1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple wins include four over C&D; his losing AW run goes back two years but he's on a handy mark now and showed he can make it pay when close up at Bath (1m) recently after getting checked in his run; blinkers return and Oisin Murphy rides for the first time; can be involved. |

8st 9lb |

3rd Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won twice at Newcastle in March (1m and 7f); beaten favourite in all three handicap runs on turf but he has shown a useful level of ability in defeat; needs a bit more to defy this mark but getting back on AW may be beneficial. |
10/1 |
|

3rd Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Dual novice winner, at 1m then 7f; close up in two 1m handicaps, looking likely to win in the new cheekpieces at Ayr (good to firm) until collared late on; drops to 7f with blinkers now tried and hard to rule out. |

23rd Jun 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Six wins on turf and 0-9 on the AW, though was only beaten a head here (8.6f) last October and is now 3lb lower; each-way claims. |
9/1 |

2nd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Six-time turf winner but his last success was in August 2023; returned to form with a close call at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in October but diminishing returns since and was only fourth of five on his Bath reappearance (1m, firm) last month; others preferred. |

14th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
All four Flat wins on the AW and had far inferior figures on turf; stamina wouldn't be guaranteed for hurdling. |
10/1 |
|
7th 3 (3) |
24th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
All four wins on AW; sole turf run came when last of five at Bath (1m, firm) in May but he won at Wolverhampton (9.5f, AW) three weeks later; beat one home at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) last time and he needs to prove stamina and effectiveness on grass; would be a first winner for rider Henry Callan. |
10/1 |
|
9th 9 (10) |
19th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Blinkers have helped, with three wins from the front already this year, and proved his stamina over this far at Wolverhampton last time; landed another wide stall today and this is tougher, upped another 3lb, but he enters calculations. |
