14th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Both turf wins have come at Doncaster where he beat only one home last time out (7f, good); that was his fourth disappointing run in succession. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Both turf wins have come at Doncaster, the second in the corresponding event 12 months ago; wouldn't judge him too harshly on York last time and the return to this track and Class 5 company could see him rebound. |
9/1 |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Behind on his only run here (2023); Doncaster last June saw his only turf win since 2021, amidst plenty of AW success admittedly but he was out of form in February when last seen; has a competitive mark but other cases look a bit more solid, particularly as he's drawn wide. |

11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Usually seen over further but he goes well on slow ground and is only 1lb higher than for his big-field win at York last summer (7f, good to soft); big run wouldn't be a bolt from the blue. |

5th 2 (8) |
1st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Didn't appear to be crying out for the return to 1m at Doncaster and weakened late on; this is his trip, over which he was twice runner-up at Wolverhampton in March; not handicapped out of it, either. |

Hurtling down the weights but for good reason as this multiple winner is looking very regressive. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Fully 15lb lower than when winning at Lingfield (6f, AW) last December but this 9yo has regressed in recent months; has to turn things around. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |

On a good mark, fully 14lb lower than when winning last season's Great St Wilfrid, but 0-14 at 5f and he is drawn out wide. |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won over C&D in January and was also on target at Nottingham (6f, good) in June but was always behind at Lingfield (6f, AW) a fortnight ago and is far too inconsistent to rely upon. |
16/1 |
|
8th 6 (8) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Course winner at 1m; a good spell in the New Year included a 7f win on Wolverhampton AW and he was back on song when winning over 6f at Nottingham in June; soft ground perhaps not helpful on next two starts but he has a bit to prove on his first C&D run. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Course regular; his latest third (8.6f) was a remote one behind an easy winner but it was still a creditable effort; no sign of age denting his enthusiasm and he should make another bold bid. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 5 (7) |
16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Three wins here in the winter to take his course tally to 11 but he's rather lost the plot since and doesn't often go beyond 7f these days; needs a revival. |

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. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 190y Class 6 |
10st 10lb |
Runaway winner at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) last November, but he's struggled since and was tailed off on his stable debut at Wolverhampton (1m6f) last month; now only 1lb higher than for his last success but he needs a major revival back in trip. |
9/1 |

7th 5 (7) |
21st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
Hit with a sharp rise in the weights after running away with a 0-55 here last backend and has struggled since, including in one go over this far; has moved yards yet again (new trainer also runs Shopaholic) which needs to have helped. |
4/1 |

10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Took this in 2025 for Michael Wigham; also won for Barry Brennan at Wolverhampton in November but well below par in three runs for that yard this season; starts out for another stable here with something to prove. |

9st 8lb |
Doesn't win too often on the Flat these days but he has been placed on his last two starts, chasing home Seraphic at Chelmsford four weeks ago (1m2f); each-way claims again. |

27th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |

Prolific winning hurdler who opened AW account with clear win in amateur riders' race at Chelmsford in June; returned to the Flat with two below-par runs at Kempton this month, though, and has only dropped 1lb. |
