18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Not seen on turf since 2024 but is well treated on best Newcastle AW form and has won over this C&D; admittedly needs to stage a revival judged on 2026 efforts. |

Prolific here during the 2024/25 AW season but he's beaten one rival in two starts after an absence; couldn't support with any confidence. |

27th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Enhanced his excellent record over C&D when extending his lead at the line 13 days ago with three of these rivals left trailing in his wake; up another 6lb but Warren Fentiman claims a useful 7lb (different claimer took away 3lb last time); very solid. |

14th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Has form figures of 1111351 over C&D and he hit a personal best with that latest win 13 days ago; 6lb higher back up in grade but he still looks feasibly treated and should be in the thick of things again. |

18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Only 3-39 but placed plenty of times; a greater concern would be his recent efforts and cheekpieces are now turned to. |

6th 8 (11) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Three course wins (6f-1m) and a multitude of placed efforts, including a close third to Saytaar (Harry The Rogue second) over C&D in March; has struggled on turf in his last three appearances (7.5f-1m2f) but his mark has eased accordingly. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Two attempts over C&D, including off 2lb higher in this race last year, comprise his only wins for Craig Lidster; effective when fresh; interesting returned to this scenario on stable/seasonal debut. |
14/1 |

3rd May 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Lightly raced front-runner who showed promise on turf last summer and won at Newcastle (1m, AW) in February; well beaten the last twice, however, most recently at Ascot on Wednesday; has to get back on track. |

19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |

Four wins on AW but 0-7 on turf; has shown promise on good to soft but others bring more pressing claims. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

Newcastle regular (four wins) but well held in both visits here; still 4lb above his last winning mark and others make greater appeal. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Four-time AW winner, the latest at Newcastle (7f) in May, and good second at Chester (7f, good to soft) in June; however, only fifth of ten at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last time and has to leave that run behind if he's to get off the mark on turf at the seventh attempt. |

14th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Rattled off a four-timer here (7f-1m) early last year but he was out of sorts in his final three runs in 2024; now only 1lb higher than for his last success but this 11yo needs a major turnaround. |
20/1 |

12th Dec 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Veteran; rattled off a four-timer here (7f-1m) early in the year; weakened when sixth to a stablemate of Judgement Call over C&D six weeks ago and others appear to be on more manageable marks. |
