Nosed ahead in the final strides to beat Down To The Kid in C&D event three weeks ago, taking record at Southwell to 3-5 and strike-rate under Hector Crouch to 5-8; with those stats he's one for the shortlist. |

9st 6lb |
22-race maiden but he has finished in the first three on seven occasions; however, he was down the field at Wolverhampton on his yard debut three weeks ago and needs to bounce back in first-time cheekpieces. |

9st 6lb |
Regressive 11-race maiden who was beaten 17l when down the field at Lingfield (1m2f, AW; first-time cheekpieces) a week ago; returns to turf with the tongue-tie back on; better needed now dropped back in trip; due to be 3lb lower. |

19th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
11st 1lb |
Regressive ten-race maiden who has been beaten 5l or more in his six handicaps this year; mark continues to fall but he needs to this step back up in trip to make a difference; cheekpieces added. |
12/1 |
|
7th 6 (2) |
3rd Jun 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Showed early promise, but hasn't built on it and now 0-9; finished 5l behind Royal Observatory when sixth of 14 in an amateurs' event over C&D last time and needs plenty more. |

14th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
All four Flat wins on the AW and had far inferior figures on turf; stamina wouldn't be guaranteed for hurdling. |
10/1 |
|
7th 3 (3) |
24th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
All four wins on AW; sole turf run came when last of five at Bath (1m, firm) in May but he won at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW) three weeks later; beat one home at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) last time and he needs to prove stamina and effectiveness on grass; would be a first winner for rider Henry Callan. |
10/1 |

9th 9 (10) |
19th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Blinkers have helped, with three wins from the front already this year, and proved his stamina over this far at Wolverhampton last time; landed another wide stall today and this is tougher, upped another 3lb, but he enters calculations. |

24th Jul 2025 Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Prolific winner who was in fine form through the winter but progress was stalled by a three-month absence when well beaten at Carlisle (1m, soft; ground no excuse); would have each-way claims if back on song a month later. |
25/1 |
|
11 (14) |
25th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has won three of his last four regulation races, two on the AW and the other at Doncaster in March (1m, good); won the charity race at York for the second time 12 days ago, goes well on soft ground and one to take seriously. |

17th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Recorded his 12th AW win when scoring at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month but he flopped under a penalty there eight days later; has bit to prove again after that heavy defeat but he has won three of his last seven starts and is capable of bouncing back. |
10/1 |

22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Beat a serial loser of late over C&D three weeks ago, taking Hector Crouch's record on him to 2-2; 4lb rise is of no great concern considering he's been rated much higher in the past; handy draw. |
5/1 |
|
1st 1 (6) |
1st Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Nine of his 12 wins have been on AW, the latest from 5lb higher at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) in March; not beaten far into fourth of 13 at Brighton (1m, soft) last month and he has to be of interest in this field. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Course specialist who landed his sixth win on this track earlier this month, in a C&D classified; beaten at odds-on over 7f here 24 hours later but will be more at home back over 1m and must be on the shortlist. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 4 (2) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
8yo who has worked his way back into form this season and he won a 1m classified here yesterday under Molly Gunn, which was his sixth course win; strong claims under 4lb penalty if running again today. |
9/4 |
|
1st 5 (7) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Gained five of his 11 wins at this track; not at best in three handicaps since returned to turf in June but was only beaten about 2l when fifth of seven at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last time and is strong interest in this lower grade and with cheekpieces refitted. |
