13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Eight times an AW winner but he has run just three times on turf and offered little on each occasion; plenty to prove. |

29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Hasn't troubled the judge since returning in December from a short break and finished well behind Spirit Of Bowland over C&D last time. |

26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Last win away from Newcastle was in 2021; slow starts have been holding him back so both classified fourths over C&D this month can arguably be upgraded; chance rests largely on the start. |

10th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Six of his seven wins have been on AW and yet to win beyond 8.5f; second of 11 at Pontefract (1m, good) ten days ago where he stayed on to suggest this longer trip should suit. |

Probably better on the AW but won on turf for David O'Meara in July 2021 (6f, good); good second over 1m at Newcastle two runs back and not beaten far when seventh of 13 at Thirsk last week (7f, good to firm). |

28th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Back on form when second in a C&D handicap last month; possibly unsuited by a drop to 6f for the first time in well over two years when seventh at Kempton since; good shout if recapturing the previous C&D form. |
3/1 |

7th 7 (8) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Raced over further since handicapping and his sole success came over 1m last May; second of seven at Lingfield last time (7f), well positioned in a race that was steadily run to halfway; on a competitive mark but dropping to 6f is the query. |
7/1 |

2nd 6 (8) |
24th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

Well handicapped on his Newcastle win (1m) last May but he's hard to predict and was beaten 10l at Southwell (7f) last time; that took his record to 1-23 and others are preferred. |

Four handicap wins in 2024; 0-7 this year and form dipped the last twice but could rebound at this level; major contender at the weights on classified debut. |

18th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Four wins in 2024, one of them here (8.3f, good to soft); not at his best at Musselburgh 11 days ago but he's slipped to a good mark and this is uncompetitive; solid candidate. |
3/1 |
|
10th 5 (3) |
7th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has finished close up when fourth/fifth the last twice (8.3f/1m2f, good to firm) and he was on the scoresheet here (1m1f, good) last July; won on good to soft ground ten days later; every chance he'll be thereabouts. |

10th Apr 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Continues to edge down the weights and he's run the odd fair race this year, but he's without a win since November 2023 and it's hard to be confident regarding his claims. |

He has run some fair races for this yard but all four wins, the latest of them in November 2023, have come over 6f on Polytrack; solid effort over 1m last week; each-way shout. |

No problem with conditions but on a losing run and he needs to step up a level judged on recent efforts. |

6th 9 (2) |
19th Feb 2026 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

He has run some fair races this winter (had a third wind op prior to his return in October) but he was never in contention behind The Gay Blade over C&D nine days ago; others appeal more for win purposes. |

Two wins over 1m at Ripon last season (good/good to firm); a bit disappointing this term (4l fourth of seven at Pontefract latest) but on a good mark now. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |

20th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

2-42; slipped leaving the stalls over C&D last time but, while that's easily excused, hasn't been shaping like a winner waiting to happen either; it's possible that with a clear run, he might have sneaked into the frame at Wetherby (7f) in April; others more obvious. |
