on handicap debut (6f, AW) in May; drops back to 5f in first-time blinkers. |

28th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 3 |

Weak form claims having come up well short off a basement mark on handicap debut; four runs have been from 5f to 8.6f. |
100/1 |

7th 7 (4) |
22nd May 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Failed to beat a single rival on first two starts, and fared only marginally better when seventh of 12 in a 7f maiden here (300-1) in February; gelded, and off for three months since, but does make handicap debut at an appropriate level. |
