20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Has gained all four of his wins at Newcastle, with the most recent of those successes coming there over 5f 16 days ago; 3lb rise looks fair but he was well beaten when last seen over 6f. |
8/1 |

1st 2 (4) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
All three of his wins have come at Newcastle and he has run some good races this winter, including his latest third when keeping on after an awkward start (not his first); capable at this level; respected. |

21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Better on AW than turf but handicapped accordingly; not beaten far at Wetherby on his penultimate start but this is a better race and he has since finished down the field at Wolverhampton. |
16/1 |

8th 3 (6) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has won here but at his best at Newcastle where he has gained his last four wins; can ruin chance by starting slowly but is not firing on all cylinders at present anyway; best to wait until he returns to Newcastle. |
16/1 |

3rd 1 (2) |
15th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |

Better on the AW, but has a 15lb lower rating on turf; Newcastle winner in March; not disgraced on latest turf start at Beverley last month, but modest effort in a visor (on again) on Tapeta last time; a possible. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Has a better strike-rate on the AW (4-26) than on turf (3-39); 4lb below his last winning mark, but has to put a modest effort at Ayr (5f, good to firm) last month behind him. |
14/1 |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Now 3lb lower than when winning on AW at Newcastle (5f) in January; fair form on turf last twice, latest when 2l fourth at Thirsk (5f, good); has won on fast ground; each-way chance. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
9yo who was well beaten at 33-1 at Redcar a fortnight ago; however, he may have needed that first run since January and he completed an AW hat-trick late last year, the first leg coming over this C&D; he's won here three times and could bounce back with a bold show returned to Southwell. |
10/1 |

9th 2 (9) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Enjoyed a terrific spell on AW at the end of 2025, winning four times; given a break since a lesser effort behind Spring Is Sprung at Southwell in January; runner-up in this race last year but off 14lb lower. |
25/1 |

18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Has only managed to win two of his last 31 starts, though he got it right when recording his second C&D success last month (four of these behind); had excuses back here last time (blindfold removed late) and he's a big player if things pan out right this time. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Three-time C&D winner, including twice off higher marks in the month of April; unlucky third, having found daylight too late, in this race 12 months ago; soft ground was against him here last weekend; likely player if the cards drop right. |
10/1 |
|
9th 6 (8) |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Below best on latest course start in October but has a strong C&D record otherwise, three wins include this race (good to soft) last year; now 2lb lower and primed for a good run if he avoids trouble in running. |
9/2 |
|
7th 10 (4) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Hasn't won as often as one of his ability probably should but he did score twice in 2025, the latter win over C&D; 3lb higher in a better race this time and he'll need to be somewhere near last year's best to take this after four months off. |

28th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner; consistent in defeat on AW before making a successful return to turf at Nottingham (5f, good) 19 days ago, with reopposing Dc Cogent and Marajito behind in third and fifth; did that quite comfortably but a 6lb rise puts him 3lb above his highest win mark of 66; has also yet to score back-to-back in his 41-race career. |
2/1 |
|
1st 7 (9) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Has reached the frame on AW in his last six starts including when a close second at Newcastle (5f; tongue-tie added) last month; record of 1-21 on turf but conditions should be fine back in this sphere and he had a close call off 1lb higher at Beverley last summer; interesting contender for yard that has won this race in the last two years. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 5 (2) |
13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Three of his four wins have come over C&D; not beaten far at Southwell on his last two starts; dropped another 1lb and he's a leading contender back at this track; stable runs three here. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Acts on good to firm and soft; nine-time winner who scored by 4l at Catterick two weeks ago but was disappointing under a penalty there last Wednesday; up another 4lb, but he was as good as ever on his penultimate run and is a player if he can recapture that form. |
5/1 |
|
5th 9 (9) |
26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Failed to beat a rival home at Thirsk (5f, good) but he's won over this C&D either side of that, including when coming 4l clear nine days ago; looks well treated under a 4lb penalty but this is a step up in class. |
4/1 |
|
1st 3 (4) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Wins his share and he got off the mark for the year over C&D last month; well held at Thirsk three days ago but in a Class 4; this should be more suitable. |

13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

12/1 |

6th 5 (7) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
5f AW win in April; ran well at Ripon (5f, good) later that month but he has struggled twice since; has a C&D win on his record but others bring more pressing claims. |
