11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Picking up his share of prize money this season, making the frame five times either side of his Pontefract (6f, good) win last month; despite that he is still 5lb lower than when a close fourth in this race 12 months ago; each-way shout. |
11/1 |

2nd 3 (7) |
25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Finished second in the corresponding race 12 months ago when rated 4lb higher; back to winning ways at Pontefract (6f, good) this month and his latest C&D third was another good run; place claims once again. |
5/1 |

3rd 1 (1) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Off the mark for the year when comfortably seeing off nine rivals at Pontefract (6f, good) 11 days ago; 2lb well in under a penalty; ran well over C&D last summer; solid claims. |

1st Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Struggled on turf on two of his last three starts (ran well over 6f here in between) but that hasn't done his mark any harm; a strongly run race at this trip would suit; likely to go well. |
15/2 |

6th 5 (3) |
21st Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Had a productive time on AW over the winter and he's held his form well enough; the only real blip since November came when disappointing at Windsor on his penultimate start which now raises doubts back on turf. |
12/1 |

1st Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
His form dipped on turf three weeks ago but he was in fine form on AW over the winter, winning twice at Lingfield and going close over C&D last month; perhaps a shade high in the weights for a race as competitive as this one. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Hasn't won for two years but made an encouraging return from his second wind op and a six-month layoff when runner-up at Carlisle (6f, soft) last month; holds claims if he can back up that run. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 5 (6) |
8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Has had wind surgery on two occasions, namely prior to reappearance success in 2024 (off 3lb higher) and prior to this 2026 seasonal debut; today may prove the time to catch him. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Inconsistent this year but ran encouragingly over C&D returned to AW last time and has possibilities provided he builds on that effort; defied higher marks twice in this sphere in 2021. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Merely mid-division at Newmarket (6f, good) three weeks ago but prior to that he took a step back in the right direction when third on the Rowley Mile there (6f, good) and his stable is in fine form; not discounted. |
7/1 |
|
8th 4 (8) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Beat Fiscal Policy decisively on the Rowley course (6f, good to firm) last May when rated 3lb higher; ran well for third in the same race five weeks ago; not ruled out. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 11 (11) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Tame end to last season and no return to form on his two starts this year; however, he's 2lb lower than when winning this under Olivia Haines last year (good to firm) and the return to the Rowley Mile could trigger a revival. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
6-35 for Stuart Williams but 0-11 on turf and, despite a falling mark, that's the obvious concern on this first start for new connections. |
20/1 |
|
6th 7 (7) |
26th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Third, beaten 1.25l by Over Spiced, in a C&D handicap three weeks ago; that represented his best turf result but this race will demand an even bigger effort. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 6 (3) |
4th May 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Big chance on his AW form but he has finished out of the placings in all nine turf runs; BHA mark is 15lb lower on turf but he's likely to remain vulnerable. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
His three wins have come over 6f but he's hinted when running well over that trip this summer that this return to 7f is worth exploring; versatile ground-wise and could be in with a chance. |
10/1 |

14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
C&D winner last year; promising efforts over C&D and at Yarmouth (both on soft) last month but he found things happening too quickly on good to firm ground over C&D on Monday; blinkers now replaced by a new visor. |
16/1 |
|
9th 12 (2) |
11th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Form off current mark, all in Class 4, features a success over C&D in 2024 and placed efforts the last twice; steps up two grades but Oliver Carmichael takes off a handy 7lb; could go well. |
