4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won four times last term but he hasn't added to that haul since scoring at Windsor (1m, good to firm) around a year ago; did go close under Laura Pearson at Redcar (6f) off this mark in May, however, and wasn't beaten far when sixth in Newmarket handicap (7f) last time; sole previous attempt in this headgear was inconclusive (didn't stay 1m2f). |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Said to have run flat last time; tended to respond well to switches/removal of headgear in the past (back to cheekpieces from blinkers tonight) and won't mind coming back up from sprint trips, but Pontefract will need forgiving. |

Multiple 7f-8.5f winner who fared better than seemed likely when dropped to 6f at Redcar (good to firm; half-length second) last week; fighting chance off same mark. |

18th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Seems equally effective over 7f or 1m; back on a mark he can win off and was noted doing some nice late work in race he'd won the previous year over the shorter trip of 7f last time; draw for this prominent racer could have been kinder. |
10/1 |

5th 2 (7) |
31st Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Dual C&D winner who recorded another good C&D effort when third of 12 just before Christmas; not in the same form when fifth of six over 1m here nine days later but he's capable of bouncing back. |
7/2 |

29th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

All four wins on Polytrack including two over C&D, the latest in July; again ran well when second of 12 at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) 15 days ago, but he has an awkward draw. |

Hard to crab his record on AW, winning three times and regularly placed; he'll need a good pace back at 7f but that could be on the cards. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
The most recent of his six wins came at Lingfield (7f, AW) in April 2025 off a mark 3lb higher than today's but he has posted some good efforts since; however, he was below his best at Salisbury 19 days ago and needs to bounce back with cheekpieces back on. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 213y Class 4 |

Losing run is mounting up but he has proved broadly consistent since last success, most recently beating all bar the market leader at Musselburgh (7f, good); again has place possibilities. |

21st May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Placed in two of his last three starts (1m2f/1m3f, AW) for this yard and he won on good to soft at Goodwood (1m) last June for the Moores; tackles stiffer opposition this time but can't be ruled out. |
6/1 |

3rd 2 (2) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Inconsistent gelding who's with his third yard; better effort at Lingfield in February but gave himself no chance of seeing out 1m4f on his first crack at beyond 1m2f latest thanks to pulling hard; needs to settle early if he's to have a chance. |
8/1 |
|
6th 1 (4) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
On same mark as for his Goodwood win (1m) for Gary and Josh Moore last summer; made a low-key start for new yard last month but he returned to form with a creditable third here (1m2f) last time; was strong at the finish in that race and he's in the mix at this new trip. |

25th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Dual 7f course winner; 7f wins at Doncaster and Yarmouth last month, the latter off 7lb lower, but he wasn't suited by a modestly run race at the former track ten days ago; left the impression he's still in form and he holds claims returned to 1m. |
8/1 |

8th 5 (12) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Ended a losing run over C&D in July and quickly followed up with comfortable success in 7f Yarmouth handicap 18 days ago; up another 7lb now but very much one to consider in his hat-trick bid. |
4/1 |

1st 2 (5) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Had his ideal combination of fast ground and a strong pace when back to winning form at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) ten days ago; only 2lb higher and much respected if this pans out in a similar way, which looks a possibility. |

25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

1m turf and 1m2f AW winner for the Crisfords but he never took off for Mike Smith and finished last of seven on his stable debut ten weeks ago; impossible to recommend without a market move to offer revival hopes. |

9st 8lb |
Bids for a hat-trick after two wins at Bath (1m2f, firm), beating Galaxy Wonder by half a length on the latest occasion; up another 2lb, but still a big player in his current mood. |

12th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 5 |

Most wins on the AW but it was his third success on the grass when coming home 2.5l to the good over C&D two weeks ago; defying the 5lb rise shouldn't be beyond him. |
9/2 |

1st 5 (2) |
27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |

Has a better strike-rate on AW than on turf but he's in form, creditable third at Lingfield on Good Friday last time; gained last win off 5lb higher (in July 2024); shortlisted. |
