26th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Ended a losing run with a front-running 6f win at Thirsk in April; not so good since but he is well drawn to attack and this track suits his aggressive racing style; one to take seriously. |
7/1 |

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. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Three turf wins (fast ground) since rejoining Tony Carroll, one of them coming over C&D; up in the weights as a result and the recent rain will suit others more. |

23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Hold-up performer who won two in a row in May (5.7f/6f, good to firm) before keeping on for fifth of 13 at Windsor (5f, good to firm), and he was back on the scoresheet at Bath (5.7f, firm) three weeks ago; the return to a bare 5f may not be ideal but the stiff track compensates; respected. |

1st 1 (1) |
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. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Dual firm-ground Bath winner this season, latterly off 3lb lower for Owen Lewis late last month; as high in the weights now as he's been for a few years and his record round here is nothing exciting. |
4/1 |
|
1st 3 (1) |
31st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Has much better strike-rate on AW but recovered from slow start to win here (5f, firm) on turf return in May, and this longer trip will arguably suit him better; needs to bounce back from two down-the-field runs but was denied a clear run on first occasion; can't be ruled out. |
11/2 |

10th 4 (5) |
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. |

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. |
