4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Seemingly perked up by change of headgear when winning from the front at Thirsk (6f, good; first-time visor) in April and again ran well when third of 17 over that C&D last month; high on the list. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
A switch of headgear saw him end a losing run when making most in a big-field handicap over C&D last month; not in the same form when third at Southwell 16 days ago; no surprise to see him bounce back. |

Responded well to a change of headgear when making all in a 17-runner handicap at Thirsk 12 days ago (6f, good); 6lb higher back on AW and he's not the only pace influence in the field. |

1st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Returned to Tony Carroll and left a couple of quiet AW runs behind when scoring over C&D (beat She Went Whoosh by nearly 3l) and at Brighton (6f) in May; came up short in hat-trick bid at Windsor on Monday but was out of his comfort zone early over the bare 5f before plugging on into fifth; not dismissed if turned out quickly. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Third run back with Tony Carroll when taking advantage of his reduced mark at Bath (5.7f) last month and he did it in good style; followed up under a 4lb penalty at Brighton (6f, again good to firm) one week later, leading in the final strides, so this 5f could be an issue but he's on a roll again. |

Third run back with Tony Carroll when taking advantage of his reduced mark at Bath (5.7f) last Friday and he did it in good style; that gives him a big chance under just a 4lb penalty but he's run with credit at Brighton only once from eight visits. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Better known on AW; can lead but he came from off the pace when winning at Bath (5f, firm) last month under James Glennon; nothing went right from a wide draw at Beverley since but he does act well on fast ground and has a generally good record over C&D (course winner at 5f); thereabouts. |
12/1 |

8th 4 (9) |
27th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Multiple AW wins; much less prolific on turf but he was running over 5f on grass for the first time since a 2024 win when getting up near the line at Bath (firm) recently under James Glennon; has an awkward draw but this track may also suit; has to be considered. |

13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |

A three-time 6f AW winner in 2025 and in good nick over the winter; just as effective on turf and this quirky sort is not out of things back from a break today. |

Campaigned on AW since November, winning once; hasn't scored on turf since 2023 but is 8lb lower than last appearance in this sphere; attractively handicapped. |

17th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Won off 5lb higher over C&D last February but he has form figures of 970068 since; had some traffic issues back at this track last week but he's a frequent slow starter and well into the veteran stage; down the list. |

11th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Tremendous sprinter who's won 11 times, four here; low key since returning from a break but he didn't look a completely lost cause at Chelmsford last month and the likely good pace here will suit; weighted to pounce and revival on the cards. |

Well treated on his best form last winter but he's been out of sorts this time around and slow starts have been an issue; plenty to prove and he needs a major revival. |
