1st Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Campaigned mainly at 6f; form has dipped sharply in two Class 5 contests since completing a Class 6 AW hat-trick; has enough to prove over this new trip. |
20/1 |
|
8th 7 (9) |
14th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Looked on the up when completing his hat-trick at Kempton (6f) in March but he came in last of seven at Wolverhampton (6f) 11 days ago; he's the sort to bounce back though. |
10/1 |

7th 3 (4) |
3rd Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
In fine form earlier in year with three wins, two of them over C&D; returns from 69 days off from a 3lb higher mark, but he looks progressive and shortlisted in his bid for the four-timer. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Prolific winner down the years, adding two AW handicaps to his haul in February; arrives in good form but he was no match for Imperial Guard here last week and the turnaround in the weights may be insufficient. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 4 (1) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Safely held on consecutive 6f starts this spring but placed twice since returned to 7f, latterly in C&D (good) contest won by Jkr Cobbler three weeks ago; 2lb higher today but probably won't be far away. |
8/1 |

Safely held on consecutive 6f starts this spring but looked back in good nick when close third at Musselburgh (7f, good; just behind Monhammer) on Tuesday and remains on a good mark; shortlisted. |

1st Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
His C&D win in February was achieved off a 10lb higher mark; out of sorts more recently though and others look safer. |
14/1 |
|
5th 8 (1) |
2nd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
All nine wins over 6f including three here; 8lb below his last winning mark, but attempts this far for only the second time on his 64th start and didn't prove his stamina in the first. |
16/1 |
|
6th 6 (4) |
18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
He was winning for the ninth time in his career when scoring at Kempton in February (made most); quiet on turf this summer and opposable despite a reduced mark. |

14th Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 160y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Not beaten far when fourth of five in recent 5f race won by Savannah Smiles (heavy ground) but is effectively on the same mark from 2lb out of the weights today and has very modest 1-33 strike-rate. |
16/1 |
|
5 (8) |
3rd Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Has the ability to win a race of this nature but can flatter to deceive and boasts a strike-rate of just one win from 32 starts; good effort at Wolverhampton six weeks ago but perhaps better on Tapeta nowadays. |
6/1 |
|
7 (11) |
22nd Jul 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
A few near-misses over C&D off higher marks since coming over from Ireland and didn't run badly on turf last time, when done for toe over 5f back from a break; wouldn't be a shock were he to pop up despite the wide stall. |

17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Stable stalwart with 13 wins; not the force of old and contests his first classified; can't discount but likely to find one or two too good. |
7/2 |
|
6th 3 (5) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
Both wins on turf have been on ground slower than good and his last four wins have been on the AW; beat only one rival home at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago and now drops back in trip with promising amateur Henry Callan taking over in the saddle; visor back on. |
16/1 |
|
5th 4 (5) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Solid strike-rate on AW but not so good on turf and latest sixth of 12 at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) will need improving on; nothing wrong with this mark, though. |

28th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

Good second over C&D in December but that's a rare bright spot in the last few months; others look stronger for win purposes. |

10th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |

Sole AW win was a 6f novice two years ago; in better form in December than he is now but Stevie Donohoe is 1-1 on him (on turf last summer) so there might be a turnaround. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Consistent and likes it here; 7lb better off with Secret Handsheikh than when second to him over C&D this month but has spent most of his career running in lesser company and is currently weighted to his best; faded late over 6f here on Sunday. |
8/1 |

7th 8 (3) |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Prominent racer; three wins this year, including here, but put in his place by Secret Handsheikh 18 days ago; others appeal more. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 2 (3) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Three wins this year, the latest by a nose over C&D (good to firm) in May; still in good form, albeit he was behind Faustus when third over C&D (good to firm; winner did it easily) last month; probably won't be far away. |

12th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
6f course winner who doesn't appear to be ground dependent; plenty to prove based on his four starts (6f-1m) since joining his current trainer but is on a handy mark if he can be revived. |
20/1 |
|
7th 5 (1) |
9th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Course winner who is well handicapped on his best form of last year, but he's been out of sorts in three runs for new yard (6f-1m) this spring; has plenty to prove and he needs a big turnaround; another change of headgear. |
14/1 |
|
3 (12) |
22nd May 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
6f turf and 1m Polytrack winner; well below par on his first two starts for this trainer; others preferred. |
12/1 |
